Took the car out for the first time today to do some WOT pulls with the new trans. This car has never shifter quicker or flawlessly like it does now. No hesitation going into gear what so ever. Did about 4 pulls with it and even tho there were a little bit of nerves, still didnt miss a gear. I almost think it will be impossible to miss a gear with this thing now. The black top roads were still a little cold so she was a handful while shifting. Cant wait for the track to open to try this out. I will only be able to get 1/8th mile times until the local track gets repaired in May. Im hoping for mid 7s in the 1/8th

you have to make it pivot where the camera sits or it will point at the roof of the car because of the angle of our seats. I will have to get pics sometime. I know Papasmurf, M.P., and blown4vGT have my mounts. Maybe pm them and see if they have pics
That's on video i would like to see stal

If you do, let us know how the video quality is with it. I've been considering getting one, but I don't know anyone that has one yet.

that is a noisy transmission indeed. and i would definitely recommend the go pro hero. a bunch of guys on my R6 forum use them all the time and the quality is absolutely outstanding. i'm getting one for this summer actually. and wit the hero you have a few filming options. 1080p at 30fps (most computers can't edit this though and you won't notice a difference unless you're on a 40" or larger TV), 720p at 60fps (this one is particularly amazing especially in well lit areas. the quality of fast moving scenes is like you're actually there. this is what most of the guys use), and 720p at 30fps (ideal for low light conditions).
if you look hard enough you can find the Hero for like $215 which is a steal for a waterproof, practically indestructible, HD camera with a bunch of different mounts. if you're going to mount it to the outside of your car make sure to use the sticky 3m mounts. i've heard horror stories of the suction cup mounts failing at speeds over 100mph. even though the camera probably survived it's nowhere to be found. i'll be posting videos with it once i get it and run at the strip so don't worry.

Put a clutch stop in to prevent over clutching while shifting. I got lucky, I didnt have to fabricate anything at all. I removed the rubber bump stop from the pedal and the holes that the rubber went through were 5/16" so a short 5/16" bolt and a couple nuts to lock it in place. I adjusted it until the car just stopped moving while in gear trying to start it with the pedal down, then i put 2 more turns in it. Any adjustements needed from here will be taken care of at the firewall adjuster.

Well, looks like we will both be trying out a new trans this year
I just installed a nice low mileage 4r70w that I have been working on in my spare time. It went in the car last Saturday, and hopefully I will be getting a few runs in either this week or next week to see where sit
