you might be able to s/c the AT and run the AEM fic. It should definitely put a smile on your face.

Gutted interior, full bolt ons, lightweight wheels and a negligent driving etiquette.

I like that last thing...
that's hilarious!

TheTLProject

Not my best run but I won. Faced off against a stage 2 MazdaSpeed3 and won. Temp/humidity was 80/75 % and as such, my cars power took a hit because of the humidity. 14.5 @ 100mph. The Mazda ran a 15 something. Also threw in a quick highway pull for fun after I left the track. Enjoy.

based on the preview, I thought for sure I was watching a game of chicken with a dumptruck

TheTLProject

LMFAO!!!!! I'm fucking dying

Okay, I can't lie bro...I didn't watch it. But is it safe to assume you won, since you're alive to post? Dude, the drive of that truck was such a PUSSY!!!!

I honestly can't believe you have las bolitas to beat that bitch up on the track with an automatic. I think I might be the pussy.
Not bad though, she sounds raw and uncut. I dig it, man.

TheTLProject

Yeah I won. lol.

Do the 6MT swap. It pulls decently to 100, but that 4th gear is a party crasher on the highway.

TheTLProject, would you mind sharing which harness you purchased for the F/IC?

TheTLProject

Trust me those runs aren't even totally accurate of what this thing can do. Let alone I was turning and it is also hot out.

Boomslang

N1h1l1ty

I recall people having issues with the Boomslang harness for the F/IC and having to have them re-pinned - Did you have to make any modifications to the harness or was it plug and play?

TheTLProject

Plug and play, no issues.

This. Would def be a game changer

TheTLProject

I just don't have the money for it unfortunately.

That's awesome man! Sounds like you have put some serious work into that TL. Glad to see people are so enthusiastic about there TL's

TheTLProject

Thanks. The YouTube channel for all my stuff I upload is https://m.youtube.com/user/Dark04GTS

Yes you do.

TheTLProject

I don't even have 1000. Let alone 6k needed to do the swap

FamilyGuy

At that point you might as well swap the whole car...

TheTLProject

Thats just an obscene amount for the average joe to spend on a manual conversion

Bruce Jenner paid a lot more than that for a tranny swap.

To an average joe - yes, But average joe also pays labor rates. Enthusiasts DIY it, and look for deals. I did a manual swap in my 1994 Camaro years ago. Every shop I talked to told me it was so involved it was gonna be 5K or more and to sell my auto and buy a manual. I waited and found a manual T56 for $400 locally and got a lightweight flywheel and clutch fro $300. $200 in misc. other items and did the swap myself. No worse than a clutch job.

Granted, the TL has some different wiring complexities, but it's still not impossible. I picked up a spare TL trans last year for $200 in case I need it (or I find an auto on the cheap that I want to convert). The deals are out there, you just have to be patient, and ready to jump when they show.

It FINALLY cooled down to a much better air temp outside so I attempted some zero to 60 runs. Finally got legit 0-60 videos done. First run was 5.6 seconds to 60 with 1800 rpm brake torque launch but doing it from the emergency lane and almost swerving into oncoming traffic. Second run was 5.2 (maybe 5.3 almost) seconds to 60 straight shot and then continuing driving to 100 after that. Isn't the fastest it can do but I've never posted legit 0-60 videos so here you go. Winter will bring faster times. Not bad for auto. Windows were down.

Air Temp - 71 degrees
Humidity - 61%
Elevation - 463 feet
Tire Pressure - 34 front/34 rear
Tire Prep - Cruised at moderate speed down flat road for 5 min to warm up tires.

Anyway, here is the video.

Great run! 13.9 is very impressive for the 5AT, especially at that trap speed. With a solid launch and cooler temps, you could easily go mid 13s @ 104....dare I say 105?

TheTLProject

Based on how it has driven today, I am 100% convinced I could pull a 13.5

TheTLProject

I was wrong about my 0-60. It's actually quicker after looking a little closer at a version of the video where it was just that first run. Actually clears 60 in 5.1 seconds. Since I have the movie trimmed exactly at the point of 0mph and 60mph, that was the end result. iMovie shows the true length of videos and I was surprised to see 5.1.

6spd-GERCO

Is this a calibrated version of iMovie? lulz.

I would use the following calculator, it's probably a little more realistic. I punched in your times and got 5.33 seconds.

TheTLProject

Hell I will take 5.3, still decent

TheTLProject

Well the day I pulled that 13.9 it was noticeably slower than the day I recently did a 0-60 video so I'm pretty confident that it was around 5.1. But for the 13.9 yeah it was probably 5.3 or so. The heat was killing me that day
