yeah so ive had my turbo on about 3 months now or so, in that time ive killed my tranny (litterally, i have another one in) ive killed 2 radiators, and my idle is lumpy occationally (im afraid to do a vaccuum test knowing that 3 months ago i was perfect a solid like 23hg)
all of that to say while i do drive it hard i try to minimize the total damage inflicted every trip out in my car, i spin my tires as little as possible (when its wet first is no good, when its dry i have to take it easy turning right in 1st) i dont slam gears (very often ) and i NEVER dump the clutch... not only that i NEVER try to hit second when i burn out not that i do
and all of that to say i was on my way home from work today and stopped at a light, it was a double right hand turn lane. the light turned green and there was a fairly frisky old man next to me (just watching him drive the past block) so i got on it... first gear broke loose like nothing so i went ahead and did it for the first time... i hit second on dry pavement... my tires (hancook hrIIs) dont really smoke that much and they dont scream but they were smoking hardcore and i left a nice dark LONG mark (yes i said mark, as in not 2 but i was turning when i got on it what do you expect)... *forgive me transmission for i know not what i do to your internals*
