What kind of trick?

[DjGreggieP]

With your foot *FIRMLY* on the brake pedal slowly shift from park to reverse

There should be a 'dead-spot' where you are not in park and not in reverse, won't light up on the dash to say where your at.

Welcome to red-line revving ability.

Its not safe because it could shift into park, which may cause some issues(never had it happen) or shift into reverse at upwards of 6500rpm which I can just assume your transmission may not enjoy that, or whatever is behind you may cause substantial damages to your car

[cdmccul]

So you're saying that the engine ignores the rev limiter in the 'no great land' differently than in park or neutral? Interesting...

[DjGreggieP]

If you watch the 2.7 spitfire video, you will notice before the last rev I sit in the vehicle to do it and it is held longer and slightly louder.

I can make a 'how-to' video on what it looks like.

[cdmccul]

hehehehe, no, I wouldn't do a how-to on that..... the last thing we need is some kid remodeling his parent's garage on our suggestion..

[DjGreggieP]

I plan on getting a video of me having her on the road. Had her chirp into second gear the other night because I was showing off acceleration on the highway lol

[Squilliam]

So..whats it feel like? Cant wait to do mine this spring!

[DjGreggieP]

I have friends scared of it already, and I can attribute all of my squealing tires on my cheap Nexxan Tires. But man does it make people do a double take that an intrepid is squealing through an intersection from the drop of a hat

Will, you will love it, its about 4x as responsive as the 2.7 was. I don't know if it's the gearing or what but under mild acceleration if you let off before shifting it feels like your in low gear, kinda barks back down sort of.

[DjGreggieP]

Sooo....


Since I have the entire wiring harness in the gold car (es model) I was debating ripping out my interior and swapping over to the different wiring to have the auto stick running properly (don't ask, I messed up somewhere and now when I try to upshift I turn cruise on) and I can swap the dash at the same time AND wiring in for ATC from the 300M

I was / am planning on pulling the dash out for a minor mod and my dash currently has cracked pretty bad.

Is this biting off more than I can chew??

[el_charal]

A complete 300m for $458? That's stupid cheap. Do you know WHY it was in the junkyard in the 1st place? It doesn't look wrecked and the engine's good so...

[DjGreggieP]

This is the lower rad support I removed from the 300M

The previous owner hit a section of washout on a grid road at speed. The lower rad support took the brunt of the attack and as almost touching the crank pulley.

And it was a 2000 with 230,000km on it.

[mnitetrain]

IIRC that might be power steering cooler??

[BatCaveTrep]

How is the 300's different from the Trep's?

[DjGreggieP]

If you look at the picture, that is the whole lower rad support.


Well, *finally* fixed my leaking oil issue, and did some maintenance and drained out the gear fluid in the diff for some fresh Royal Purple.

[DjGreggieP]

It would be MTC to ATC and from the looks of things I may hold off on that for now.
