My progress...Part Deux! - Page 2

**Halon** · 08-22-2005

Still running the 1g intake mani?

**JET** · 08-22-2005

Until I get my first batch done. I have a bunch of exhausts to do before then though!

T_T sooo beautiful cant wait till i get my dsm. keep up the work :P

Well, I think it will be running tonight. I got the clutch hooked up last night, turbo on, alt., belts, motor mounts, starter, etc. I am really surprised at how stiff the twin disk clutch is. I had always heard it was near stock pedal pressure, but it feels like my 2600 did! I am not exactly cranked about that.

Jakey · 08-24-2005

What brand of twin disk?

**JET** · 08-24-2005

It is a Devo unit (quarter master).

**JET** · 08-25-2005

Alright we pulled off the tranny and took the clutch back off. Everything looked fine at first. Then Nash made a statement about seeing the rivets on the back disk. I started to look at it a little bit closer and that was the problem. The guy from Devo even said they can't go on backwards, but that fixed it. The need to provide SOMETHING with the clutch for instuctions or a diagram. All I got was a clutch in a box. I would expect a bit more when you pay over a grand for it!! Anyway, good progress will be made the rest of the night and I should hear a rumble tomorrow if all goes well.

Nice catch... Good thing you didnt run it like that!

SlowWhite · 08-26-2005

Yes, Nice find. And good thing you caught it. Hope all goes well and look forward to seeing what she'll run at the track

still a go on saturday?

**JET** · 08-26-2005

I am going to have to pass on Sat. I think. The car will be running, but I won't have really any time for tuning. I am going to tune on Sat. and either go to the sport compact day on Sun or something next weekend. I can't find much going on next weekend though, just Cedar Falls having night drags on Sat. I am not sure if that would be worth it for 5 hours of racing.

Pushit2.0 · 08-26-2005

Night race at Cedar Falls is a toss up, drive for 8 hours to race for 5. I would say its worth the trip if you know the car is all good to go.

**JET** · 08-26-2005

Yeah, I feel the same way. They race until midnight, so I would get back at like 4am

SlowWhite · 08-26-2005

Can you spend the night?

Pushit2.0 · 08-26-2005

Yes if you pay for the two days.

**JET** · 08-26-2005

What do you do all day Sat while you are waiting for the night drags to start? They don't have any day racing next weekend, just night drags. That seems really odd.

niterydr · 08-26-2005

Grill out on saturday afternoon? Fix whatever you broke friday night?

sleepydsm · 08-26-2005

Wow, the car is lookin' good JET! You need a new pretty oil cap tho, and what do you use to paint your manifold?

**JET** · 08-26-2005

Thanks sleepy! I don't remember what the stuff is called, but it is a cold plating process, not actual paint. Basically it adheres a layer of aluminum on the piece being painted. It is not real tough and clear coat kills the shine, so it isn't something I use a ton.

FattyBoomBatty · 08-27-2005

electro plating.
