I am so proud!!!!
Way to go!!!!
I built the trans to "level 2" specs, B&M shifter.
Creative Steel motor, trans and diff mounts.
It did look like that cradle was dancing around like crazy on that one video. Get the hop under control, and 60fts. should be able to be dropped more.
Congrats again!
I really miss that car....

Yea…but...I had my A/C and heated seats on, old air in the tires, an un-aerodynamic hood, and tan interior is slow, or something!!!

Definitely going to look in to getting everything more planted and solid back there. This won't be the last you see of it, that's for sure. I'm going to run the 265s until I've squeezed everything out of them, then I'll get a tire size suited for something other than a honda civic!

Thanks man! I'm glad to have had the opportunity to pick up where you left off with it.

I'm gonna focus on the suspension and driver mod as much as possible this season. Once those things are in order I'll bring it back up to you and we'll find a couple hundred more ponies under that chopped up hood!

Come up and drive it any time!

What drive shaft is in that car? Two piece, or one (alum/CF)?

Lol I like to run with my heated seats on also... Keeps my ***** nice and warm. A few guys are going up to 305s... Or rather trying to go to 305s. Only time will tell. Everyone said an auto wouldn't work but a few have tossed in auto transmissions. Its only a matter of time til someone stuffs 305s in there.

Looks like you pedaled that car just fine. Gotta take care of that suspension and cradle.

I'm stoked you put that power and those #'s through their carbon shaft. I had my doubts about it handling it.

Thank you
If you did it again would you stay w/ 3.73 or go 4.10 or 3.55? (I'm at a convenient point to change mine if it makes sense)
