Oil change

Replaced master and slave clutch cylinders. Found out SS clutch line for an FB/FC doesn't fit an FD

Replaced brakes on all 4 corners w/ SS lines.

Don't you hate it when you spend an hour trying to put the rear calipers back on to find out the reason they don't fit is because the new pads have built in shims

Why would I ever do that .... Seems your "Darkside" powers have caused you more issues and grief than my "Jedi" has ever caused me...

If you had used the "FORCE" young Jedi, you would have never fallen to the "Darkside"..

Oh my.... someone is in denial.....

If you read back over several pages...you are always trying to solve some issues with your BOINGER....
In my 2 years of FD ownership, my FD has had only ONE issue.... and that was caused by me... and I track my FD very often at the local drag strips...

I think you need to change your signature...


"Reliable since last weeks repair"

But no worries.... You still own an FD so you should be use to repairing it...

MB brothers to the end...

First of all, you've only had that FD 2 years?!? I thought it looked so good cause you had been working on it for years...damn...excelsior!!

Second, having only 1 issue in two years is not the norm for rotary owners...as evidenced by this forum lol.

Replaced my MAP pocket, never realized how wrong mine was until I saw the new one. Thank you very much to Phil for checking out the car and selling me the pocket.

I think it's around a 12.3 not the best thing for a boosted car to run on an 1/8 mile track..

My best at the 1/4 mile track has been an 11.8 @ 115mph..

Yeah, you need more road for that boost to really kick in. 11.8 is really really good though. You must hook up pretty good in the rear. I'd like to be in the 10s but I think I lose too much in the tires/hop. Best I could do was an 11.65@122 but runs more consistenlt in the low 12s.

I'm happy for now.... I feel that hitting an 11.80 with only 370 HP to the wheels is pretty damn good... I am planning to open up the motor and give it a large streetport since it is only running a Pettit streetport right now... I will also have it pinned so I can up the boost safely...

I have put it off only because its running and I dont want to have her down...love driving her at the track to much...
