Damn man, what tires and size are you running?!
Keep the videos coming! I want to see you hook in 2nd gear with no tire spinning! Then I will not doubt this hardened gear thing!

A note on stock vs straight cut gears. The forces are totally differant between the two. Stock will put pressure on the thrust surfaces, straight cut will tend to push away from each other.

Does the car grip in 2nd gear during summer? I am about to send out some wheels to be widened to 10 inch (16x10 +67 when done), then I plan to run the Toyo Proxes TQ with 275/45/16 :-) This will guarantee no traction issues.
