i didnt see it in the video but then again i was @ VEGAS so i wouldnt know , i did get to see the car in 05 when i went to his shop and it was looking good , might just have to stop by again this year before the event

 

Man you got me, now I don't know if I saw the car at the Pan Ams or pics of it at one of the local websites

 

so did u make it to summerslam this weekend ?

 

FYI... I hate to say this but this is the first year in a long time that we wont be going to the pan-ams.

My middle son Joey is marrying his sweetheart this weekend. So I have to stay home.... Im kinda excited as they have been wanting to do this for a long time, and they decided on a FLASH wedding.................

 

Yes, I ran 35psi and the clutch started slipping. I then dialed the boost down to 25 and as soon as I shifted into 3rd on the next pass, the 3rd gear broke. Now changing the clutch and tranny and should be running at the track on Friday and on Sunday if all goes well.

well thats great news congratulations may they have a long and very happy marriage

 

thats great news that your breaking **** , means your making power sucks that you broke it @ an event but @ least you went out there and had some fun have you thought of shimming that that pig so it stops slipping

 

Heh Heh!
Nice!
Now I know it's deffinately going to run good.

 

It's a pull type clutch. Plus it's only the regular pos ACT anyway. I have put every size shim on that sucker and it still did not hold any decent power.

Manny you know now you just let out another secret about shimming the pressure plate. You will have some explaining to do soon.
Imagine if everyone knew that a stock pressure plate shimmed properly is almost as strong as most of the aftermarket stuff.

 

sorry i will go to my corner now ............... and yo *** i know is gonna be @ atco hold up a minute i just mentioned shim your the one that went into details

 

You are right. I had NO idea what shimming was and was not about to ask, I was waiting for someone else to ask and then Crispeed explained it! I think we need to get you guys in one room and torture you to get all the secrets out before you croak lol.

So........is there anyway to have a clutch on a stock tranny that slips a little at first and then holds the power after so there is less shock on the tranny and rear?

Anthony

 

can't you do that yourself just by slipping the clutch on launch?

edit: I know I won't get an answer but worth a shot. Can you shim a act heavy duty pressure plate?

 

of course there is grasshopper thats where shimming comes into play and other things like tire presure , tire temps and a bunch of stuff like that

 

I quess since Major League driven by Siquel won someone needs to pay up.

 

i'll be there

 

when is the pan am nationals please send datessssss thanks

 

I quess I got a little ahead of myself. Major League won Summer Slam, not the Pan Am's. I still think the results will pretty much be about the same. Condenao Bacardi Limon, maldita sea!

 

hoy estamos en el mismo barco

 

I Think Major League Got Lucky At Summerslam , That Car Was,nt Running Right . In The Finals That Condogo The Blue One Thats Was Driven By Oso Is A Bad Car But On The Last Run The Left The Towel Under The Hood ,the One The Use To Covered Up The Turbo And That Mess The Turbo Up

But The Toyota Ran 7.4 All Weekend

Anyone Saw That Hyundai Ran 10.5 ,3 Times On Sunday Bad Car

 

ewww damn! I wonder how much it cost to replace that turbo. Thats a hell of a way to blow up your turbo.

 

Been there done that!

lol, oh man that would make me sick! Of course I would see it as a sign to go with a bigger turbo

 

That car already has "bigger" turbo... from there one can only go to biggest or ginormous.

 

i know i am not the only one that sees that video and gets that water box third gear burnout sensation down my spine
