Only problem is I'm still waiting on my 18" Niche Essen wheels to mount my drag radials on. I don't really want to go to the track on my Continental DW's when I have brand new M/T drag radials in the garage.

You guys have me determined to do the install myself. I likely won't be installing a Quaife until next season, but I'm going to do it myself when it comes in.

As for the MT's, I couldn't agree more with your logic. My other MT ET Street is supposed to come in Thursday, and hopefully Beechbend (town where the Corvette's were eaten by dirt) will finally be open this Saturday for a few 11 second runs.

If you haven't tried it yet..power drifting with or without the Quaife.. around corners..in a safe or know area..
The extra traction hopefully is amazing around corners, power drift..

Turn ESP off, around a corner, flick it, make it go sideways.. hopefully alot safer then with power only to one wheel..
