Plan is for a fully manualised T350 later on.


Why are you choosing a Turbo 350 ?... I know they can withstand some punishment and are meant to have less power losses than a Turbo 400 / 700 - as a mate of mine had a manualised T 350 behind a tunnel ramed sb chev in his HK monaro. The downside however, is you loose out by not having the overdrive 4th of the Turbo 700... this is most noticable if you also have a low 4.11 diff ratio when you're on the highway stuck reving in 3rd. Also I was reading the other day that it isn't hard to manually activate the 4th gear lockup via a switch so you can stop slipping in an out of overdrive near the shift point by turning it off for when you really need 4th. Just my 2c.

SUSPECT - I dont understand why someone would buy a N/A VL Exec :confused: I wanted Phoenix really as majority are atlas, plus this one was in too good a condition to pass up. Also with it being auto, all the manual ones I looked at were rooted........jumping outta gear, warn clutches, warn throw out forks, etc. Plan is for a fully manualised T350 later on.

pffft....you'll need them buddy... just make sure you can totally pwn a VLCT or TT zx300 up to 80 first... or you be sadly disappointed if you think you can rip a L67 outa tha hole.

Competition is heating up... LOL... I might have to take off my towball !!! :yeah:

Suspect im not even going to comment. This is why I hate VLT's. They make ALL VL drivers think they can run sub 12's.
As for the T350 car wont be a daily by that stage so dont care what its revving at, T350 is cheap to make bulletproff.
