I ordered those 2013 GT500 wheels I posted a few pages back, changed my trans fluid, swapped my air filter out for a new one, and relocated my catch can.

This is about 6500-7K miles worth of oil from my can.

Bolt or weld in?
Bolt in, it needs to come out for DD duty. It mounts with 16 M10 grade 8 bolts.

looks good! How difficult was the install?
It was kind of a PITA. Getting things aligned was more difficult than anticipated--that was some user error some parts issues.

Here is a link to my build thread writeup: http://s197forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2241178&postcount=69

Next, I need to get the harnesses installed. Reading up on some old threads.

Swapped back to the factory wheels from the drag wheels- factory 18" still have mt dr on them- install new whiteline rear adjustable sway bar-set it at stiffest setting , man what a difference- hopeful this will control some body roll on launching- since installing new lower bmr control arms and relo's brackets the rear end really wanted to twist up(had no rear sway on at all) going to the track tomorrow only suppose to be a high of 70 degrees. hoping for a 1.55 60 but would be happy with 1.58- never had the car at the track on the 18's with the 5c in it.

Good stuff! How hard was it to change the trans fluid? Don't you have to pump it back in the trans on our model? I have never done it.

Take the fill plug out, run a few feet of tubing down through the shifter hole and and into the trans, pull the drain plug and let it rip, fill through the tube. Very easy job

Thanks Dylan,
How much does it take for the manual?

That stock look tho. Worked on the new engine a little bit. Going to change the gaskets, probably the guides and add some paint and my red valve covers.
