i dont know wtf is happening, my car used to be pretty fast.

then my converter got blocked and broke into peices (so i changed it, and have a little exhaust leak; not much at all) my clutch started slipping so i changed everything(oem) except master/slave.

right after i changed the clutch, i went to the gas station and when i was leaving i just tapped the gas a lil and it chirped going round a turn. so i dont believe the clutch is slipping (i didnt however adjust the pedal, i dont know if i have to but i will check its play distance and adjust it according to the fsm)

it just feels like the air filter is really dirty but its actually really clean. i just dont know. i used to chirp going into second but now its a struggle to pass some cars on the h/w. and taking off aggressivly = impossible (first gear it great i guess but after that it just gets slower and slower)

ABOUT THE VIDS: the fast rev drop is just the rev limiter hooked up to the clutch switch. and im really really sorry about the ****ty vid quality i was too hungry to use anything but my phone. also really to slow consistant acceleration on small streets

the new runs are from today. (already rolling in second: both of them)http://s52.photobucket.com/alb...1.flvh ... lb...0.flv

this old run was late last year. (0-???mph)http://s52.photobucket.com/alb...6.flv

what i plan to do today:check the vac hoses for cracksfix my small exhaust leakbleed slave cylinderadjust clutch pedal
