So what does this Daniel guy do to the transmission if it is still 100% stock? So, why do people complain so much about breaking the transfer case and all that if you are running consistent 9 second quarter miles on just an aftermarket clutch and halfshafts? Sounds to me like Mitsu made a damn good car and people not knowing how to drive/maintain is what is screwin em up.
I think what's the best thing here is that they're out there running the car on their own- not at some big event... I have yet to see many updates from anyone else. Congrats!!
The transmission in our EVO is 100% bone stock 2003 Mitsubishi parts. The trans was rebuilt but just with stock parts. Transfer case we have, admittedly, been very lucky on and the rear diff. I am sure at this point it is just a matter of time. They have outlasted what we expected with all we here of breakage. They are both stock and have never been apart. The car, I am guessing has an easy 100+ passes on it since we built it. We take this thing to the track constantly. Since the shootout it has been out once and sometimes twice a week. Pretty crazy how well it holds up to this much HP and abuse.
We are leaving the starting line at 7200 rpm on the two step with about 8 psi of boost. Last season it had our GT35R kit on it and ran a best of 10.12 at 141 mph, so from day one it has had high hp and been run hard.
The car is NOT full weight by any means anymore. Tired of playing that game. It is what it is at this point, a race car.
I see no real respect being given to anyone with a full weight car, being street legal or having stock side mirrors with a radio (for example). The only respect that gets passed around is to the fastest car at the end of the day. That's what we are working on but still limiting ourselves on how we do it. We'd like to get the car into the 8's (no kidding, right?) but we want to do it on gasoline only and without the use of nitrous. We might not be the first to get there with that combination but that is what, for some reason, I have decided to restrict myself to............atleast for now.
The car is a good 60' time away from going 8's. The car is also NOT powershifted. Each and every gear change Daniel is COMPLETELY lifting off the gas to make the gear change. That is a pretty big loss of time/power on a turbo this large without the use of nitrous to help respool it.
These are not excuses, just facts, kind of a "We have more in it" statement
