I really do want a glide just the car drives me to and from the airport once a month for work it's a 2 hour drive at 110kph that's the only time the car ever gets driven really :( if there was a safe reliable way to manage it I really don't want to lose my overdrive :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to keep the car as street friendly as possible... if there is such a thing as a 500kw friendly street car lol I work away from home and only back for a week a month sometimes even less. unfortunately im not going to get to as many race meets as I want to :( as you can tell im quite new to the whole auto transmission thing... when we played with nissan motors there was 1 box that bolted to everything and it was bulletproof lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a street car then build the Btr right and don't go into 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
