Sounds and looks great Dave!! I think its time I start cleaning up my interior. Funny what carpet and a dash pad will do for a car.

BTW, who did your carpet?

A few impressions watching the vid...it seems the car overall has got a nice tight quality to it. Trans obviously adds to the race feel BMF already has, and it seems well matched to the motor.

You may soon be personally responsible for a jump in sales for those dawg boys.

Interior came out perfect

Hey not a bad idea. I didn't realize you didn't have an interior til I saw your track video. Ha.

A guy named Rigo did the carpet. He did Mary P's interior as well. Down in San Martin if you are interested. Does nice work.

Thanks Bryce. Trans finally matches the motor I think. Ha.

Those are just NT-01's. 255 front and 315 rear.

It does seem tighter actually, and lighter and more "free" if that makes sense. Lighter clutch, aluminum driveshaft, and more dead weight removed. We'll see how it feels on the track. The street as we all know is no place for sustained power blasts or any real practice.

If you drive your PT car cross-country (and let's be honest, 98% do not) then probably not a good idea for dog box, but if you drive occasionally or shorter trips, I don't see why it cannot work out fine.

Hell, I never even tried to hell-toe before, that was the issue.

Interior is nice and tidy and goes with the theme I think. Thanks

Great! 4th gear at 3500 rpm is right in the cruising sweet spot for this setup.

Sounds awesome Dave--I love the howl/whine it makes--that's like having a Pete Jackson Noisy in your trans--unless that was Rich with 6 pds of tri-tip and two cases of BL in the deleted rear section of the car--both sound similar from what I remember. Very cool.
