Congrats Paul, the motor is holding fine!!! I'm having the same problem, couldn't hold the car straight. The driver is telling me that my car alignment isn't wright, but I really don't think that is the problem. If you find something and don't mind sharing it please post it in here or PM me.

Thanks and good luck. It is looking good

Those 60's foot are awesome.

Hey Brandon, my friend was at the track when ur car ran, hes like yo that car makin some serious power, he said ur Evo launched like a mustang, pull 3rd gear like a supra lol car was all ova the place. Props for TTX for buildin a sick machine and u for drivin the bleep out of that car. When u get that car goin straight u will see some serious numbers Brandon.

One quick question. Are you marking your tires? Are you spinning the tires on the rims? The only reason i ask i had similar issues the day i went to the track i checked because i was looking at the wall also. Turns out i spun two tires on the rims.

We think we maybe spinning them on the wheels. They are going to get screwed down to be safe.
