The ITS cars were killing the N/A trannies on the back straight at pocono.... just winding them out in 5th and burning up the bearings

So, 7-8-9k good to go. Past 10k, shit gets hectic.

10,248 rpms.... I broke a corner seal and bounced the rotors off the plates. Tranny lived

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 11:59 AM

I was high up there, maybe more, maybe less. . The gauge only goes to 8 so it's hard to tell.

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:01 PM

I had a video of me test driving the car open down pipe and burying the needle for seconds. .

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:22 PM

The trans I'm replacing. . Till I can get it rebuilt to put back in is a JDM S5 TII. I'm buying a rebuilt S4 TII to hold me off till I can get the S5 repaired.

Wait, you had an S2 RX8 tranny in your FC and that's what took a shit?

I blew a s2 RX8 trans at the track. Vin and Adler had to come rescue me in Bowling Green on a school night. Didn't get home until after mid night. Good times.

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:27 PM

No, all I've ever had in the FC was NAs and TIIs

rx7 vinnie · 02-15-2017, 10:04 PM

Can't count how many cars I pulled home for this Cracka.^^

That sounds like fun. After I blew my wheels bearings to shit and had to get flatbedded from NJMP to Speed1, than drive with the old man back to CT, than back to NJMP the next day to get my track trailer, than back to Speed1 the following weekend to fix and drive the car home.... I decided to never take the FC to a track day again without trailering.

The old man constantly goes to Watkins Glenn, it's a damn near 5 hour drive. I'm waiting for the day I get the call to trailer his ass home because his Boxster finally shit something
