Number Tew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I read her description in the video with you that's how I knew. Yeah if you run in a class that has permanent numbers, its best to just have them in vinyl on the carSent from my Milestone X2 using Tapatalk 2O I know, I just knew she was legit, and I was some noob.In my defense, as stated, that was my second time ever going down the strip, and I never launch my car on the street. I made up for 2 seconds though on my next pass, which is not on video ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilRoush Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's amazing what a change going from the 'street' Bullitt wheels to the track wheels makes. Unless you knew, that could be any old GT at a stoplight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really like the ribs on there! Did you just run a bead of weld on that, or did you buy the aluminum ridged in such a fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 We have a bead roller at the shop. Its for strength. without it, the aluminum would just sag in the middleSent from my Milestone X2 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Sick! And how you run those times with that shifter is beyond me lol. I could never get comfortable with shifters like that, I need a ball Question, do you powershift, or do you let off the gas between shifts?I'm a bit nervous about powershifting.

F8L GT Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I power shift but I have a face plated Trans now that allows me to do it quicker than a synchronized Trans.

Brian Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 How does a face plated trans drive just around town? Is that something you can do to the T5 or is it not worth putting this much money into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 shifting can be a pain in the ass. But once you're in great, its like any other. I think down shifting is worse than up shifting. Unless it sees a lot of track, I wouldn't do itSent from my Milestone X2 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I powershift the hell out of the t45. it takes the beating and takes it well, the spec clutch didn't but meh, the weak link is always the first to blow haha.

In fact, if you know how to heel toe it's an easy transition. I always heel toe shift so when i swap over to a dog ring t5, it'll be no problem.

Brian Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Really? MGWs are like butter. The only reason my MGW is stiff is because my transmission needs to be serviced. Otherwise its smooth not notchy or stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
