PA RX7 on the Road!!!

So i changed the slave cylinder last night and the rx7 moves now by itself!!! i took it out for a drive with my friend and we figured out some things but got some questions as well. we figured out that the fuel pump leaks gas where the hoses plug into it, we think the hoses need to be tightened or the the threads are stripped or something. we will check that later, and after 10 mins of the driving, right below the stick in the tranny something made a weird sound and goes on and off with makin the sound. the sound changes sometimes, any ideas what it is? and about the clutch, how hard is it to push down your clutch? mines fairly easy to push down, and when i drove my neon then i noticed a difference in how hard it is to push it down compared to the 7, i think i need to re-bleed the clutch, a 2 min task.

the stock rx7 clutch is really light, in the scheme of things. dunno about the dodge, ive only driven a viper, and that clutch sucked

if someone changes the fuel hoses or clamps, that's whats bad, its actually really easy to fix, the gas wont siphon from the tank, so there isnt a huge mess.

oh congrats BTW! driving = good
