Default 2nd gear scratch?
Guys,

Anyone ever got a 2nd gear scratch in their GS400?? I did it tonight and I was DAYYYUM!!

I finally got my VB upgrade finished and it is awesome. Definitely recommended.

I am still sitting here with a big on my face!!

Hey man,

The VB came from Turboeast. Just took the scenic route

I had a local guy do it for $150. Well worth it if you want a hard and firm shift. If you enjoy your smooth shifting then I do not advise it.

The 3.76, high stall TC and VB upgrade make a serious difference.

Not for the faint hearted!! Trying to keep the car going in a straight line is somewhat difficult!!

Hey,

Yes, I think I still hit it - I have barely gotten to drive the car since I got it back with the VB done. I am running 310's but they are too small for my setup.

I have no idea on the mpg. I finally got it tuned on Friday night. On Saturday morning I bought a new car so I drove it all day, then Monday it went to get the VB done, and now it has been sitting in the garage because I have been working too much.

Are you planning on going boost?

Jonny
