^ Nice. We'll have to dub it the Freight Train.

It's heavy and big like a train I suppose :)

We didn't even get to try out the real gears (3-4), it was too wet. The car was going nuts in the water and we didn't want to push our luck. But I tried to give them a taste of what it is like.

Does your car maintain traction? 1st gear in mine is useless now with the 6266, just a spin factory. Not cool for me, I might look into better tires? I'd much rather have it hook.

I haven't tried 1st yet lol. But I dead hook in 2nd gear.

I do have 275's all around though which helps.
What size tire do you have?

I am pretty sure my 1st will be spin city if I want it to be.

Mark get some of the 245/45-17 M&H Racemasters that Bushur sells. Josh's car hooks pretty with with them making more power than you do.

Murlo, they make them in 275/45-18's too. ;)

On the RS3s, my car will spin into 3rd if the road isn't warm and pretty clean.

With the M&Hs it hooks fine on a cool road at a 50 roll brake boosting to 45psi.

LOL, 45psi brake boost haha.

I think I will just move to 285 sticky street tires. If I were to get drag radials, I would move to evo 8 front brakes and get 17's and slicks for a 2nd set of rims/tires.

My car is pretty good with traction as is. I guess I will see what 1st is like this Monday when I get home from up north.

Back to work on the evo tonight. Working on a bunch of little shit I have left to install. Need to rotate tires from front to back too (anyone know torque specs on wheels again, I feel like I did 80-90 ft/lbs last time, but never remember), shit is starting to wear.

Ripped out fogs and wiring harness for it....installed fog delete kit.

Nice! Fog lights are for street cars, this is now because race car! :) You bringing this hog up to BIR in a few weeks?

[Murlo26]

Undecided on BIR, shit has been crazy lately with life in general. I want to go but I am 50/50.
