do you think that we should get rid of both? We were for sure going to get rid of the accumulator, I was thinking about leaving the restrictor though. I think both are going to slow clutch release. I'd take both out as you can't afford it slipping through 3rd gear. Keep in mind this is going to make launching off the clutch touchier. Gut feeling says your flywheel or PP is heat warped or glazed. Quicker engagement should keep some of the heat out, and allow you to run full passes. You could always add a tilton flow control valve to make launching easier and more consistent. That's what I did.

Well, I'm 90% ready for the weekend. I didn't want to post anything until it was official, but it's at my house, loaded on the trailer, so I'll post it now, I'll be running Patrick's Galant as a back up vehicle. (big thanks!) I'm meeting up w/ a buddy tomorrow afternoon to cruise on down, and get pit spots next to each other. (We have to arrive together) So I'll be there at about 5:00 tomorrow night, and all of Friday/ Saturday, and planning on returning sometime Sunday morning. The only thing I need to do yet besides pack the motor home, is pick up and load the golf cart. If anyone I haven't met yet is planning on going this weekend, feel free to stop by. -AJ

Aaron needs a back up vehicle, stupid transmission. How true!! My hopes of running in the Pinks event came to a screeching halt tonight. After installing the new clutch line and actually feeling like it was going to hold the power on the track.. my 3rd gear bearing took a shit. Or so we think. Either way its not drivable in 3rd gear anymore. So I'll just be a spectator now. A kick in the pants or a slap in the face.. that car never stops disappointing me. So now i have to start looking at transmission options, and this weekend is out of the question. I have no money and no time. I gotta figure out if its even possible to have it on the road before the shootout now. fucking car... i wanted to drive it off a bridge tonight.

That sucks Aaron, sorry to hear about your bad luck. I may be able to help ya w/ a trans though.... I have a buddy w/ a mildly built 2g awd trans that's just sitting in the car doing no good. I'll ask him about it when I talk to him next. He's the kid that road with you to the shootout last year. Sold the motor, and now the car just sits in storage

That would be great man, let me know. I'm not even going to try and be ready for this weekend for a lot of reasons, but i still need to get it back on the road for the shootout.
So when you talk to him, find out whats built on it, and how much he wants. I would really appreciate it.

I'm not in the mood to swap trannys over night.. but i will likely need to do it very soon so I can have it ready for the drive to the shootout. The shitty part, this was the only real racing event i was doing all year. I'm not racing at the shootout, just going to dyno and have some fun.

Hmmm. My car is ready to rock. I just painted the cage,floor,trunk area green. To "try" to match the outside. The car looks 20x better. I welded in a new seat mount setup so the thing is off the floor now. It sits way more comfortable for me . It's a 1" in 1/2' back ,1/4 lower,1/4in more upright.
Aaron how tall are you? ;D I'm going to be out of town most of the day but if you and TJ wanted you guys could come down and see if you could/wanted to drive it.
Give me a call today.
