so a couple more quicky driving vids. i am trying desparately to get the VSS issue sorted out, but i think i have no luck with this at this time. so no boost by gear for me. can do manual launch control, though. doubt i will bother with it though....

and first impression of a twin disc? will take some getting used to. remember i have no alignment yet, and trying to take it easy. also do not have charge pipe on or boost control solenoid wired in. nor any of the WG plumbing done.

i am taking it easy right now, not trying to pound it..... but that clutch is a grippy bitch though.... and its feeling like it is gonna be a fokking blast to run it. hope it weighs ~2300 or less.... but whatever it is it is....

plus, i am sicker than a dog. feels like someone hit me full on in the face, with a damned shovel or something.

oh yes, i went and got the onboard video setup from the rabbit, along with helmet and jacket. and a shift light. so its getting there.

I like how you had to enter the car by moving the crap in the garage out of the way and then snaking yourself in the car

Car looks really good in that GM color, reminds me of a color called Spice Red on the 06 GTO's

Cars looking good.

Also your twin will get better the more you drive it. I know mine got way better the more I drove it. Also in the DSM world we are using a accumulator off a 2g eclipse gsx. Makes the twin go from being a on/off switch to a almost normal feeling clutch. I know tilton sells restrictors that help with the on/off feel.

so the weigh-in. heavier than i had hoped. forgot that AWIC water weighs a good portion. the truck scale goes in 50 lb increments i guess.

so it is between 2500-2550 without me, and a solid 2750 with me. i am ~230 so ~2500-ish lbs for the car, all fluids full.

i added a couple bars to the cage as well, but it still is much lighter than it started.

and man does it look ready to go.
