skills! ohhhh!


lol, on a more serious note, that's what my corolla started doing when the clutch was about to go/ after my girlfriend drove it around for a week. I've heard if someone who slips the clutch a lot drives a car and then a person that knows how to drive a manual correctly drives it that will happen. the clutch disc gets glazed or something. I'm pretty sure it goes away though.

my corollas engine mounts are also gone I think which made it 10 times worse.

 

the clutch is perfectly fine any other time than a dead stop. actually what im hearing is thats exactly what it does for the turbo tranny if the flywheel has come loose some. guess i need to get some new flywheel bolts and replace the ones on there.

 

Up on the top shelf

Sounds like you have one or more of the following:

1) An overheated (blued) flywheel (it has blue "heat spots" from past abuses) (likely)
2) A warped or incorrectly resurfaced flywheel. (Least likely)
3) Your flywheel nuts are backing out or not torqued correctly. (most likely)
4) Oil got on the clutch (meh)
5) Pressure plate is failing (unlikely)

It's easy to check all of that when you do a clutch job.

 

BTW: My wife is pregnant :P

 

 

My Civic has that problem...

If I dump clutch in reverse hard enough, I can hit the intake manifold against the hood.

It's knocked itself outta gear numerous times because the shift bushings and parts inside the transmission are gone too.

 

 

Dude, that civic has so many issues, don't fix them, just keep driving it till it stops going, take the tags and catch a cab home.

 

That's the plan... I just wish something more major will happen...

I've taken to shifting into 1st at 100+ MPH (Without letting the clutch up, duh.) in hopes that I'll melt the input shaft bearing or fragment the clutch disc... No such luck.

Shame too. The engine has 125 PSI on all cylinders and doesn't leak or burn a drop of oil.

That, and I wish fuel were cheaper so I could get it to 300K miles...

If the body were in better shape, I'd try to run it to roll the odometer... Maybe I'll take the odometer and the engine and find another EG body with no drivetrain.

 

welcome to the club. soon you will forget about all your rx7s, cuz you have bigger project to work with. When is due?

 

More importantly, how big of a turbo can you put on a baby? What weight oil do you run through one?

 

This Volvo is about to roll over 300K. I just ordered a wad of parts, but I have to buy some stuff locally. Where did you say you could get that massive discount?

I only have 1 RX7 now :P Due in May

Pee.

 

CarQuest and Olympus Imported Auto Parts for sure 30%

I might be able to weasel a discount outta NAPA and a couple others. Haven't tried though.

 

darn... how?

 

When are you free? Lets rock this AsAP!

 

just dont look forward to the exhaust issues.

 

I walk in with my Merchant's Tire shirt on and ask them for a cash ticket on the wholesale account.

ok people.. i'm tired of having my rx7 sitting in front of the house.. its in serious need of a downpipe w/o cats... cuz one of my cats is backed up and exhaust doesnt flow out of it properly.. that's one issue and im in need of brakes mainly rotors in the back and pads of course.. :-D.. Currently i have a few hundred saved up for header... so if anyone have any suggestions on which pipe i should go with?... i was lookin at Corksport header..

 

racingbeat

they have either just a downpipe and a resonator, or you can get a header and a resonator.

Ugh. temp tags ran out on my car and i still gotta get some repairs done on it before it can go thru inspection which I cant really afford either right now.

 

I can letcha borrow some non-expired VA tags if you like.

 

heres a new one. the oil drain bolt on my wifes car is stripped so it doesnt seal properly. thats gonna be fun to fix.

 

Re-tap it and pop a new bolt in. Shouldn't be too bad. Untill then you can probably just smack it in with some RTV and a rubber gasket (I've got both if you need it)

 

did the bolt strip or the oil pan strip? but yeah, retap it and put a nice big bolt in it, or just get a new oil pan. (if it's the pan)
