    M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

    Videos will be up hopefully this evening. No one is willing to record yet. They have been to busy clinching butt cheeks

    Accelerating onto the interstate under 3/4 throttle and boost near 12psi the car looses traction and the rearend wants to slide out at 60+mph. So much fun

            Well I recorded and should have clenched my cheeks so I would not have had to change my shorts.

            I followed Matt back to his shop yesterday after the BBQ (another fine event btw) and I can't recall ever seeing a car pull away so quickly even at high speed. I actually thought my car had stopped and almost got out to check....and I was still going 80 LOL

            I was good through the twisties but in the straight always it was downright silly. I have never driven my car that hard and when we were done it (my car) was like an old hound dog that had been chasing sticks for an hour....panting, with its tongue hanging out but def ready for more

            What impressed me even more though was the sense that this monster is very streetable which is even better now that he has a minty set of OE floor mats :)

            Yes, it was a great day. !!

                I would offer you a place to stay but I live in the Mountains which are 3+ hours away from the vintage. Otherwise you would be more than welcome to stay at my place and hangout at my shop.

                Jeff thanks for holding the camera. I cant wait to get this thing tuned correctly and realize the actual potential this set up has. Hopefully next time you ride in it I will be making more boost and have some wider rubber on it.

                        ^ Jeff has never taken a video with his iPhone prior this. Now he is trying to figure out how to post it without going through photo bucket.

                            I actually tried to upload all 153mb of it and had no more luck than Otis so quit picking on the old guy. Lorin why dont you hop in that 911 rocket of yours and zip up to Charlotte and I'll copy it on to an 8 track tape for you. Will probably be faster than me figuring out how to upload it

                            Lets try this

                                ^^ Haha!!

                                I'm only giving you a hard time because i can relate, i have no idea how to upload a video. I do have a reasonable amount of 8 track experience so between the two of us i bet we could make that work.

                                I'm assuming youtube would be the easiest way to do the video ?
