nah, it's annoying
cant get your foot anywhere near the floor in first, second, third or 4th.
although it's fun giving 2nd & 3rd a quick squirt on epping road, just enough to break traction for half a second

yeah xfader cold days/nights rule  It's not bad at all losing traction on a straight in a fwd
i was driving in this arvo's rain and i went far left lane for a while to see if my home made scoop would scoop up any water into the airbox..which reminds me i haven't actually checked the airbox to see if it did! Plus I just finished making enlarged piping from the airbox to the throttle body, and amazingly I can actually feel a difference!?

Rain is fun. But not when you're driving a turbo RWD with thin rear tyres after a hard day at work and you're buggered...
I really don't miss the days of 5.5" mags in 195 tyres...

Hey Bugman, It sounds like you might have a problem with the pedal on the right. Maybe you should invest in some lighter shoes.
I don't seem to have any problems with wet roads. I guess thoes extra couple of kW make a bigger difference than I thought.

Good weather? Good weather? What do you mean?
The last week in Perth has been over 35 and the last 3 days have gone 40, 41, 42...whats good about that?
Man, I'd kill for some cold weather right now.

funnily enough I had to bring a bit of a lump of a machine home from work today, weighs about 60kg's.. put it in the spare wheel well. I think that weight did help some. still managed to break traction at 130.

Yeah I am trying to get the weight distribution more like a Porsche. With that chunky box in the back it must be getting close.
I must admit though it does get a bit wild on a wet day in second, breaking loose at about 4k. Third seems to track a bit straighter . First in the wet, well lets just say 1st in the dry is fun

good stuff..my gf used to live right behind deno's and i got caught out once by driving into a foot high puddle in that left lane  ..plus the streets behind deno's diner can actually get flooded when it's extremely high tide..w/out any rain! Every now and then I had to park on the sidewalk  Luckily no damage tho.
