Hi Peeps

Thanks to Martin H , my electric sunroof is finaly fitted to my 3dr

it's bit dark to take some pics but i will upload some tomorrow it looks pretty cool to be honest


I have had the sunroof for 2 yrs just lying in the front room doing nothing and i thought to myself it's about time i got this fitted

I am going to get the T56 6 speed gearbox fitted sometime next yr aswell

I have had this gearbox sitting here doing nothing for the last 4/5 yrs it a camero/firebird T56 very simalar to the T5 cossie ratios


cheers martin for doing the sunroof


cheers marco

 

pics or STFU



if no pics then dont post till you have them!

 

Can't wait to see how you can make a pic of an electric sunroof look interesting Marco

 

T56 is a top box i reckon, and 30 kilos extra right in the middle of hte car isnt exactly going to ruin perofrmance or handling

 

Spadge ....lol...

well might look different to other 3dr's




Marco

 

chip


i do think the T56 will lose abit of performance , but nothing to cry about


I will be upgrading power sometime next yr so i might aswell fit it

Marco

 

sweet time of year to fit it

i want one for mine

 

I've just took a couple of pics











i'll take some in the day light ..lol..

Marco

 

 

Andy

lol your right about wrong time of yr

 

there up lol

 

aaah, the power of pics or stfu

 

dave

wtf does this mean stfu ?

 

 

oh ok

 

Nice neat install.

Well done Martin & Marco

 

you might have fitted an electric sunroof mullet man to try and convince
your self its a road car , but its still a TRACK CAR with rear seats.

 

when i spoke to tony earlier on today he said he was fitting a sunroof to a 3dr

me reckons tony shud be credited as well

oh cheers tony for tonight as well mate, much appreciated, although u turned up 2 hrs late and only turned a few bolts

see ya thursday night pal

 

neat job Marco
If you are going for a Martoon spec motor get your T56 modded by these guys!

The triple syncro change (fitted std in late model Corvettes) is a very worthwhile mod regardless of power

 

Marko, i feel all left out now,

and Stu, i told you i would be there for 7 ish, making that cup of tea for me at 5.30 was a little early, and cold when i tried to drink it at 7.30, lol

 

Oi oi oi Forest gump

it's still a rd car with all the creature comforts , I know you think it's a track but it isn't it has elecy roof/windows/mirrors/standard seats front and back /no cage/ standard seats belts/stero/speakers/door cards so that makes it a rd car

now the chassis thats a different story / suspesion/brakes/diff/geometry setting is not standard

so on a whole it a road car that weights 1350kg without me in it with 349.9 bhp thats it.. so the power to weight isn't that good

the standard 3dr weighs 1204kg

now yours is a track car






Yo Tony

many thanks mate you did a good job "when i said martin fitted it" i

meant the whole company



Yo Cam


thanks for that ,I think it's a good conversion , this box is rated @ 450 ft lbs +20%

i don't think i'll ever have that much power or torque in the cos but it is a good conversion tho for the T56

cheers Marco

 

The T56 conversion sounds well

Are the first 5 ratios almost the same ? just 6th being a lot longer.

Help the conversion goes well

Look forward to hearing about this

Steve.

 

Hi Steve

yes mate well the camero/firebird is some of the other T56's are alot different

there is not that much difference between the 2 gearboxes and the shift points are very simalar

you wouldn't notice anything when changing gear between the shift points

I was going to get the gearbox fitted 3yrs ago but i lost interest with the car

I wont have to take the car off the rd for long to do this conversion as i

got a spare propshaft and bellhousing and i can buy the clutch of the shelf that matchs the splines of this gearbox which can fit cos flywheel

cheers Marco

 

Belive it or not, they are not easy fit because you have to weld a bracket in to hold the motor

it's straight forward fit in the saff because they have it in already

 

Ahhh really cheers for the info!

i'll have to get the welder out then as well...........................its a Ford so it may as well get used to it

 

Hi Marco, did you ever get the swap done?
