not five years;
I bought my car in February 2010, and I believe he wrote his off two months later...

I think 99% of the rust was there when I got the car later that summer.
i did spray down the engine/front suspension shortly after getting it - so that should have neutralized any road salt left on it...

 

so 4.8? hahahah i think five years was close enough dont you? he wrote his off slightly before me. regardless having it just sit around for that length of time will make things difficult. at least they are still good parts, and you took care of the hum. just so you know for sure mine was written off in march 2011. i just checked my papers. he did his in 2010 almost 1 year before me

 

to be honest to make sure im going to go look at the date on my windshield, i cant remember what doctor was what during that time. hahahahah there is about a 1.5 years im missing from my memory hahahaha maybe a couple of decades from when i was a teenager too lol

 

So my clutch is slipping really bad now I'm hoping it's just glazed a bit and will clear up before I head to the dyno. Funny how this happened when I actually started making power and that sucks because my car is so much fun now

 

yep your right jonathan my windshield does say 2011, hahahahah man my memory is absolute crap. it dont matter anyways.

i find the clutch a lil funny kevin, after our conversations about the subject. i am sure you do too. if you need a extra set of hands just let me know. also i will teach you the jedi approach to saving clutches if you wish. lol

 

From my clutch glazing readings I have done I believe it's because I get stuck in stop and go traffic every day which can't be good on my stage 4 clutch slipping it for 30mins a day like that. I'm going to try and take that out of my daily routine I may order a new disc but I'm going to try and miss that traffic and helping you out will be easy to do

 

ok, incase you guys didn't know this I'll share what I learnt today;
According to cross referance at both AutoValue, and Rock Auto, our hubs are supposed to be the same thing for all five bolt (four wheel disc; RPO 'JL9') cars, but at the least the LNF cars use different hubs...
I just pulled a set off of an LE5 car, only to find out that the cv shaft is smaller - so they do not interchange.

 

LNf axles are thicker and have a different spline than lsj's and all the others lol

I could have saved you the hassle of researching

 

I'm thinking about pulling my trans (again) to inspect my clutch and take off any glazing that's on there. All I want is it to last this summer.

 

Mark does the guy you know for machining work Sat?

 

im notr sure. i went to pats driveline

 

I'm thinking get it machined and get them to take off a tiiny bit more on the shoulder to make up for wear and I'll be golden

 

if they can, dont you have a lighten flywheel?

 

Says they need to see if if they can do it they will and no extra charge for taking a bit off of the shoulder I just have to tell them how much. And open until noon on sat so I guess I need to find out when I'm gonna do this

 

Mark no hockey tonight so I can stop by if you're free

 

Kevin, do you have a fidanza flywheel?

If you're popping it out, I'd encourage you to reconsider running it...

If you're doubting me, you should see my Fidanza flywheel...
I'm thankfull that it didn't destroy my transmission when it let go (like they have done to others)...

 

You told me you had problems with yours before. How did it break I've seen Jon's but that was a clutch spring I heard

 

Mine broke after about 18 months of use;
the center hub sheared itself off.

I don't currently have access to my pictures, but from a single quick google search I found these;



mine looks like the first picture.

 

Even if i decided to switch my stock flywheel is in Kelowna

 

Mark are those mounts done?

 

actually we have to wait til tues. i have to bring my wifey to the blood donor clinic tonight. after which i need to drop by jonathans after. i also have jon coming over to give us a hand tomorrow. the mounts will be done for tomorrow morning. so lets just keep with the plan for tomorrow. go home kick your feet up and have a ice cold beer. hahahah

 

I'll prob just go home think about how as soon as I got my car running really good and kinda fast my clutch gave up on life and that'll make me cry a bit

 

Also I don't know my plan yet but tomorrow may be my last time free I need to do my car before I go on vacation

 

My flywheel was a spec aluminum one and it was a pressure plate spring that decided it didn't want to do what it was supposed to do anymore

 

Ya I've seen that at Mark's but that wasn't anything to do with the flywheel
