Finally went to the track did pretty good for my first time ran a 14.25 at 99mph.Ive only been driving standard for 2 months now and the car is completely stock.

 

Not bad at all.

 

Yeah the car runs really strong for having 167,000 miles lol.

 

I plan on getting some mods just not sure where to start.

 

Gears, tune, and exhaust are a good place to start.

 

full length subframes, alot of rear suspension work, and tires.

 

Haha, apparently you are catching on to the mannual tranny faster than I am. I'm on about 2 months as well. I get around perfectly fine now, but I'm still a little rough getting into 1st and 2nd gear sometimes.

 

get a short throw shifter. MGW is a bit pricey, but its probably the best you can get. makes finding all gears easy, and its fully adjustable. the stock rubbery shifter is TERRIBLE. with the MGW i've rarely missed a gear.

 

I have no trouble finding the gears, I'm just having a bit of trouble with getting a feel for the clutch still. Usually when my fiance is in the car with me being a distraction and panicking every time I drive the car more aggressively than a grandma. haha. I also have a bit of trouble when I switch to a different shoe. It's crazy how much a different shoe can change the feel of the clutch. Last time I wore dress shoes was just unbearable. haha

 

ah. yea, i hear ya on that. just be glad we have cable's and not hydraulics... i hate the feel of a hydraulic clutch. there's not as much, if any feedback.

i switch between combat boots and sneakers, so i know how that feels. even driven without shoes and wow is that terrible lol. cant wait to see how my new spec 2+ feels with cams tho, bet its gunna be fun trying to drive that around.

i still recommend a short throw, makes getting it into gear and keeping in there much much easier, almost mindless. no worries about missing gears = more concentration for... other things..
