Ewww, change the bulbs in your cluster and fix your needles!

I saw this the other day. My ES 300 pulls a little harder than that but its been a while since Ive beaten on it. If you shift before the torque drop off (6000 rpm or so) youll run a faster time. Motor sounds good; stock intake? And yea fix those gauges. How many miles are on that thing?

I know I need to fix my needles but I dont think I can do it. I am not exactly skilled at that. The bulbs are pretty new I just had the display turned down. The intake is Weapon-R I know it doesnt give any power but I like the sound and it has 91600 miles.

lol looking at the video i posted awhile back.....that was a really really bad launch. I never race but just for the heck of it i ran my friend's sc4 yesterday till about 70-75 from a redlight.....dont wanna give too much details but let me tell you my car is definitely NOT as slow as i previously thought....he didn't start pulling on me until about 60....thats when his v8 really shines. Maybe when it gets warmer, i'll take a video of a "good" launch!
