Spring Mod help.

OK Spring is coming. I want to update my interior. Was thinking of race seats and doing some other upholstery stuff. Need some ideas or some pictures. When I show at Carlisle. My interior is holding me back from scoring high. It's getting worn. Plus the drivers seat metal has separated from the foam so it digs in my side.

2nd is I want to put some gears in my car. Not sure if I should go with 3:73's or 4:10's. Also what brand of gears? Richmonds? I like to go to the track a few times a year. So I was thinking of 4:10's with my Nittos. Will be buying rims just for the drag radials as if you keep them on all summer it sandblasts the bottom of your quarters. Or atleast it did mine.

Most of this stuff will be happening in the spring as I still need to get my car to the body shop for some touch ups that weren't fixed right in the first place. Have to make the appointment soon. Hopefully in the next few weeks. Thanks for any help.

I live in the next town over, not sure if I can help. As for the seats, Corbeau has some nice choices.

As for the gears, are you running M6 or A4? If M6, go 4.10. If A4, go 3.73. I'll probably be doing the 3.73 swap myself this spring as well, so email/pm me in March/April? Maybe we'll get a Western Mass "Modfest" going.

If you want a set of gears that will be quiet and be just as good as the stock ones then get a set of GM/motive Gears.
I have a set of strange gears and they will getting replaced cause they are so noisy.

I have a M6. So I think I'm going with the 4:10's.

As for cow tipping. No cows near me as I don't live in the south part of Belchertown. Shoot I have Stop and Shop less than a mile from my house.

>Hey Carrie ,
I had GM 4.10's in my stock rear that was installed by RED BARN speed shop in Ludlow ... I believe that Jake charged me $125.00 for the install .
I still have them in a box if your interested . I recommend getting the deluxe install kit when you go and get them installed along with a bottle of GM's rear differential additive .

It's only going to get developed even more. I'm the sales rep for the gas utility that supplies the Stop & Shop. The developer tells me the land between CVS and S&S will be developed in the next year or so, not to mention the two banks going up. So much for small town life... Fortunately, no one wants to develop Ware...except Walmart.
