Posted 09/02/06 11:27 AM Share Posted 09/02/06 11:27 AM Hey guys!I'm getting an edit done on my T in a couple of weeks (yes Rob aka Mr Turbo...finally!!! The Prom cruise was a major factor...) and was just seeing how happy you guys are with the edit and what it's like to drive day in day out...Nizpro will be doing my edit and I CAN'T wait... I'm taking the day off work when it gets done so I can fully enjoy my newly edited car I have a manual too, so does the manual drive any different? Will I wreck my clutch in the short term?Is it going to be a tyre fryer? Remember I have 20" tyres to think of... am I going to go broke buying tyres in the short term?Looking forward to the replies...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 09/02/06 11:34 AM Author Share Posted 09/02/06 11:34 AM So I have been saving for it... but I am still going to have to keep on saving for it aswell even after it's done...I have a manual edited T.... its extremely fun to drive.... im about to get my 3rd clutch thoughHow long have you had your car for with the edit?My best mate has a VU SS ute with F1 performance edit, full exhaust (4 hotdogs no mufflers... LOUD and K&N cold air intake making 244rwkw and his car is heaps faster than my car now... before his edit we were door to door at any speed, be it standing start or roll on in any gear... Will I be able to beat him now?Please Please let my car be faster!! There are bragging rights at stake here people!!! Until he get 3.9's... and then I'll need injectors and valve springs... and a gearbox upgrade I'm not a mad bit*h on my car, not a burnout person... don't wanna break it... What does WOT mean? Sorry if it's obvious...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should organise a drive is someone elses with Edit. OF course once you do, then you will want your car at Nizpro the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
