That time was with a 2.4 60, hitting the limiter in 2nd and crossing the line bouncing off the limiter in 4th. I ran 2 2.0 60's, but both times I missed third. The good news is with 6 speed is I did 6 runs lauching between 4000 and 6000 rpm, sometimes leaving the line with all 4 wheels spinning and nothing broke, a feat that the 5 speed would not have managed. Just some points to note (and only some will get this), with the vf34, the car was 80mph at half track and trapped 100, so it put on 20mph in the deep end. With the fancy 20g 5 speed and tune number one it was 81 at half track and 105 through the traps. Finally, with the last tune and 6 speed it was 76mph at half track and 103 on the limiter (so prolly would have been 105+ but 103 is the number on the slip) which by my maths is 27mph in the deep.
With the six speed, coil overs and new bushes it is amazing to drive through the hills now. Never in the wrong gear, and can exit 2nd gear corners with wheels spinning. Good times.
Missing 3rd is the very reason I got the Kartboy pitch stop mount and the STI Group N transmission mount. Do it....
Well i hope that helps cause i had trouble grabbing third on the strip too!!! which transmission mount is it bruce and how much are they?
