any guesstimate on what the T61 is putting down to the wheels?
i have gone back to the track since the r154 install. problem is i didn't have the MT's so i had to run the 19's. launching was a problem but my best trap that day was 119.

no idea what i'm putting down yet, just haven't had the time to dyno. plus, i need to install the MBC.

the spec stage3+ with the super clamp option was fine and the w58 was good when i had it although hard to drive on the street as the pedal was very heavy.

alright, lovely wife got me some side skirts for xmas (well, i found them, she payed for them but it's the thought that counts).











the color is a bit off on the skirts but that's because my car was resprayed by the previous owner. final thing is to repaint the whole car and i should be done! it's only taken me about 2 years to get to this point. =)

another update: i had the stock w58 shifter modified so it would be a little further back. i was going to bend the shifter per my post here: Strength of Metal

unfortunately when i was trying to heat the shifter, it melted the rubber holding the top damper piece on. so i had to go another route. i had the top piece welded back on but towards the rear of the shifter, as well as a little lower than stock (welds aren't great but it should hold). i didn't take any good pictures before installing but i just took this so you can see it:


here's how it looks with everything installed once again. as you can see, it sits right in the middle in neutral.


as compared to this:
