    Re: Launch technique /traction tricks

    Has anyone done this? If so, can you give some details on how? Sounds like a great idea, using some sort of switches connected to my auto trans.

    My new project Shadow had a good bit of oil in the intercooler lines, so while I have it all apart, I figured I'd rebuild the turbo. Found the front carbon seal in six pieces, not a surprise.

    Re: Short Studs?

    Good to know, I feel safer now. It'd be a pain in the arse to change them all.

    Re: Anaerobic with gaskets?
