It may not shift....

But it hooks!
Started to creep forward at 5k with the clutch all the way in (per the usual) So this was a 4k launch on slicks. This means no boost, no power, not love on the launch.

Right click save as please.

Waiting for a supposed frontal shot in the "wheels up" position.

As of now, I am so sick of this shifting issue I am ready to set the car on fire.

I was at the shootout, saw a few of your runs. What happened on the run you lost the belt?

Ah- I let my buddy drive it. He helped toss the trans in a few times one night I was working on my clutch issues, so he eared a drive. He SO VIOLENTLY wheel hopp'd the car, it tossed the belt. It was sure that he was going to leave the rear end at the 330 mark since he just STAYED IN IT the whole hop session!

Nothing bad happen though, it was only at 220 degress when he shut it down. I tossed the belt back on-went to eat with everyone-then drove home.

Well sir, that is awesome! haha wierd swap for an FC, but it looks like it rips. I used to have a 91 TSI before i got into RX7's. It was pretty quick, i just got sick of breaking things. took me to 12.4's though in the process for $1800 total, so i guess i cant complain...
