Nothing like blowing the welds on your intake manifold to ruin your day...

could theoretically happen...If the nitrous backfired into the intake, the pressure would pop it like a balloon under such high boost...He probably had a sheet metal intake too, and those things are fairly thin, since i've had one myself...I could see it happening

the double clutching thing never worked for me...I've heard thousands of pimply faced ************* tell me this, but i don't see why...As they were not driving a 1961 International Scout, why bother double clutching?

With the twin disc race clutch in my car I double clutch... but only when deaccelerating. If I don't the car will chirp the tires when the clutch engages For some reason that has a habit of throwing the car off the line when cornering.

Don't downshift while entering a turn...It will throw you off balance and if you come in too hot, you could spin...Ride the clutch and brakes, have the car in the right gear for exit...Hit your spot and then hammer it a tad early and it'll come out perfect...

That's one thing i miss about the Evo...The handling...I could drive that as hard as i wanted and the car would just laugh at me...

I remember after installing my twin disc clutch, i stallled like 7 times before i even got the car to move...Thing hooked after that though...
