My Winter Upgrades

Wow. You should get a timing chain, they are baller and never fail like that. What prevented you from just sliding it back on?

[Halon]

Look closely at the second picture. You will see that the bolt for the tensioner pulley is backed halfway out. And that is allowing the pulley to move around, which was why the belt was sliding off.

Had to replace that bolt with a new one as that bolt backed out, and the threads got all fucked up on it.

Dang, your tensioner is loose! lucky guy.

Wow nice catch. Best of luck at the track man.

[Halon]

I'm on the right :)

Wow! Nice trap speed! Very impressive time/speed for your first time ever to the strip!

t'was a great day at the track to have seen your virginity being popped. Too bad that clutch didn't like launches..a 10 MIGHT have been had.

[Kracka]

What clutch are you running?

[Halon]

Running a Fidanza 4.3. Overall seems to hold my power very well, but it was pretty apparent today that it hates launching. 3 of my 6 runs I had to cut short because of the clutch slipping. I don't put all the blame on the clutch, as I'm sure I'm not launching perfectly and slipping it a little too much at the launch. But on the last two passes, I felt like I didn't really slip it too much, and still it just wouldn't hold.

So a different clutch may be in the future.

Otherwise, yeah for my first time ever, I am extremely happy with those times. I know in time, with some more experience and seat time, I should be able to knock a few tenths off and be into the 10's.

Maybe a cage will have to be in my future also...
