New to Racing Forum
Hey, been checking out this forum for a couple months and thought I'd introduce myself. Just wondered what you thought of the set up.

I stuck the viper in there because stock it's rated to withstand at least 500 lb/ft. Plus I wanted a brand new trans, didnt want to rebuild. I got the trans from these guys --> www.ddperformance.com

Re: New to Racing Forum

Yeah, converted to the six speed from a TH-400 automatic transmission so had to cut a hole in the trans tunnel and fab up a shifter. It came with a shifter but it went straight up and when I put it into first my knuckles would hit the dash. Cost way too much, but was able to use the stock drive shaft. So that was a plus.

pix would be helpful. Oh and another thing about these forums buddy, if u dislike imports don't go an start a mishaps between anybody. There have been alot of newbs out at this forum that seem kool when the join, but soon start causing trouble. Just a fair warning, i'm prettys ure you are reading the other threads as well, but just giving a heads up.Don't want a new guy that seems pretty good to get banned so fast.

Re: New to Racing Forum
Haven't tried it at the track yet. I raced my friend with a 02 civic ex with exhaust, intake, headers and only came frome behind him at a stop light to pass him up before I had the manual. Then he did the fly by after I had let up at eighty. At that point I was about 2-3 cars ahead of him. I wasn't really pushing it though.
