vid of me pullin' the front tires

here ya go!

had such a bad case of bump steer that i had to let off and jump on the brakes to get it to quit. good shot of 02NBMFormula's car too, his car was strollin' on that pass. but a good shot of me pullin' the fronts non-the-less.

Looks good. Too bad you had to let off. I wish my car would do that...

Re: vid of me pullin' the front tires

t-brake may not help all that much, depending. my car gets pretty much the same 60's footbraking or on the transbrake. well, at least it did with the old converter.... i have not tried my new one yet.

Re: vid of me pullin' the front tires

i don't want the tbrake so i can get any better 60', but rather so i can trip the beams, hit the button, pedal to the floor, all before the lights come on. pro-tree is so much harder when you're trying to foot brake. my problem was that i kept pushing through the lights when i tried to load the converter, then i'd get an aweful light cause i had to get re-situated.
