Ya I dont think he watched the vid b4 posting. It got a bit out of shape right of the line but nothing too crazy. It was when the fitting pushed out on the big end that **** got real scary real fast.

Cool were you one of the red TAs or that GTO? It was the first Import RSD.
Once you spin the tires, the run is blown, its not going to recover and all he is doing is beating on the car. Also to mention, IF there was coolant or oil on the track or sub-par track conditions, having the car going back to WOT could induce spin again.
In the end we all gotta find a point where we feel comfortiable with but I just hate to see anyone either break, blow up, or crash. That is my feeling in general no matter who it is.
I think he will get this figured out very soon. I think the DR will take time to master as I have see nitrous cars react in similar fashion to stick cars, they like to blow the tires off. So they may need the same level of attention to parts and settings for the suspension.

I would tend to agree and after getting time to see the vid better, the car did not look that bad. Which is a good thing but what I will say is at least on a competitive basis.

I spoke with Madman and Im going to change the rear shock settings next time out so it doesnt unload like it did. I was actually suprised it recovered so fast on the DRs being 40* out and not many people at the track keeping it warm and most there were on street tires.

Your car looks/runs good! I think that was the guy next to me in the pits with the black civic and alum shroud on the front? Pretty sure he was in the low 10s
If he was in the low 10s that's impressive especially for a lil rice rocket. That was another night that I came home with bent/ twisted wheel studs. What are u hoping to run next year
