actually when i think bout it, it was just the throwout bearing. but when i had the clutch n fly on my other motor it had problems where i had my z32 trans on and the flywheel bolts snapped. so im just gonna put a new one in for good measures.

im puttin in a stage 4 competition clutch/flywheel in. i had a stage 2 on my old car and i drove/drifted on it all year and never gave me problems. so in cc i trust haha.

nice nice sounds good. Is their gonna be a big difference of how the clutch feels going from the stage 2 to 4? More harsh or aggressive?

actually it kinda threw me off. my stage 2 would always stay firm and feel stiff even after it was broken in. when i drove on my stage 4 it felt the same until it broke in, once the stage 4 is broken in it actually feels close to a stock clutch as weird as it sounds. i asked my buddy and he said his was the same way on his stage 4. i just need it to hold up haha.

should last me a while. my buddy drove/drifted on his for 2 years and still held up for him. i beat the crap outta mine so i have faith in it haha.

i think itll last really long since i use the ebrake more often when i drift then back in the day clutch kick bombing lol.

Why can't people use vented hoods and full-on electric fans instead of those nasty bumperless cars? not having the bumper core is also kind of dumb for a car that is doing intense drifting that can go off spinning.I don't think modding in an aluminum bumper from 350Z or G35 would be that trouble some. Also there are plenty of bumpers with good airflow design.

i have electric fans

cars get super hott super quick when u do 5 laps of rev limiter around track.

but uh yeh if u dirt drop on that track u can say to ur bumper real quick.

if i know i can link the track with ease ill rock my bumper. and i rock it even if its ****d up, idc.

bumper support i feel ya but im too lazy haha. and we usually never plan on crashing.

been a while like always.

i recently was at the dyno with my new ams gt33 turbo.

and like always dyno days dont go as planned for me.

ended up having fuel problems along with my coolant temp sensor poopin on me.

i also need to get an oil restrictor for the turbo. it caught fire on the last run lol.

pics:



new setup





heres a vid on the dyno

http://vids.myspace.com/index....11880

it was really iffy, managed to put down 310hp at 290tq at 10psi.

the curve was soooo stupid. jump up and down like popcorn.

newho, got 750's gonna get the aem injector module, got all the other lil stuff and hopefully hit the dyno once again. n hope the third times a charm to get my magic numbers haha.

oh and i just picked up a cleannnn coupe from a good guy up north.



got it as a shell wit steelies. just had rear quarter panel dent, and the wheel tub was open. frames pretty decent, no serious rust newhere. and also came this awesome nardi wheel.



just gonna clean it up real nice n drop my sr in it.

Then i got excited like a little school girl when you said VIDEO....

And i was happy when i watched the video, it sounds very nice. I can not wait till i am boosted.

Yep yep... Then i saw you found a clean coupe. I can not find any clean coupes in my area it kinda sucks. Because i would really like to let my current daily driver rest. And get a coupe daily. So i was saw but i am happy for you hahaha great find!

Anyways all and all, glad to see your thread alive again!

One Love,
