Brian’s Super Clutchnet Race Clutch Swap

$15.99lt, MOTUL is $19.99 per 1/2lt:)...we used 1.5lt last night for brakes alone.

And based on application...normal daily driver fine with Dot 3, as autox.  Mission track though is VERY hard on brakes, you really don't have cool down time, so after 2 laps I started to feel fade which is not good as you have to then adjust.

The ATE is great and has great hot and wet temps, but here is a basic scale was sent to me as a reference:

Wet boiling point defined as 3.7% water by volume.

Well I don't have any distilled water, or I would fire this baby up, however the pedal feel, is amazing.   Car is on the ground, everything is buttoned up, tightened up, checked and double checked.  Only thing left to do is the firewall side spark plugs, change the rotor and cap and she is done.

   Lisa and I are heading out for our anniversary dinner tonight, and we will make a quick stop at a store to pick up 2-3 gallons of distilled water to put in the cooling system.  Then tomorrow it is fire up day.

Happy Anniversary!

Thank You, All of You guys for the wishes of well.  Lisa and I had a great time at dinner and then took a walk down on the beach where we got married.  Unfortunately the tide was in so we could not get to the exact spot of the ceremony, but still a nice walk along Crescent Beach after dinner was a good end to the night.

Ok enough Chatter about mushy stuff lets get back to the thread topic, CARS.  Its 5:30am I am up early to get an early to get a kicken start on the car. I am out in the garage getting revved up about this morning. Gonna light a fire someplace. So in other words.  I am going to kick the tires, light the fires, get the Car started and revved up.

    First order of business is change out the front plugs while it is cold, change the cap and rotor, then fire it up, get the scan tool on it, check the sensors then check the timing.  Unfortunately Brian's Balancer had walked and none of the lines on his balancer lined up with the lines on the new balancer so I am praying that at least one of the 3 grooves in the new balancer shows up in a correct spot with the timing gun.

         Once everything is good, I'll take the car for a quick test drive and report back here. 

LOL, no John we have not used your slave yet, I didn't want to open that can of worms unless we had to.  Right now I want to get the NEED things done before the "maybe we should" things.  However yes it is a nice shiny black. 

Just finishing up the last of the stuff, and was changing out the MSD Cap and Rotor.   Looks like he will be doing a dist shaft and pickup coil soon.   However the cool thing, even with all the crud, the MSD rotor had not worn down and was still at full tip length.  

I cleaned up the distributor shaft as best as I could on the car, however when comes out for the pickup coil change it will need to be completely cleaned.   If I end up with extra time today I may just pull it.  However I am trying to get all the NEED TO BE DONE things first.  Like the 3 firewall plugs.  Brian you remember the nightmare with the front plugs, I have ran into the same thing with the rear ones.  I may have to lower the cradle to get more leverage.
