The wheel spin is stupid in this car with the stock tires. I'll need some better rubber and lower mount. Also need to get a better control of this clutch and the launch.

Some pics of trdtoy and my gutting attempts. And some front shots.

The bushings and sts didn't make a whole lot of difference. I couldn't have shifted any faster honestly. We absolutely saw the advantage of auto vs a 6 spd. The launch was the worst part for me. Even with the track prepped as good as it was, the tires and lack of lower mount was my worst evil. The weight savings I am sure helped immensely. We probably shaved close to 200 lbs. If I can eliminate the wheel spin, I'll be low 14s all days and close the gap.....

We took everything off at the track. Before we left, we put it all back on.

My A/T was hitting low 14s with roughly same mods. 2400rpm launch. I am going to the track today hoping they are handing out slips and not just doing fun runs. it will be the first time i really opened my new Rally up. curios as to what you were launching at Elite? i think the first run ill go with 3200 rpms (stock tires) and then the next ill try 3800 then just play with it from there.

I tried a few different launches. 2500, 3000, 2000, feathering the clutch out, dropping the clutch........they all resulted in spinning the tires. Letting out gradually was looking good and then when I let all the out, it started spinning. I really think it's the tires. Hopefully soon I get some better tires. But in the mean time, I have a guy at work that is going to let me try his 16" slicks from his SC300.
