dude your gonna learn to shift via experience which will certainly come in time. i mean, your 15 or 16 and this is your first car. you'll get better the more you drive it. a short throw isnt going to instantaneously make your shifts clean.

i drove arbo's X and it is definately different than my 8, but its not so absurdly different that im useless behind the wheel of his car. you'll get it in time

Nice... I would like to get up there for a few runs this year, maybe/hopefully kill my stock clutch so I can justify the expense. When do you anticipate being R2R?

The last thing you need is more power. What you need is experience and respect for the vehicle and others on the road. Your next mod should be this:

You will benefit more from that than anything else you could possibly spend your money on. "...you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box"

im basically waiting on the call from buschur, hopefully in the next couple weeks i can take the car up. all the parts are ordered or on the car already so its simply a matter of dropping in the stage 3 long block, putting in the exedy triple and throwing her on the dyno with a tank full of moonshine.

i cant think about it too much or i start to lose sleep. what are your plans this season? a big snail shell under the hood?

anyway, i saw this red viii parked in the spectators lot (only from the back and like 30 yards away) with jdm bumper, blacked out tails and a PA plate that says HEREVO8. saw this girl with a buschur hoodie get in and drive away. she looked pretty good from where i was standing. anyone know what she's all about???

id probably hold her hand in public, even if she is gross.

THE END

i am not grossssss!!!! haha i was at the shootout, couldnt race my baby tho because it needs a tune & i gotta baby the clutch so yes she was parked, lookin sexy too
shouldve came and said hi!!!!
