This can't be good for the environment...j/k considering we hate the stock cats!!! I'm starting to see a pattern here though...

Think it has to do with the highest concentration of modded LSJs w/ 2.5" pulleys in the US it seems like Mine's starting to act normal again even though I know I roasted it Friday night. I was looking at ultrarev.com today. SPEC 3+ and Fidenza Alum. Flywheel = $937 shipped w/ discount... Gotta save up some money quick, but I think this is the route I'm gonna go after driving Wes' car last night.

 

After I snapped my 3rd roll pin in Ohio this past weekend, I had to drive my car back to the harbor in 4th gear. Stop and go traffic none the less, so my clutch is now shot, thanks to my car's awesome luck with roll pins.

 

My hate for clutch installs is right behind my hate for pulley swaps.

 

I'll definitely be at the next clutch install. I'm 0 for 2 at making it to one, and I gotta help cause I know I may be asking for some help in a couple months with mine

 

Yeah, the Spec is awesome. I can't wait to see how it feels once the SD tune is perfected. Stupid Monroeville Saturn keeping my car from runing, lol. I need to put 500 miles on the car before Wed so I can take it to the track and feel better. I will probably just wait 2-3 weeks before I go down a strip.

 

whats soo bad about clutch and pulley swaps?

 

Dave, our cars weren't built that far apart, so it must have been on a bad day or something. Then again, the stuff I''ve had go wrong, you haven't so...... who knows.

BUT, I can't believe that the roll pin was defective 3 times.... there has to be something else going on in there.

Wes... I don't understand... why did SATURN of Monroville have your car?? or keep it from running??

I got a call from my cousin last night on the way home from the Auto-X, adn he commented about a red SS/SC that was taunting him. So, naturally he asked if it was one of you guys ( meaning not YOU literally, but one of us Burgh Balts )... I told him "just becuase it's a SS don't mean we know them. There are alot of them running around now"

Since the topic was the high concentration of ion/cobalts in WPA, I thought that topic-appropriate.

 

I'm getting really good at replacing the roll pins though.....first time it took STAR 2 weeks.....second time it took me and my dad 2 hours.....now i'm down to about a 45 minute install, and that includes dismantling re-installing everything.....lol

 

That sucks about the roll pin again... Looks like we need to find a manufacturer that makes extra hardened bolts for your roll pins and for when we do work in your garage... So you're ready for a new clutch? I know I am, but don't have the $$$ yet.

 

Dan needs his car to perfect the SD tune. So therefore since Saturn Monroeville has his car, its keeping my tune from being teh best.

 

ok... so since I'm so stupid.....

what's the "SD" tune?

Super Duty?

Street Defender?


Super Dependable?

Scooby Doo?

 

Super Duper/Speed Density.

It's teh fast@r - Dyno Proven

 

im thinkin its the "super dan" tune

 

Dan, if I move back to Michigan are you going to help me put in my Spec?????

Or, even better, I'll fly you out to Kansas and you can help out here!!!!!!!

 

lol ya i guess i can help....with beer

 

Of course with beer!!!! I don't think any parts have been put on my car without the help of beer.

 

Don't use teh beer. It slows you down. Also proven, lol.

 

Yea, im seriously considering getting a new clutch, but, then again I do love the smell
