Default My wife doing donuts

She had not driven my car since the LS1 swap.
My directions:
1. Cut the wheel
2. Floor it
3. Dump the clutch
4. Repeat

Seems like it doesn't matter who you are or how "unsafe" you feel, you can't help but smile while doing donuts (as the driver or passenger).

+1 for a super cool (and pretty) wife. My fiance would probably be too scared.

You should have taught her better before cutting her loose on her own. The simplicity in your instructions shows in the video.

Here is where I bought the engine: https://ls1tech.com/forums/southern-...longblock.html
It has had some mainteanace done before I put it in like new oil pump, seals etc. I was not too happy about bouncing off the rev limiter but I also was not worried about it. The engine will either be replaced or rebuilt at the end of this season.

It is a crappy 2jz. It does not have as strong of a bottom end like the Supra. It was cheaper to swap than to build...
