Title: Green Hornet Turbo
Post by: Geoff on July 17, 2003, 12:07:14 PM

Jim has been punishing the Turbo car and looks like the trans may be the week link. Although the trans has some of the best parts you can get it is just a matter of time. Yeaterday marked the first pass with 20psi and something has started to make noise inside the trans when under masive load.

Jim and Gary went for a test drive yesterday and when they came back the pass seat was bent under the roll cage! It took the three of us to bend it back! It makes so much power it scares the hell out of you....well me.

In any event the car will be at Seattle, we don't know how many runs it may make before the trans gives up but be asured it will be a fun ride!
