time for a road trip.

 

But that would be cheating. I'm nearing 400 miles.

 

The break in period is the worst... I babied the car for 1200 miles after I dropped in a new ITR trans, ACT HDSS clutch, and a Fidanza 7.5 LB flywheel. The wait was well worth it though

 

I am now at 515 miles and still have not tried it out. I'm waiting for an safe opportunity. Maybe on a 3 lane going into 2. You know when it is 3 on one side and then merges into 2 once you cross over the intersection. That is always a pinch point that a little extra acceleration could come in handy on. We'll see, I'll let you all know if and when I had to get on it for some reason.

 

Well I punched it on the way home. I pretty much said fuck it, now is as good a time as any. I waited until I was a about 2 miles from the house, where there is a decent stretch of road right before El Toro Rd. eventually becomes Santiago Canyon Rd.

Anyways, all I have to say is SHIT, I never seen my car climb upwards of 8k so quickly like it did today. When I hit 3rd it literally felt like the car lurched forward, I then slowed down as I got the feel of what I have been waiting to discover.

A good investment. I know a lighter flywheel does not add HP but it sure felt like it.

 

ricer mentality :db:

 

Whats the weight of a stock flywheel in a 99 GSR?

 

What's so ricer about that? I know the physics of a lighter flywheel and how the power is applied through a lighter flywheel. I know HP is not gained, however the car picked up quicker and gave the "impression" that power was gained.

Maybe I'm getting you wrong, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. However, if not, it seems like your taking a stab at me and that shit just isn't cool and isn't gonna fly.

 

chill. i was just poking fun.

most ricers equate throttle response with hp. that's why i said that.
