cool cool its dope that you prioritize man! but hey if you're slipping in an xB you know you're doin something right!

 

haha true

 

lil update just picked up a killer deal on brand new TRD LSD
^_^

snagged it up for now but going be putting it in jan/feb with new clutch and lightweight flywheel
and some other new goodies ^_^

just visited Descendent shop and saw there street TC2 now running around 600hp, lets just say i have a new goal for my box
^_^

 

she so purty!!

 

So jealous... I hit up Kareem about a 6speed swap. Seems like it would be a bit of work making it fit with the xB2, but I may start piecing it together.

 

Yea would be so cool, have that extra gear on freeway

 

Im dropping car off around Jan/feb to get clutch and stuff installed, ill talk to Rob and Kareem about maybe trying work on 6spd transmission mounts while its there. For you and others that would be interested. I know they have XB2's there but may be easier since will already have my transmission out.

 

I wonder, I remember hearing issues about XB2/TC 5 speeds before. Did anyone ever bother figuring out a fix or do people just deal with it?

 

If I could find someone to put my flipping lsd in, I would be able to do a great write up (with pictures) of an xb2 auto to camry 5 speed swap.

 

So taking the baby to the shop mañana to get clutch,lsd and light weight flywheel done ^_^ so excited can't wait to get her back already haha

So just installed the GGP motor mount and love it, it makes car vibrate a lot but makes her feel like a beast ready to unleash. Driving and shifting feel so much smoother and tight. It gives the exhaust a lil different tone at some rpms cuz the tighter engine with less movement. I greatly recommend as long as you don't mind the vibration.

 

I have the Weapon-R torque damper and I feel it's easier to shift. However, it keeps loosening up on me so I'm highly considering the GGP motor mount.

I want more bay pics! Descendant turbo kit is dead sexy.

 

yea i like the ggp mount

ill take some in morning if remember

 

With the ggp mount, when I turn on my A/C while sitting at a red light, my car turns into a 4 person massage chair.

 

hahaha yea true but i don't mind

 

When I had the GGP mount installed with my AT, everything including my teeth rattled at stop signs and lights. If I shifted into neutral, the vibration was very tolerable, especially with the softer inserts. I wouldn't recommend the GGP mount for anyone with a AT XB.

 

my gf actually likes the mount cuz she said she doesn't feel so much jerk in the passenger seat when i shift


just got back from picking up the car from world racing west
got act clutch and light weight flywheel + lsd done

feels nice so far in the morning going to local shop to get my new continental dw 225/50/16 installed and put my ebc red stuff brake pads on myself

i just need to get used to 1st gear since this clutch just clamps fully and great feels a lot different then stock, but other gear shifting is very nice

hopefully these new tires are stickier so can enjoy more

 

Older and wiser... ;) I love the GGP mount but it's strictly for M/T cars. The only way it would be tolerable for a A/T car would be to shift into neutral whenever stopped. The problem is the torque converter pre-loading the solid GGP mount whenever stopped and in gear. Even with the soft inserts it made the whole car shake so badly that it made a Harley Davidson feel like a Rolls Royce by comparison.

 

Some updated pics of xb, got mishimoto radiator, grill craft upper grill, eagle eye halo headlights, and my 5axis kit repainted.
Cars still at World Racing Torrence getting boost gauge set at 10&12psi and dyne street tuned this week. Will post numbers and hopefully a dyno chart

 

and yes thats the 2500hp supra they are working on in the background ^_^
my baby is in good company haha

 

Looks like a new tC on the right in the first photo.

Car looks sick! Makes me really want that lip kit! slowly liking those headlights, too. Stoked to see results.
