Hey sorry I didn't post, been a ******* hell of a month for me and well everyone in my house. internet hasn't been working quite right. Damn N Band routers. They suck. I've been trying to get ahold of Ryan or Tailor to post the meet, but neither like answering there phones. Also My hotwater tank blew like a few months ago and just found out about it now. So We've been remodeling the kitchen. whoot so much fun and so much broke.

Well I'll be back to my normal posting of everything this up coming month, now that my pepes at my house and I are getting back to normal. Well kinda still have a very interesting looking kitchen.

Will be at next months meet, I'm to damn tired to drive haven't slept in two days. Peace out hope you 'll have a great time.

Thanks Jeff...Did it leave straight as promised? I did smell a bit of clutch so I know the stock TII clutch cant hold it at all.

Yes, the two burnout marks were quite straight from what I could tell. It also looked like it accelerated pretty well even though it was spinning them basically the whole time.

Question. How heavy does the stock T2 pressure plate feel in your '83? I know the '84 to '85 cars have a lighter feeling pedal due to differences in length, travel and a "helper spring" instead of a simple return spring found in '83 and older cars. Gavin's '83 pedal feels moderate with a worn 215mm centerforce dual friction. My '81 has a 225mm centerforce pressure plate (the older gold painted version) with a brand new ACT street disc (full faced organic with limited marcels) and a brand new RB aluminum flywheel. My pedal feels slightly lighter than Gavin's because my parts are brand new.

The plan is to swap in some RB SS pressure plates in our cars. I'm just not looking forward to stop and go with a heavy pedal and a light flywheel, you know? The disc is also very grabby but nicer than an RB HD disc.

I should have tested the clutch pedal in your car before you left. The way things are going, I might already have the stronger pressure plates installed in both our cars by the time you get back to the Taco7 meet in two months. We'll see how the weather goes.

I've got a GSL-SE oil pan, RB road race header and RB front mount bar (13B into 12A chassis) going up for sale as soon as I can pull them...

Oh yeah I also have some fan shrouds. One has been modified to clear the stock clutch fan when going 13B. It's the '79 to '82 type meant for the short rad with air oil cooler beneath.

Just putting it out there. These parts will be pulled from the FB next month after I get the GLC running on its new engine.

One more thing. I can also sell a collector I made to bolt up to the road race header. It collects to 3" like Adrian's. I'm changing collectors when I change headers so it's also available next month. I can chop it off 5 or 6 inches from the collector for eash of fabbing on your new system. Whatever, just ask.
