Well it was supposed to be a pressure source I could use for something. Except I made a mistake and drilled the blockoff plate at the wrong spot. I needed to drill it about an inch higher, near where the small holes in the gasket would be.

nice build btw!
Thanks.

Yes. I have broken stock trans mounts before. I'm still glad I got them but again the poly mounts do increase interior rattles.

also..what size are your rear tires?
225's. yeah. I need to get bigger wheels but obviously that costs money. I don't think you understand how bad the wheelspin is right now. in cold weather with 1/4 throttle in 2nd gear it will get sideways just driving down the road. The car is very dangerous in turns.

I can't imagine trying to drive my car around with 225 in rear, and i'm pretty sure your engine produces more power than mine.

Video time! A friend of mine wanted me to hit it in 3rd real quick so he could take a video on his phone. This is a 70-100mph pull in, um, Mexico. I top out 3rd at about 95mph, shift into 4th, then hit the brakes.

Oh, and I got new tires. They are Dunlop DZ-101's still at 225/45/17 all the way around. They really aren't the greatest tires but they are much better than dry rotting Sumitomos from 7 years ago. Surprisingly the grip is pretty good once they warm up, considering what I paid. I'm not spinning in 2nd anymore and steering feel is much improved. I wanted to get new wheels and bigger tires but the price of tires has gone up due to inflation and other macroeconomic factors, so I'm going to use the money I saved on something else.

I really liked your last video! I always laugh when trying a powerful car... The more powerful, the more I laugh.
