It was good knowing you guys...

lol, I survived.

I actually had zero spins and only one offroad excursion, further extending the massive damage to my rieger lip, which was deemed destroyed before it even reached my hands. :p

Moroso's road course was fun, but the main important part I could not do, which is connect two turns with a main straight away. My gearing/turbo combination would yield no boost when I upshifted to 3rd, and 2nd gear was WAY too short to make up for 1/8th mile of straightaway sideways.

I broke more stuff, which is cool I guess, but the car make it home in one piece (something about a handful can't say).

Now..... to pass out.

which is why bigger motors with no turbos ftw when drifting =p

You need to get that .63 exhaust housing on there and you would be a lot happier. I would recommend getting a legit turbo shortly, they are so much better in spool as well.

I agree. Talking to someone, they even persuaded me to go with a GT2871, just for stupid fast response because I can't spare none with my gearing. I'm sure that even being a T2 turbo, there'd be plenty up top so it wouldnt run out of breath.

But since I have the .63 housing machined already, I might as well do it. But I completely agree. My buddy who tuned my car called me out of the blue and asked when the hell was I going to do the backhousing, and after last night, more than ever, I knew I needed the quick spool.

I would push you more towards a GT30 than a GT28.

[aaron.j]

gt37 would be nice. not as costly as the gt3076r because the gt37 is journal bearing, but has a very similar compressor map as the 3076. if you dont want more than 300rwhp the gt2860rs woudl be titties

This was the horrible part of the event: aside the fact that I ran short of gearing at one specific point of the track, most photographers were positioned on that spot.... so it was either run out of 2nd gear and straighten out, or upshift (while clutch kicking), drop the revs too much because of the 2.93, bog down, and then straighten out.

But alas,

Here's a teaser:

I seem to recall Hammond putting his truck into one of the aforementioned gator filled canals at Moroso on Top Gear.

From what I have seen, that place makes Nelson Ledges look like Spa Francorchamps.

That episode was so funny.

That episode was so funny.

that was so over played. very rarely do you see alligators, and if you did, you would just scare them away. i live 10 mins from Moroso and have a canal in my back yard. Wish i could have made it there last night Erick. i swear ill make the next one. I raced karts and my body was pretty sore.
