Dont read too much into the Toyota sponsorship when it comes to his GS, the car was built 100% by SRT, to SRT's specs. Im sure he did take advantage of some "donated" products for this build from some of his other sponsors though. The joys of having a sponsorship......lucky bastard!!

My tranny will be built by SRT per their specs, new clutch packs, etc....and the valve body upgrade, and the addition of a transmission controller which we are hopig will get rid of the rev limiter issues.......you FI owners out there no what im talking about.

The tranny was one of those issues that bugged me for awhile. I thought of a few different avenues, all of which added up to alot more money. The tops on the list were the Supra TT 6 speed conversion, the TH400 auto conversion, and a few more. Mo @ SRT assured me that his build would hold up, and we made some deals on it in the event that it didnt hold up. He's putting his workd behind it, so IM going that route.....at least for now.

There are a few more touches to the performance side of the build that my car will be the first to have, I will leave it at that for now.
