well got the clutch done, got damn what a PITA that was...i would not want to do it again...well everything is on now, although i have a small problem, nothing tranny/engine related...but when i got over bumps it makes a weird noise and feeling, same when i star moving in first gear from a stop...i think something maybe be loose...gunna check it out tommorow...prob a loose bolt somewhere, or something, but it's def coming from the front end...around the wheel area..dont knwo wtf it is but sounds like something is going to come apart

axle? are you getting a vibration when you go from a stop then intermittently throughout the powerband?

Jn2

iTrader: (1)

once i start moving i never feel it again, only during hard turning, over bumps, or starting to move...so ima lift it up tommorow and take a look, re tighten everything

WellSWell I found my problem was a loose cradle bolts, driver back side...tightened tup, s'all good now...bleed the clutch a few more times. Car feels great, now to continu the break in, I put 100miles on it in 1 day...shouldn't take long :p

when i was breakin in my engine/clutch i drove the **** out of it. went to the track and back a few times, drove every chance i could

On a stock iron flywheel, the clutch will be broken in by 100 miles. Iron wears very quickly.

BlackCobalt707

iTrader: (5)

so how much 1/4 mile times can we expect?

Jn2

iTrader: (1)

you can expect as many 1/4 mile runs as i can put in on a day...going to the lonestar bash and running all day long once the track opens...as far as times, idk, im still taking it easy so idk know how to launch with this new clutch, with a slipping clutch and all season tires i ran 14.5@98mph...im hoping to atleast get into the 13's with a new clutch and my bridgestone potenza re-01r's

BlackCobalt707

iTrader: (5)
