i learned on this run that @ 1/4 fuel level, under hard left drifts i suck air and kinda stall until the fuel gets back in the tank or whatever and she has power again

here i guess i had been missing it but i found i hadn't been spraying my nitrous at all but just to enter the first drift, so i decided to shut the **** off completely and remove the tanks, the rest is all motor, also still dealing with the sloshy gas issue's on left drifts

I saw your car in the pits yesterday but didn't get to meet you or see you run. Nice work for an auto!

good job bro practice practice,and not bad for auto/open diff practice more then u can start upgrading id deff look into 5spd swap. n welded. at least u got out there n did it and as long as u had fun. i bet u were sliddin around all over leather seats. a bucket seat would be really helpful if your gona do more track days. good job i wish i had taken more vids when i do track days

yea deffenatly a plus about the auto was that i had somthing to hold on too! lol
but were looking at getting the dif welded this next week or so. i found a shop that said they would do it for $150 i dont know if thats a good price or not.

i also wanna find me anouther set of rims that i can get cheap tires for too.
i had to barrow a pair from triple c for the event. i think a pair of 15's would be great so i can spin them better.

i do want a 5spd but it seems like SO much work to swap to one. or maybe im wrong. how hard is it? and about how much? anyone know these answers?

Also i would like to figure out a sloution to the gas bull**** cuz the race fuel was $6.86 a gallon, and i still had 1/4 tank when it was stalling out on left hand drifts. has anyone else had this issue?

ok first off. im not sure how hard it is to do a swap sincei never done it. ask around get quotes, im sure a tranny n parts would be around 500ish is a good price for labor im guessing 500-700 for labor

price for a welded diff is around 150 if u take the diff out yourself which isnt bad but make sure they weld the crap put of it so welds dont break on u

best of luck bro

I don't drift but when I am turning very hard with a quarter tank or less it will cut out like that, especially if I flick the tail out at the end. I believe it only happened on left hand turns as well when I think back.

Rob did you get any footage of my Sc3 on saturday. My gro pro was set for pictures all day so i got basically nothing and a bunch of my buddies 240 sitting in the staging line.
So basically I didnt get hardly anything. Hopefully my old man can send me a video or pics. I was so busy all day i didnt even really take any pictures
