[mikemounlio]

I get it tomorrow about this time! Gonna be a long 24 hours. Good thing i have my wifes car to work on in the mean time.

Really tho the car is about getting it now. I have so much money tied up in all my projects but they are all mid swing. I need a pick me up!

Oh my god man im sorry but you got ripped hard if that's a stock trans and brakes car. That will not help you get your car together at all.

I will be putting my parts onto it! i will at some point put my g series into it. I paid to have the car NOW! I could have waited and finished mine and saved the cash but at the end of the day im happy and thats what matters. Ill make the car my own and dont see getting rid of it anytime soon. Hell i have 2 b6t in the garage now. several turbos lots of parts.

Having a good clean running b6t 1 month before race time is cool with me. I have time to finish the car the right way and learn how to handle it a bit.

sure ill baby it for the most part but happy is happy man!

History with me, too. Danny let me drive it last year, my only experience with a turbo and what an eye opener. Not enough to make me want one, but WOW!

Wait how much did you pay?

I paid his asking price ! In my defense tho it gives me the blueprints on how to finish my car. Plus it gives me a nice fun little car to have now. Guys i have been in my garage all day and night over the last couple months. Im getting down in spirit! I need a change. SO his asking price is ok with me. Good clean car no rust motor swap done turn key and dropped off. 4300$ im ok with it.

Also, a huge tip for any turbo engine (well, any drive by cable system) roll on the throttle smoothly. Mike, your a sport bike guy, so you probably already know what I mean. Stabbing the throttle will not provide the result you want. Smoothly rolling it on will give you maximum TQ and reduce the effects of turbo lag. Also, being throttle conscious is important in a high hp, light FWD car. That gas pedal is what is going to save your ass coming out of turns. Lift or brake and you'll spin, throttle out like you do a bike.

Nice! Thanks for the help. I have a lot to learn about racing cars. Im good on bikes but this is my 1st car to race. I will transfer my suspension from stress relief over to lucifer! You suspension and the tires on it

Stick with the stick. The auto is an F series.
Tips for autocross: find a gear and stay in it. Shifting feels fast, but it's not. Your better off lugging the car in turns anyway. With that much TQ on tap you'll never have to shift it. With that much tire under the car you may never have to slow down either. Lol

No such thing as an "auto e"

You'll have to change a LOT to put your G series trans in it. I'd just swap in another 5 speed E series if you blow it up. The b6t is much easier on trannies than a BP because of the harmonic properties of the engine. That tranny held up to Danny, and I've seen him drive. Lol.
In order to put a G series in you'll have to re do your entire air box/battery/radiator setup. That stuff fits in there well right now. I say just keep building your other car and enjoy this one as is.

That is the plan for now! At some point i will bring the car to you to have you do the core support mod, move the radiator and redo the battery tray and box. Thats a while down the road tho. For now i will enjoy the car!


Any tips on how to drive this car in the autox with the e-series in it? Im lucky i nthe fact that i have 2 eseries in the driveway right now.


Would an auto e or manual e be best to replace it if i need to?
