Well went to the track on Thursday... on the bright side I went 4-0 beating: (2) 5.0 hatchs, a STI, a souped up MR2... the bad side is that my clutch really wasn't engaging, haha... I basically floated in the high 12's... I was also tryin to find the sweet spot for my feather launch.. the only good launch I had was a 1.89 with a 4k dump and bog (on in car video)....

Next mod: clutch quadrant... you can see how long it takes me to shift between gears.... would've smacked 11's for sure without the 3 seconds between shifts, lol

I was talking to my roommate in the car with me... I wanted video of my tach and couldn't mount it in my car...

My roommate sometiems calls me catpoop because its a play on casper.. he's a retard.

We won't discuss my times - we'll just say that they weren't good... bad 60's and you can see how long it took for me to shift... my clutch quadrant doesn't open the gear the way it should... Any Terminator guy can vouch for how sucky they are..

That blows! right before my clutch took a sh*t the best I could run was 13.2's! Soon as the clutch was fixed it was high 11's low 12's.

Thanks.. the car was actually running really strong (you can see the tach on the in car), but I know i lost atleast a full second on the shifting... if i could power shift the car on the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifts, i know i'd be in the mid 11's with a decent 60" (and i mean 1.8 60" - we all cant pull 1.6" doodad), lol

Bluebeast... it's horrible i shift to the gear then have to force it in.. it can't be one smooth motion... The one thing I miss about my GT.... that tranny shifts realllllly smooth...

I can totally relate. I'm 6'3 and can still bench press over 350 but it took everything I had to force that clutchinto gear on my upshiftsbefore I had it repaired. I'm really suprised I didn't damage the shifter or the tranny I was yanking on the shifter so hard.[:@]

See it's not even my tranny or the clutch it's my clutch quadrant... $100.00 part but i cant put it in... once that goes in im sure (if i can launch the car right) and it ran like it ran the other night i'd be in the mid 11's... if i had doodads tires maybe low 11's, lol
