Knee-deep in my current build
. By my experience, I take it you broke it on a downshift?

Uh, I'm not sure I like the direction this thread is taking 
Series 8 trans is in, along with reinstalling the B&M short shifter. Feels like a million bucks
Next up is replacing my hood release cable (which was nice enough to wait until I got home from DGRRX to break) and an oil change for the upcoming Monticello track day

Mileage means nothing when your making the powerz 
. The first tranny I broke was completely rebuilt with all new parts and it broke after just a few track days. I'm already collecting spares in my garage cause I know I'm going to break a few more this year . Rev matching is helping the my transmissions last a little longer but they will still break eventually.

That GT500 KR rolled up on a pack of us and was rev'ing his engine at each FD he passed.... he definitely wanted some. Well, he got it
The first 'pull' on the curve he had a lot of momentum and i was playing catch up so we were about even. After that he didn't seem to want to go again.
Garrett (G) was riding with me and started yelling to whoop his *** and not let him get away with messing with us
Sooo...... I walked him hard when we made a clean run, and he actually got the jump by a little bit. IIRC we went all of third and fourth gear. I didn't know it at the time, but my third gear was about to BEND
Definitely a fast car for bone stock, if I was on lower boost it would have been a driver's race.
Pulled off the highway and chatted for a bit, the owner was floored by how fast the FD was and even more so when I told him it was an 80 cubic inch engine His wife told me she used to own a 94 R2 and regretted selling it.
Btw, I did a bit of research and the new non-KR versions trap 118, I'm pretty sure these suckers trap around 120 or so.
