Good to hear its back on the road already. So u had someone clean up your flywheel by hand and just put that with a new clutch disk?

it's definitely not SHaW's, he's running 9.5 +15 if I remember correctly. I'll try to find a picture, I'm almost positive I've seen it before

The only reason I asked is because I was told the flywheel couldn't be resurfaced because it would wobble on a lathe it being a dual mass flywheel. That's odd. I guess those who told me that were wrong haha. Sux cause I spent almost $400 on a new flywheel.

Good luck with the build man. Hopefully I will get out to Sonic on Sun. and check out the new rims and stuff.

Fixed

mx931 · 05-03-2011, 10:26 PM

so as a lot of you may have seen at sonic, m car is back on the road....and somewhat stanced.

want to thank 420sx and omg (ken and ed) for helpin me with rollin the fenders and gettin it ready. i need to go lower in back back im satisfied.
tonight i picked up my accessport from mario. Im running a stage 1 93 octane tune....spooling at about 3k-6300rpms id say. much better then 3.5k-5600rmps. i love it and am very suprised.

next week im picking up my atp downpipe. then plan on going stage 2 so i should have some major improvements.

mx931 · 05-03-2011, 10:28 PM

other then the dp. im getting all supporting motor mounts and trans mounts. also gonna need brakes and rotors and front ball joints. i can honestly say i love my car more then any car i saw at sonic, besides a few. im doing it right and completely satisfied with the way its coming a long.

Chefsp0t · 05-03-2011, 10:29 PM

What's still left on your BC coilovers? Have you removed any perches or anything? It seems like you should be tucking more tire even without the shorter springs they offer in their extreme drop package.

I highly recommend getting the fenders rolled with an actual roller. They will make it so much smoother and flat than a bat or pvc pipe will do.

Nick Merrone · 05-03-2011, 10:31 PM

get a lip

mx931 · 05-03-2011, 10:34 PM

they are maxed out, im running a 225/40 next week vs the 215/45 i have now. i am trying to maintain the height im at now in the front as it has some form and function imo. borrowing a fender roller sunday and doing it properly.

mx931 · 05-03-2011, 10:35 PM

and nick, as much as i like the lip that the red speed3 had at the meet everyones drewling about, i didnt at the same time. he was running a 9.75 wheel aka lotta poke, but wasnt tucked enough and his lip was him cheating. i am satisfied with the front as it still functions a lot.
