Just got home from it. My dad and I ran AS today in his S2000, since my car has an exhaust leak that needs to be taken care of ASAP. It sure looks liked a great turnout. Two black turbo FCs and one black N/A FC. I would have killed to have been a part of that! Not to mention the Conquest and Evo from the club. Oh well, I'll be at December's race.

THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!



THINGS TO DO ON AN ELEVATOR!

When there‘s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn‘t you.

Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

Ask if you can push the buttons for other people, but push the wrong ones.

Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you‘re on.

Hold the doors open and say you‘re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How‘s your day been?"

Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That‘s mine!"

Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they‘d like to play.

Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.

Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exit with the passengers.

Ask, "Did you feel that?"

Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

When the doors close, announce to the others, "It‘s okay. Don‘t panic, they open up again."

Swat at flies that don‘t exist.

Tell people that you can see their aura.

Call out, "Group hug!" then enforce it.

Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You‘re one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is my personal space."

Offer name tags to all the other passengers. Wear yours upside down.

When the elevator reaches a floor, pretend you‘re struggling to open the door. And when it opens, by itself, play embarrassed.

Murmur, "Have to pee, have to pee", then say "Oooppps!"

Scream out Geronimo every time the door opens.

When everything is quiet, ask "Who‘s cell phone is that?

Hey guys, its been about 9 months since I got a new OEM clutch put in my car, but its already started to slip. Lucky 7 (Tony I believe) suggested a 6 puck, since autocrossing it probably did the most wear on it. But then I told him I also daily drive it sometimes in stop and go traffic on the freeway, and he responded with "Oh." Haha. So, what kind of clutch do you think I should go with? I was thinking this clutch, but would it be too much for the street, or too little for the track?

Street/Strip HD Disc
http://www.racingbeat.com/resultset....rtNumber=12510

And if I did that, should I get this pressure plate or keep the stock one?

Will this clutch last longer under the same conditions as the stock OEM clutch?

Are you able (or would you be able) to daily drive that 6 puck?

I have a question for everybody on here. I drive a lot of different cars at my job, and I just wanted to know what everybody's number one sports sedan is.

Pretty much if money was not a factor what sedan would you by. I would get an Audi S8 V10 (I didn't drive the W12) it rocks!

WHAT!? are you kidding me. dude, in autocross you put it in second gear and go.... I autocrosed my RX-8 for 3 years on the stock clutch. many, many race days, practices, and pro solos..... trust me.. thats not the problem.

daily driving will beat a clutch up WAY WAAAAYYY more then the 2 or 3 auto X days you have done.

now since it has died in 9 months... that tells me you either had a defect, or you slip your cluches like crazy.

get yourself a nice stage one, and your set. in yout stockish car you dont need anything higher.

but to answer your question, you can get any clutch, just make sure its sprung. like Rob said, a solid hub a rather harsh for the street. and in a stock car, a LOT over kill.

6 or 4 puck sprung hub WILL work..... not needed.... but it will work.

you wanna have some fun. get a 4 puck solid hub.... he he he. I like to call these more of an on/off switch, not so much a clutch.
here is what I had in the drag RX-7.
