If I cannot find a 2G in good shape with a ceiling of $5K, I will save up enough for my third EVO before I spend nearly $8K for a so-called "vintage" 2G that some guys have had the nerve to tell me as if I am a moron or something.

Yeah that was my NEW at the time RS LSD. Cracked like an egg. If you notice these days the high hp/large turbo guys (gt whatevers) are anti-lagging at about 7k on the line just to get off of it lol.

I blip the throttle three times while the tree drops and make a quick release of the clutch at about 4K-4.5K with the GSX and it never fails,--I cut repeatable 1.8's--with a full tank of e85 lol. I'll stick with it for now . Shorter wheelbase, lighter, etc.

I will set my takeoff limiter to 7K on the evo and maybe make a run or two after practicing off the track. I build 25PSI at 6K as it sits so we will see. The exedy HD is hard to slip at the line! I did finish setting the NLTS with an 800 rpm drop and it's amazing. I have to stop myself from NLTS's onto an onramp lol. It's almost required with a large garrett-style turbo as the boost recovery is horrible with a stock compression 2.0 liter.

I hope the weather is good on Friday!

I never knew about the anti-lagging. I thought those guys just had upgraded drivetrain parts galore. I always wondered about that and now I have my answer.

I remember when I first had NLTS added, I felt like I was really driving a race car and every time I did it right I just smiled all over. I had a 500 RPM drop that took getting some used to.

I will be unpacking boxes today and hopefully I can finish to have a free weekend (at least Friday night).

Save up for an Evo as it is the only car that will keep you interested. My first autox is on the 27th. Well it will be a practice for me. I'm going to do already one a month. So hurry up and buy something Levar!
