Trakcar - Yes you still need to use the clutch and match revs; but its super fast and you'll never have to worry about missing a shift or the dreaded 5th - 2nd, which apparently happed to a turbo and Gt3 a couple of weeks ago in Daytona. Gavin did not install it, Sebastein from Mach Motorsports in Hollywood did; he is the local dealer and very knowledgable about the install. It costs about 7k plus 1k to install. If you can find a used one and they do come around from time to time they go far about 4 k plus 1k to install. Mine was used. If you are instrested, I know Sebastain has one more used one with very little hours on it; it was on his RS that he is selling. Let me know and I can put you in touch with him.

 

Thanks, yes that is the benefit of the sequential, no money shifts!
My brother is a very good driver, but had brain fade one day and blew his engine.

I have Sebastiens phone number, thanks but I buried my wallet for the next few months at least ;-)

 

trakcar - I really some of the mods you've done to your rs. I'm not sure what you call them, but the carbon fiber lip you added to the side of the front bumper that i have seen on the 4.0, where did you buy them and how much were they if you dont mind me asking. Also is there a noticeable difference? in downforce and handling?

 

You mean the dive plains?They are availbale at Suncoast parts.
You do have to paint them as the come in GT Silver. I think about $500+ paint, but I bough them and all my other stuff from Orbit installed.

Together with the Gurney Flap and CUP wing it all helps a bit depending on the track.

I only have that, plus front colling ducts and the LSD. The LSD is a must have and makes a bigger difference then the aero.

 

that is awesome.

 

Wow BIGAl thanks for posting that vid. I enjoyed watching. The shifter looks great. Very effective, I really want to try that out. You found yours used eh? That's a good find.

please post more vids. I cant wait to get thru this winter and get back to track time.

 

Love it!

 

Gotta say Big Al...., I've seen alot of Homestead video and your first turn after the main straight at 120 is cup car speed... very fast!

 

Jtqauint - thanks man, I didn't even notice until u mentioned it. I had to go back and look at the video and traqmate...lol. I do love turn 1, you can carry lots of speed and lots of run off which I've used before in my 08 turbo.

 

ahha cool vids, Crazy speed in that turn. Very quick indeed. Id love to try to follow you thru there. thanks for the PM bigAL. I must have watched these vids like 30 times now. some great driving.
