Re: Project: Auto FWD

I took the car for a test ride today and by the first impressions I am very happy. it shifts good using the kiggly manual mod. I did a few 20MPH to 100 MPH pulls going through 3 gears. once the turbo spoools the car pulls like crazy. Spins through first shifts into 2nd very fast and hard. Little to no wheel spin in 2nd. 2nd gear feels like it only lasts a second or 2. Shifts hard into 3rd. At this point I finally looked at the speedo as it goes past 80 MPH stayed in it a little in 3rd then let off.

Next step will be to get the nitrous working so I can stall up the stock converter and make some power before the turbo spools.

Next time I take the car out I'll try to get a video of the tack and speedo while I do some pulls and try to get a data log. My laptop was fighting me this morning so I said screw it.
