Title: Getting the S/E 177 ready for Phoenix
Post by: jyeager on April 01, 2014, 06:29:14 PM: Been getting the 177 ready for the phoenix race next weekend. Thought i would share some of the upgrades.

The first thing we changed was the shifter. Its now on air. It goes up and down by a toggle switch on the steering wheel.

I made a block off plate for the old hole that the shifter used.

The second thing we added was a 2 stage timer from B1 Racing. It's activated by a WOT switch, then it controls the nitrous and the up on the diverter. They can be tuned to thousands of a second.
