USAA Bank ??

I'm not a military...

Re: You guys see this story over on HAMB ?
Could the low rear end gearing have over stressed the trans gears?
I would think that third gear would have the most load on it though but maybe not since he was pulling a loaded trailer coupled...

Re: shifter for t5 in a 50 f1
Pete,
lets see your short throw adapter.
Did you make it or buy it?
I believe the concept is the higher the hinge point the shorter the throws. Is that what you did?

Re: shifter for t5 in a 50 f1
I modified the original shifter. I cut off the ball and then heated and bent it to where I want it. Then just welded it to an aftermarket shifter that mounts to the top of T5. Put a little home made...

Re: A Drive Down Wilshire Blvd.
The real problem in this clip is the lack of parking spots, the abundance of parking meters and the overly aggressive meter maids handing out summons. Oh,, did anyone notice the red light camera too?

A roadster and a Ferrari engine?
I was surfing the net the other day and saw a video of a 32 ( I think) being built with an early 70's Ferrari engine already installed on the frame.
Anyone know the story behind that car?
