Because I don’t have a build thread and videos are just as cool as pics I made a thread. Hate me. Here is my first shakedown in 2 years. Felt awesome to drive this car again. Everything is different and I’ve still got a whole lot to learn now about it. Video credit: [http://www.staticmotion.ca](http://www.staticmotion.ca) and Roel …and death by Bee was almost a possibility at the end. ---

Looks good, it looked like you knew what you were doing. I’ll have to check that out again at home, no sound at work. ---

Thanks Steve, I used to know how to drive this car. It’s much different now, my old habbits need some changing haha. ---

Looks like you need to be a gear higher at all times. You are always at the top of the rev limit with no room to go. The engine makes enough power down lower. Shift up, enter, rev it up and pop the clutch! ---

Shift up, enter, rev it up and pop the clutch! Yea, was definitely running out in 2nd. Need to get used to using 3rd on more technical sections now. By the end of the day I was all 3rd. > [@240sx\_nismo](#): > > gt30 top mount? gt2871r > [@Driftacular](#): > > this “drifting” thing you speak of…looks like fun… i need to try it out… Your SON name would start to make sense then Shawn lol. ---
