But you'll be waiting for what? I'll have already crossed it before you...

DavidM

While you two duke it out i'll be reading my time slip and sipping a cold one wondering what took you two so long. HEHE. Oh and with P zeros. At least at the next outing.

SO I finished the install of the TRI-AX and let me tell you this mod is a royal PITA!!! If you plan on doing this get ready for some frustration. Very tight confines under there and to make matters worse the new shifter is much beefier than the POS stocker si it makes for lots of swearing and knuckle banging. But after all is said and done you cant believe the difference in the shortness of the throws. I would almost say that it cut the throw in half. Much firmer, solid and the third gear centering spring is the champ!

do u have to be a certain age to join the club? i'm 17 haha

DavidM

I guess at least old enough to drive????

cobra4548

Age will not be a factor. I agree with Dave, if you are old enough to drive then you can be a member.

In knowing your age, it might stand to reason why Will said he would chrage you 1000 for buying and installing gears. Sometimes car guys think they can overcharge someone young. I had it happen to me when I was your age and driving my 1967 mustang.

2006RedfireGT

yea that's gay i hate when people try to take advantage of young people that think they don't know what's going on.

cobra4548

Aren't you in school right now?? Did you get Paul's PM?

2006RedfireGT

no we are on spring break this week. and no i haven't checked it yet i will now.

2006RedfireGT

yes i got it. i'm ordering the gears today or tomorrow then gonna give benji a call. soo do u guys go down to the drags alot??

cobra4548

We don't go out every week, that would be foolish and stupid. Racing can tear your car up. Some of us drive ours daily so dragging it every week is bad. We will be out as a club on Friday, March 30 for Test and Tune.

2006RedfireGT

yea. i haven't been down there yet. i drive mine everyday to school and weekends and such. March 30 for test and tune where at and what time?

cobra4548

At the drag strip at 6pm when they open.

DavidM

Chris, Tulsa Raceway Park is located just off of highway 169 Between Pine and 36th st. North. 6pm on the 30th. Hope to see you there! $15 to race $10 to watch. If you plan on racing make sure to review the rules if it's your first time. Check their website for info or just ask here we can help with what you will need to know.

How's the shifter in daily driving Dave?

cobra4548

I think your hypothesis on my rear springs is correct. I think I am sitting at a slight rearward angle and my springs are already loaded up. When I go to launch I try to load springs that are already loaded. Paul and I will be changing the fronts out hopefully before March 30 so I can launch properly.

cobra4548

Our pages sure are alot longer without the long signatures, especially the one I had.

DavidM

I love it. Soooooooo much better than stock. Smooth and very short throw. I really cant believe the difference in the throw. I swear it's like half the throw of the stock one.

DavidM

Have you asked anyone else about the spring theory? I think that it might make sense but the only way to know for sure is to change the front. I guess you'll know soon enough.

cobra4548

No I haven't asked anyone. Just done some reading on the issue and it makes sense.

Is the Tri-Ax very loud? I have heard some of the aftermarket shifters are loud. I am considering the Pro 5.0 myself soon. I want a slightly tighter shifter than what the adaptor affords.

DavidM

It dosen't make any extra noise other than you can hear the positive engagement on the shift. It reminds me of the old Hurst.. When you engage the gear you get a very slight click type sound. I am partial to the sound. If you have a passenger they can really tell you have something special under the shift boot.
