Do any beating on it yet? Clutch has to be broke in by now right?

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Well when I picked it up Josh said not to go over 5k because he couldnt tune above that with traction/the new clutch. So when I get a nice day I have to head back to OTTP to finish the tune.

So I stop at the gas station tonight and go to pull up the ebrake.. and no tension.. im gonna pull of the cover tomorrow and see if it needs adjusting....

riceburner

iTrader: (66)

Probably. Either that or ur caliper springs that do the ebrake are shot... Mine were. Cheap fix though after returning my cores i think i spent about seventyfive at autozone for two new calipers.

Thats gotta be tough!

You probably popped a cable out of the little T that sits under the middle counsol.

While we are on this subject, if you pull the ebrake with the cover off so you can see the two cables, is one suppose to go in more than the other? Because mine does

InfraRedline

iTrader: (4)

Not really supposed to, but most do. Ideally they should be even just so there is less chance of it popping out, but it can sway a little either way in order to keep them even. You can adjust it down on the caliper if it bothers you. Just pop the bolt and spring off, then pull the mount off that the cable goes into, and move it to a different spline, and re-assemble.

Well an update guys,
First the car, running great. I still think I have a tiny exhaust leak down near the resonator. Also sometimes it seems to stutter on me and wont accelerate. I just have to restart it and its fine. Bad batch of gas maybe?
Me: Shoulder is doing much better. I have full mobility back and working on the strength now.
Ducati: I am dropping of the fairing to be painted on Friday and picking up my mirror extending brackets. When I get back from Brazil ill be putting it back together!
BEDEEEP BEDEEP thats all folks

I'm pretty jealous you got to feel a ported head with E and TVS before me....

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Alright folks new update, a pretty sad one. I was driving down to the airport yesterday and the car died on me and wouldnt start in Lansing. I had it towed to ZZP and they are going to figure out what is wrong with it. I coudnt miss my flight so I am in Brazil now. Hopefully it will be fixed when I get back. not happy about it all

574

iTrader: (5)

Ouch. Update ASAP

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Yeah... Im not thrilled about it. Ill keep everyone updated.

Car should have went to ZZP from the start..haha

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Im thinking it has something to do with the fueling but im not sure at this point.

microgab

Good luck man! At least it's in good hands

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, ZZP is going to diagnose it Monday and then from there Ill figure it out. I think ill have them dyno it as well so we can see what im putting down/ what the TVS does over the m62 with a ported head

TStone

iTrader: (2)

lame.

Why brazil though? outta curiosity

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

My parents live there now. So I have a place to stay and its hella warmer than michigan. and yes the whole situation is lame.

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

Update: Talked to Tim at ZZP and it turned out the new DW300 fuel pump burned out the fuse box so they replaced it with a ZZP pump and the fuse box. all that and labor set me back 500. Looks like im gonna have to go after Deatschwerks for that pump/cost of what it did to my car. Wish me luck! On a side not im probably going to have them dyno it while its there.
<--- not a happy camper.

At least you know it's fixed, man. Half your troubles are over.

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

True. It was just an unnecessary expense on a pump that was a month and a half old.

ThexGovenor

iTrader: (2)

According to this http://www.deatschwerks.com/images/s...nty_policy.pdf

They may not refund me at all... except send me a new pump that I may be able to sell...
