Widebody TurboFB First Drive (Video)

Here's a small clip of my first drive in the FB. I did'nt drive her too hard cause I'm still messing with the TPS. For now the car will stay at 7lbs untill I rebuild the Turbonetics TO4 and install the Microtech.

Don't laugh at my FMIC!!

It's from a Cosmo, and I bought it for $50. It's small but thick

Nice, but on the first run did you hit the camera guy? How long till we see you break those 12 inch tires loose?

My friend sucked with the camera! The first pass I made He missed the car completely, So i did'nt even post it.

I'll be breaking loose as soon as I tune the car with a new ECU.

I'll have some more footage pretty soon. A soon as we have our next local meet.

Nice, but on the first run did you hit the camera guy?
Dude I almost killed myself!!

There was a huge ditch on the road, so I tried to switch over to the left lane. As soon as I hit the ditch, the rear of the car went airborn and to the right. Thank god the I have new tires. Gripped the road once I landed.
