A bunch of people have been asking me for video/audio of my car in action, so I went out with Josh tonight and fucked around.
Here is the result of my brief and halfhearted effort to appease the masses.

For what its worth I will be switching to urethane engine and transmission bushings once I get down to Texas. Even with brand new OE units it can be troublesome to nail 2nd when you are in a hurry. Worse yet is downshifting while there is a good deal of lateral load on the drivetrain. In the first clip its pretty obvious that I was unable to grab 2nd until letting up which kinda made the spinning into 2nd shorter lived then desired. Normally I have no problem hitting 60 still spinning and gripping into 3rd.
Also launching (with the intend of a quick takeoff) with the solid unsprung clutch is still taking some practice to get right. Anything less then 1800rpm and it wants to just stall outright. Anything over 2k and it just wants to spin. Whats shown in the second clip is a decent launch at best, but still pretty quick. Josh has a hard time doing anything resembling holding the camera still.
Anyways...
