Ok fine, that's pretty good.
Reminds me of a grocery store I use to work in years ago. We would always get birds in there. One day my co-worker says to a customer "Yeah, it's a regular United Kingdom in here." Obviously he meant to say "Wild Kingdom".

manual valve body= cool fun trans .. auto stick = a big joke that makes uneducated buyers excited about a auto trans(computer on auto stick limits what you can do unlike a manual valve body).. 6 speed auto is for better mpg not shifting... oh and nice car scr8p glad to see people buying american
Coelacanth wrote:Good points about the auto-stick...does an auto-stick EXIST that really lets you shift in a performance manner like a standard? The computer overrides anything you'd want it to do that's outside of what it considers "safe". My Torrent has that too but I've never even used it. I bought a GTech Performance Meter Pro (link to good review below, NIB on eBay for $55 shipped) to do some 0-60 performance tests after weighing the vehicle & me at a scale. My best average (the manual says to average the top 3 of 5 runs) was 6.92 seconds, the best of that average was 6.88 seconds. The Torrent GXP was rated at having sub-7-second 0-60's so it must've been pretty accurate. Point being, I doubt I could get faster runs fiddling with the auto-stick. I just did a bit of a brakestand to build up the revs and launched.
I was actually most surprised that a 2008 vehicle that was lady-driven for 4 years before I bought it was still able to exceed the "rated" performance figures.
the way the world of cars is now i think every company plays it safe and The computer overrides anything you'd want it to do that's outside of what it considers "safe".
Long time lurker, first time posting. Anyway here's my ride. It started off as a completely red dyed car. Been slowly converting it to a more traditional looking one. Not sure if I got the pics correctly posted, but here we go. Pc110009.jpg rc10.jpg

Thanks for the compliments guys. How's the baby MOmo?
I think that color combo on the car really sets it off. If you have the time, I'd say go for it.
So far I've put about 3 hours in de-anodizing and another 4-5 in sanding because of the deep...
I bought this rc10 today and wanted to see what people think. The one question I had was if the slipper nut is tightened all the way down, and it still slips, what’s the problem? Any help is great.

Ah, of course! I'd bet someone used the wrong grease. Ball diff's require a special grease which is actually not an ordinary lubricant. I think maybe this happens often.
Anyway, it's good to learn that you've gotten the problem sorted out.

Watch out I'm flying this starting Sunday. Got recalled to Republic airlines, they bought Midwest airlines that I was flying for and furloughed back in 2008.
