That's all I can think of... simple bolt-ons, really.

Who knew that buying a Lotus would lead to such an inferiority complex..

I'm staying away from Leawood!

Awesome results David!

robains · 04-10-2009, 06:52 PM

Excellent!! I'm wanting a TVS more and more. Great results!

You need to work on your 60' -- hehe

No VHT on the street... no shallow staging

I can consistently hit 1.7's... that would land me in the 11.6 range (on Dynolicious anyway)...

Look out GTR's - Not!

robains · 04-11-2009, 08:11 AM

You drag slut!

Can't wait to see you out on the track you mad man. Be sure to wave at Phil as you pass him -- doooh! Unless of course Phil's in his 500 HP TR4.

What does TVS sound like compared to MP-62?

darkSol · 04-18-2009, 04:48 AM

It does NOT have the M62 "weeeeeee" sound - it's closer to a jet engine high pitch whistle - when you can hear it over the exhaust that is

turbophil · 04-18-2009, 07:03 AM

Ya, it's very quiet.... It's basically inaudible when you're on it... You can hear that hi pitch whistle Dark was talking about at low to part throttle, but with load you're back to what the engine sounds like... Kind of the opposite of the M62s

Eyelise · 04-18-2009, 08:13 AM

Dark,

What do you think of the ACTSS clutch? Is it driveable?

I assume you mean the ACT XTSS extreme pressure plate vs. the HDSS heavy duty unit.

I like it a lot - it has the same physical resistance that the gas pedal (2005) has. It requires about twice the effort over stock. If you've ever driven any manual Volkswagen then you'll feel right at home.

Very easy to drive with.

Oh I reiterate... the combination of these 5 things:

- poly engine mount inserts
- the "Stan-Mod" reinforcing of the shifter assembly
- the ACT XTSS clutch
- the Fidanza flywheel
- the LETSLA shifter kit: stock left-right movement, 1-setting shorter forward-back

makes this car a dream to drive. It feels 5x more solid than a stock car ever did. Very easy to put the power down aggresively...

Only one post required for my TVS trackday.

Sebing Florida 80 degrees.

My car ran perfect! Fast fast and more fast.

robains · 04-18-2009, 09:36 PM

Can't believe it's cooler in Florida now than CA - 85 F here. Congrats Jim, pics? Video?

It was 90 during the week. We got lucky with a mild day on Saturday.
I'm working on some video.

Nice Jim

Is that a stock M3? Seems like he has something extra in there

I don't think it was stock. Had a Dinan ?? sticker on the back.

I was running a 7900 redline and I suck at driving.

jim-clayton · 04-19-2009, 02:26 PM

Here's another. The yellow GT3 is a fast driver. Just following my friend's
Audio TT. I'm not trying to pass anyone. You can't swing a dead cat without
hitting a GT3 at Sebring.

Very Nice Jim! I'm loving the verbal queues while driving

Little 'ol GT3s don't do much to you on the straights anymore

How fast do you get going on the long straight away?

Data logger shows 131 gps mph

That yellow GT3 is not stock. GT3's and Z06 gain a few car lengths on that long
straight. Not thirty car lengths like before. The front straight is similar length.
