I'll be aiming for 35+ next year!! What was everyones best reaction time?? After running crap ETs i tried to nail a good light to try and holeshot a few on most runs... best of .490! (.400 is perfect) aww my slips are in the car, so i'll have to have a look later but i know i had a few reactions in the 0.400 bracket. QUOTE(psi999 @ Nov 6 2006, 02:59 PM) [snapback]1280440187[/snapback] Straight cut syncro could be an option, it really depends on how much power you want to make and how fast you want to go. Sounds like your all over it though, just do as much research as you can before laying down your hard earnt cash. (fyi - a full 6-speed conversion your looking at about 5.5k (non DCCD sti 6-speed, and 5-speed automatic tailshaft (may also need a ratio change in your diff, but i've got one at home that will suit your car anyways haha)...... you'll never break it and will still be worth just as much in the future if you pull it out and want to sell it). thanks for the help and advice  anything you can offer is much appreciated! gearboxes = big dollars and i don't want to screw it up! i'm not really that much on top of it to be honest, have only really started thinking about it seriously since the most recent round of mods. i'm not quite up on all the ratio changes etc but i know it's something that has to be considered and so i plan to put as much research into this as possible. I'm still learning, but I do alright for a girl |

QUOTE(IFLI2 @ Nov 6 2006, 03:59 PM) [snapback]1280440168[/snapback] Well, next time, as Ang has said, track prep will be included. So those who dont want to pay a little bit extra (for everyones safety) can give it a miss. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way having a stab at you! Just wanted to give you the opinion's of those that need traction to make the day enjoyable and not spent trying to keep it off the wall. Agreed. It was great seeing a few quick cars mixing it up. The FED was awesome, i could sit there and watch, smell and listen to cars like that fire up all day long! The VHT would have helped everyone get that little extra bit of grip as well. QUOTE Highlight was seeing a few faces I hadn't seen in a long while! Same here! But it poses a problem..... i was starting to get out of it a bit and wasnt missing the car scene a great deal as i have other priorities in life now.... but after yesterday all i want to do is get out and tinker with the old girl a bit and i cant wait to get back up there and meet up and cruise with a few people just like the old days!!! |

I noticed the traction compound made a difference when compared to normal Test n' Tunes. I'd launch where I did that day and smoke the tyres, on sunday I had axle tramp then bog.... *waits for 4500rpm to roll around for boost* |
