Let me know how your clutch install goes, I'm yet to do mine. I'm assuming that's a lightweight flywheel?

Yes, the Z1 lightweight. and Z1 just shipped another package today. that must be the missing parts.

damn, I have a lot of work to do. I think I have a condition where I'm not happy unless I'm under pressure. Even with a self-inflicted to-do list.:-) running a business with cargo vans that I service myself, hobby cars, track cars, home remodeling, and porting an indie game to classic game consoles and retro computers... lol. I definitely don't feel good with nothing to do.

clutch can be a pain to bleed, just be patient and make sure you wait in between cycles.

Axle stubs arrived. I think getting this put together and installed will motivate me to get other stuff done that I have neglected to do.

was finally able to cut back the hours and get some time in the garage again since December. I put the new diff together. can't wait to get this thing on the track. The 4.09 gear will be awesome at Sonoma and thunderhill. still have a ton of stuff to do. glad to finally be getting back at it.

Lots of stuff happening--all for the better! I was working 6 days a week running the business + doing a lot of work myself for the past few months which is why nothing has been getting done on the track car(s) since last year. Finally hired another driver & reduced my schedule to 2 days a week. I was so exhausted... Just starting to get some energy back again after 2 weeks of recovery & thinking about the garage again. With this amount of free time, I'll finally get back on track (pun 100% intended).

I just ordered a MaxJax M7K lift. $3,100 at Lowes. After 5 years of crawling on the floor, finally leveling up the garage. The ceiling is only 96" so this is the best solution. I was pissed at MaxJax for doubling their price 3 years ago when I was about to place the order. During Covid, I guess. So when I saw this price come up, i was surprised and jumped on it.

I have a ton of stuff to do & can't wait to get to it. this lift will change things a lot.

Yeah i've been working so much I didn't even get the new diff installed... ugh... But now I can finally get back into this hobby.
