lol, yeash, the reer end felt like it lost some grip. lol. i punched it one time, with a bunch of kids at school, i squeeled like for like 5 secconds and everyonbe looked. also, my friend was fallowing me. and someone cut him off. so i turned a left onto a long street. and he hasd to ait. by the time he turned onto the street, i was gone. he wondered if it was even me. damn i love this car dude.

i sense a bit of sacrasm projekteg :P


and kain.. the " coming loose" i'm referring to isnt what you felt probably... you probaly just lost traction.... what i;m talking about is at high speed cornering ( think... over 100mph) the tires dont lose grip... but the *** end of the car actually shifts.... its a weird feeling.. kinda un setteling

I'm not too sure I would be thrilled with the idea of my rear end shifting like that. I've had it happen before, but it wasn't supposed to, and it wasn't too pretty.

nah its not cool....you can actually buy solid metal pieces to replace teh dtss bushings....so the *** of the car doesnt shift... that's what id do... casue i've been in one.. and taking a long sweeper at 120 and having the *** of the car wiggle will definately scare you!

also, do they have a close gear ration beacuse i noticed that i cant put it into 1st when the car is moving
i simply cant
well, when its moving slow ( below 2mph ) i can, but other than that, no. so i just leave it in 2nd sometimes.


i pulled my firs 2 gear squeel today. i mashed 1st, squeeled, and mashed seccond ( verry hard to shift into seccond. i actually have to force it ) and they lit up again. i was happy.

This is normal for any car and it has nothing to do with close gearing. Your syncros are going through hell when you try to downshift into first like that(does first even have a syncro on that car?). Give it some gas before you shift to help the gear catch up. Have you driven a manual before?

yeah. this is the first time i ever really drove a manual. i just got in the car and somehow knew how to drive it. it was cool.

i was reading on a websight that the lower the octane fuel you put in it, the better. but only for an n/a. for a trubo, the octane rule applies. i was just wondering about that befor i actually put lower octane in my car.
