$12000. thats what i found out my new 7at transmission and radiator cost when it went out on me 2 saturdays ago. suspected it was the torque converter and luckily got approved through warranty for a new 1 on monday. waited 4 long days and it finally came in friday 1pm and my master tech was able to get it in the car so i could leave for sebring. i spent the whole week feeling like i would not make it. needless to say i was a total mess on the track the whole weekend between a new trans, new coils, new track, etc. no excuses but my head just wasnt in the game.

it was still an amazing weekend with a bunch of old and new friends. got to meet mike bonnani and alan crocket - our head instructors, john "nads" naderi with his running commentary, ryan gates with his sick evo, catesby and will with their quick gt-rs, nero and wes from titan and the list just goes on.

anyway on to the pics, they're pretty random as i just snapped em whenever i remembered/felt like it...

couple sick track shots by brandon - http://www.flickr.com/photos/brandon...lyphotography/

 

looks like it was alot of fun, thanks for sharing

 

nice coverage man...i want to run my car at sebring one day

 

Very nice!!

 

dude, have you looked at your rotors, that must be some cool effect of the heat coming through the picture...wild looking.

Glad to hear you have a cool dealer to hook you up with warranty replacements. Not a lot of dealers would. I guess you will be looking into getting some trans cooling mods now huh.

Thanks for the photos, looks like an awesome turnout.

 

Fun times wish driving out there would be in my budget. I hope #3 won the bikini contest so i get to see her next month. What a hottie.

 

nice shots. thanks for sharing. #3 is definitely the hottest one

 

ya #3, april won.

i think its just the black wheels reflecting light that make them look warpy lol. you can see the horizontal sun light reflection showing the curves in the spokes.

ya its nice to be taken care of. not sure whats next for the car really.
