Default Blue Turbo IS300

Naperville area IS300? You guys know him? He raced me and video taped it. Im not calling foul but feathering the throttle due to traffic gave him a huge advantage over me and Id like to get him from a dig cause I noticed his power from a stop wasnt so hot. I figured if I have a chance of having a video of my car being posted online I dont want to have me loosing by a huge margine because I was driving like kindve a puss. Although ramming my WS6 into an SUV wouldnt have been worth a win.

I dont know him he just creeped up on me and caught me off guard, I felt like a moron... I was watching myself drive like a noob... This is what I get for not having an automatic car ever.

still no go, does it seem like it wants to start, or is it just straight cranking with no intention of running

and like i said before, that posi is out of a 3ch abs car, things made noise since i put it in, gear went from whine to growl, had Speed Inc replace the gear with a 3.42, made really loud whine from the moment i drove away from the shop, they thought it was a bad gear, and replaced it again, this time still making noise but much much quieter. they said the housing was bent and thats why you can't get a perfect mesh, but i think its the posi being that there was no nosie with the stock posi. it got to the point it sounded like you could hear every tooth on the gear engaging

now maybe i had the mesh off the 1st time, and Speed couldn't get it right twice , but i think theres something wrong with the diff and i said it was gonna make noise since day one
