A Few 13BT Videos

Here are a few quick vids of my 13BT GSL, still breaking in the new clutch so nothing crazy, but I figured it would be good inspiration for all those in the middle of turbo swaps.

-1/2 throttle run, shifting around 4-5000rpm through 2nd and 3rd. The camera is taped to a cardboard box (ghetto?) so I look back to make sure it hasn't fallen off:

-Outside, just cruising by the camera in 3rd:

-A few revs from outside of the car:

-Another 1/2 throttle run, much like the 1st one. And yes, it does chirp 4th gear:

-3rd to 4th at about 5000rpm, then I ran out of tape:

I'll try and get some flat-out runs for you guys once I get a few more miles on the clutch and some better tires. Cheers.

Thanks Carl. Yeah I definitely couldn't pass up the deal David was offering, who is a really cool guy by the way. You read my mind on the 15" mesh, thats next on the list now that the clutch is sorted. I want to see if I can fit some 225's in the back, or at least some 205 drag radials. Right now, just rolling onto the throttle in 2nd causes massive wheel spin

I'm using an ACT SS Disk and Heavy Duty PP, not sure what kind of power its making but it's no where near 500rwhp. For that kind of power I'd look for either a twin-plate (Ogura is great), or like an ACT 6 or 4 puck with their Xtreme pressure plate.

225's fit back there with no issue, just minor rubbing on heavy bumps.
