100 mph sweepers are fun

coming out of the front gate at my job there is a s cruve sweeper that straightens out into the highway. the last bend in the "s" is pretty long. everyday i try to tap a 100 as i exit the last one. finally yesterday i did it. as i left the gate in third at like 30 mph i downshifted to second and nailed it. plenty of grip and go. just like a racetrack i was taking the inside line, on the last curve i shifted to fourth floored it> 90> 95> 100! and i was still in the turn.

sprints/18s/pirellip7000/kybs/fstb are a sweet combo. very little slip at the limit & i think i could squeezed out another mile an hour or two but i was happy with a 100. the front started to give up a little slip but it felt more like a controlled 4wheel drfit.

i dont know who thinks a modded max cant handle but i think so given its design.

for lower speed turning i need a quaife or i30 tranny bad. the inside wheel just spins when the is no weigth on it.

umm, you don't have to remove ANY bolts to install a RSB. It bolts onto your rear beam axle...very simple install.
