Great job- Rich |
Thank you Rich. Your car, and many others were a great inspiration for me here. That's what makes this site killer. PM sent :

OBK, go here and click on the technical specs tab:

Third one down is the close ratio gear set. 2.66 first makes for a nice launch vs the 2.97. I'm running a Nitto NT05 335/30x19 tire which is 27.1" tall IIRC. 3.73 should be perfect, although 6th becomes a tall highway gear (i.e. 80 mph at about 1800 - 2000 rpms).

When Rob posted that leak I almost turned off my phone off. It looked bad from the photos and I didn't want to know. Thank God it was minor.
So heres to you Buddy  Congrats and thanks for sharing your world. Its a fun place to be. |
Gaetano, thank you but it's not my world it's ours. The fun we have is all a part of the great group of people we've been fortunate enough to meet in this hobby. It's not just that we all share the same addiction, really some special people (like you and the others) I would be proud to call friends even if we didn't have cars in common. 2014's gonna be a great time
Oh that leak. Man I could've avoided it if I wasn't in such a rush to drive it. Thank god a shock didn''t fall off
