Hey Josh, I had to give the guys a chance. :lol: The Tko 600 isn't the smoothest shifting trans I've ever had my hand on. I'm calling you out, get your butt down this way and let's find out who's got the top dog. :unibrow: Drag, Road Race, Autocross, best total time wins. Why aren't you running any of the events down the street from you?

Vegas...
I don't get to the events because im too busy traveling... and what not.
Although..... I do get to the freeway on race nights... and know how to power shift my Tranzilla.... and know how to pull the front wheels off the ground an inch oe 2 in second gear. Also... know how to brake boost... and turn the little (boost)dial if someone is pulling out on me...lol.

I will admit though... outside of playing a little on off ramps.... i haven't spent time at the auto cross. So unfortunately...(but good for you)... you will probably get me through the cones. However.... top speed, drag racing... and roll racing... you will have some STOUT competition. :unibrow:

My car will be in So Cal for good starting in June. We can hook up and play with these suckers again after then. Can't wait to get the gals back together!!:cheers:

Ya, I understand that man. I like the road racing better. Autocross is fun but to me it's just a compromise. I like speed like you. I'll be making at least one more trip to Cali this year. Let's do it. :cheers:

careful with the friendly competition comments, next thing you know you'll be belittling people because they don't drive their cars as hard as you choose too :_paranoid

Send me a PM and we can link up for a track day or a cruise or whatever. I'm in Silver Lake just above downtown and always down to cause havoc.

Feel like doing Buttonwillow or The Roval?

Did you ever get the rear pads on?
 
Going to Motor State and thinking about running the AX6 in the rear and the XP10's in front

Vegas69 05-07-2010 06:17 AM

Nope, I've been busy. The xp10's still make some noise here and there. They don't squeak, I'd call it a groan. They do stop great though. I plan to swap my master cylinder to the 1" bore and do the pads at that time. Not sure when I'll get around to it. The way I see it, they aren't going to do me much good until I can get some fluid volume or a floating set up back there. There is an auto cross at the end of the month but we're closing on our new house so it's doubtful I'll make it.

Todd, saw those last two videos posted, that engine just screams man. Pretty freakin' sweet.

Vegas69 05-07-2010 11:03 PM

Corey, the engine is ****ing insane.:thumbsup:

Have I told you how much I love my car lately....:unibrow: Went out for a much needed blast tonight. I just turned over 4,000 miles and the car is sorted out pretty damn decent. Great power, great ride, great handling, great tunes, sounds great, drivability is decent. Stopped at a gas station and had a mini car show. Had 7 guys asking questions and drooling. I made a serious impression on 3 kids that looked about 18-20. The one kid says, " I never though I'd see a car that I wouldn't change a thing" I'd have to say it's one of my favorite compliments yet.

There are few things I'll eventually change.
Better headlights
1" bore master cylinder(It's in the garage)
Play with the pinion angle a little more(Running out pretty damn smooth now at high speed)
Charge the AC!

It's getting close to tweaked to my idea of perfection.:thumbsup:
