got out to the track today and got 3 runs in. 1rst 2 runs were solid 10.80's and then i got pissed because my tranny started making noise after i just installed it so i said screw it and ran for a 3rd time. Thats when the magic happened.
the right lane was mine. I finaly launched it hard and it got sorta sideways but straightened right out. Felt realy good and i tried my hardest to chase down my oponant in the left lane.
the track run is in the beginning of the vid. the rest is of me acting like a little boy on christmas morning after i get my time slip. sorry this is the only vid i got. i went to a normal track day today by myself. its amazing when you can actually shift into 2nd gear. but now my tranny sounds like its got a supercharger strapped to it again.

yea, i need to shift faster and then idk.lol i think it has to be suspension tuning. I had great traction on the launch but at the top of first i felt it spin a little. Probably my suspension unloading. But i think your ahead of the game, auto is the way to go to be fast. The guy next to me had an auto and look how bad he pwnd me even with my mph.Originally Posted by zemaestro

switched up the flava of my sig. My car is going to sleep until april/may ish next year when all the snow clears out and tracks begin to open. I need to buy a new bearing for my tranny and ill probably send it out to get cryotreated since it seams to be working for me with everything else.

axles, hence there not breaking anymore. Ive been to 3 drag events and i have nothing broken to show except 2 trannys. Im sure the slicks helped out as well, but the combo seams to be holding up sofar. I reinforced the driveshaft with polyeurothane, but i think i may have to send that out to get the treatment as well. Its cheap enough that id be crazy not to try.
