i learned on this run that @ 1/4 fuel level, under hard left drifts i suck air and kinda stall until the fuel gets back in the tank or whatever and she has power again

here i guess i had been missing it but i found i hadn't been spraying my nitrous at all but just to enter the first drift, so i decided to shut the **** off completely and remove the tanks, the rest is all motor, also still dealing with the sloshy gas issue's on left drifts

I saw your car in the pits yesterday but didn't get to meet you or see you run. Nice work for an auto!

yea deffenatly a plus about the auto was that i had somthing to hold on too! lol
but were looking at getting the dif welded this next week or so. i found a shop that said they would do it for $150 i dont know if thats a good price or not.

i also wanna find me anouther set of rims that i can get cheap tires for too.
i had to barrow a pair from triple c for the event. i think a pair of 15's would be great so i can spin them better.

i do want a 5spd but it seems like SO much work to swap to one. or maybe im wrong. how hard is it? and about how much? anyone know these answers?

Also i would like to figure out a sloution to the gas bull**** cuz the race fuel was $6.86 a gallon, and i still had 1/4 tank when it was stalling out on left hand drifts. has anyone else had this issue?

ok first off. im not sure how hard it is to do a swap sincei never done it. ask around get quotes, im sure a tranny n parts would be around 500ish is a good price for labor im guessing 500-700 for labor

price for a welded diff is around 150 if u take the diff out yourself which isnt bad but make sure they weld the crap put of it so welds dont break on u

best of luck bro

I don't drift but when I am turning very hard with a quarter tank or less it will cut out like that, especially if I flick the tail out at the end. I believe it only happened on left hand turns as well when I think back.

Rob did you get any footage of my Sc3 on saturday. My gro pro was set for pictures all day so i got basically nothing and a bunch of my buddies 240 sitting in the staging line.
So basically I didnt get hardly anything. Hopefully my old man can send me a video or pics. I was so busy all day i didnt even really take any pictures
