On the search for an A4 98-02 WS6 for the summer.

Also, if anybody hears any good deals on a single or pair of jetskiis, let me know. I need a few of those too for summer

I mainly did it to keep from knocking syncros out of the t56 at higher rpm. They really dont like being shifted over 6500, not to say they won't do it....but they won't do it for long.

At least you realise the gearing of the t56 elimates the advantage mustangs have out the gate with their 1st/2nd gears. If you lose that your done....lol
Well the T56 is infact sold now! It was sold within 3 hours of being up for sale. LOL ****...now I actually have to remove it and ship it. I hate this part. Well I'm going to shop around for transmissions. I think I'm sold on the TKO 500 but who knows. Might throw some 1.7 RRs on and a few other things. Plan to hit the track next season with the 95 and not the Mach. Hope Sepno installs a cam or nitrous AND the rear end.

Driving around just a Mitsubishi Eclipse is getting depressing... lol

If I can find a clean one in my price range, I'd rent out a storage unit up here in Ames to store it in. The fraternity parking lot isn't exactly forgiving on vehicles

Needs more video.





Actually having a meet tonight. Started in a gay Facebook group with a bunch of young kids with gay cars, but actually grew some and some quicker cars will be showing up. Look for the video in the next couple days if I get a decent amount of vids (with my new camcorder ), mostly high 13-mid 12 second cars, but maybe some quicker ones as well. 37* out...should be interesting.
