Its used to help preload your drive train before you launch the car. Its the same idea as holding the brake and the gas in a auto car. So your slipping the clutch but not going anywhere, when your on the staging brake.
hey one more thing bro... how is the back end of the car holding up? i.e. rear end axles etc? have u had and issues with those items? and what do u think is the reason why u went from 75 to 15 passes out the tranny?
Shit happens!! The c clip that holds the gears on the intermediate shaft broke off, I think it was a freak thing. Problem is I should be running a dog box but I cant make 6K fall out of the sky!! Im lookin to do the dogbox trans next year, we will see.

Yea man i hear ya! I'm just curious on how consistent you can be with a 5 speed. I have a car that's real close to the same setup as your car and was going to be doing alot of street racing with the car. With that said I would have money on the line and just wanted to know how the tranny shifts with a power level over 600h.p. such as yourself. I was wondering if it was possible to run the stock tranny with a fresh rebuild or is it a must have for the dog box? So whats actually breaking after the 15 passes or so?

With a FP manifold?
, could be just what you needDevin, so it is a T3 with an adapter plate to fit the fp manifold? I was planning on doing this with an hx35, but doesn't it sit everything lower, thus o2 would not fit dp, turbo will sit too low, etc? Keep reading negatives on adapter plates. How did you overcome this obstacle?
Did anyone else see the video where the cars collided??
I believe that crash was from last season. The car got fixed and a cage put it in also if I remember correctly. This is old news.
Sport compacts dont take impacts well. Like the vid of the two ricers racing around the parking lot. That little honda caved the #### in from that little fender bender.
