  1. Yup. And still running the single cam motor.
  2. My license plate says something about SR20.
  3. Yeah, I'm wondering if you have a seperate issue from the clutch thing. The grinding isn't typical of the clutch pedal woes.
  4. Thanks Casey! I'll have to look into the drill mod. I'm not sure what size masters these come with stock, but for my swap I needed the .75" bore Wilwood master. Dont know how much difference that makes lol.
  5. By the way, don't do what he suggests in that article for swapping the clutch fluid. It takes ENTIRELY WAY TOO LONG!! Just grab an air bleeder from Harbor freight ($20?) and suck the new fluid thru.
  6. Clutch pedal woes. It's a very common problem. The wet boiling point for DOT3 and even DOT4 is way too low. Most people are running either DOT4 Super (aka DOT5), or a synthetic DOT fluid. ::WARNING:: If you choose to run the synthetic stuff, which has a much higher wet boiling point, you CANNOT mix it with any of the previous DOT fluids (DOT3, DOT4, DOT4 Super). It will turn to a gel. Flush the lines and suck the new synthetic stuff thru. It's much more expensive, at like $12 for 8oz. I think. IIRC, the problem is that the lines/fluid gets heated up too quick, then cools quickly, leaving water in the lines, which does not help the action of the slave cylinder. The design of the slave also lets dust in the line, which if not cleaned, will break down the seals of the slave over time. It's recommended to change the fluid weekly or before "spirited driving." Usually the problem only comes up on fast, high RPM shifts. I can drive my car for weeks shifting regular, or even flooring every gear, but shifting easy at high rpms, and no issues. But if I try to shift fast at high rpms, it's a no go. You'll also notice that the clutch pedal will be sluggish, have a non-existant action, get stuck down, or be very very hard to depress. All symptoms of this problem. Here's the article. There's another link to the actual article in there. http://forum.grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=4791&pagenumber=&4791-Boiled-crappy-factory-clutch-fluid_=
  7. Oh so trying to help people is illegal? Guess I didn't read the troll rules close enough.
  8. I dont know if it's something like I have a problem with, and a lot of other T56 owners, but the clutch fluid gets too hot and it won't pull the slave back quick enough. AKA, the clutch pedal woes. When you couldn't get it in any gear, did the clutch pedal feel like shit? It commonly shows it face on high rpm fast shifts.
  9. Buzz's car looks hawt. Funny to see a Caddy squat like that lol.
  10. Phil, did you hear my car coming and pull off the road?? :bangbang: I kid, I kid. What happened? I heard a little grinding that second run.
  11. If ya see a white Nissan 240 with a black roof, go talk to that guy. I hear he's down.
  12. So everyone's at HD around midnight? I don't get off till then but I've got the 240 with me and I wannaaaaa gooooo somewhereeeee. C'mon Jones....make fun of my status update too....come at me..... :bangbang:
  13. Poor police training, yes. Or scared of using their power for fear of being punished. Video would have been over at 4:08 if it were me. Lol. Come at me with a knife, get a few rounds of hot lead at you.
  14. Great build!! Is it typical to have that small of a HP gain going from the 350 to the 427? But as stated earlier, 1 7/8" headers will for sure bump that up given the cubes. That and of course the TB/intake mani, but yeah, that's a major price tag upgrading both of those. Another question, when all this was on the LS1, what cam were you running, and was it a stock bottom end? I'm a little new to the LSX world, and just trying to learn what I can! Thanks!
  15. Oh yeah, meant to ask...why do you need to leave it in reverse? How does it kill the battery?
  16. The Mexico thing is only funny to those who get it. Lol. Duh.
  17. Meaning I will actually race......in Mexico. Where it's legal....of course...
  18. I don't have much, but I'm down for whatever this summer.
  19. That's awesome!! Still some time left in that with that trap speed!
  20. Not sure how it went down, but for next time, explain in detail what's happening, other than "there's two people fighting outside." Tell them that this big dude has a girl in a headlock and is punching her head and chesticles. And that you heard the girl yell, "someone call the cops," and that it's IN PROGRESS. Also, about the weekends, there is a ton more CPD officers on duty on the weekends (Thurs, Fri, Sat) than there is on Sunday night. Or, they were all involved in something already lol.
