^^^^WIN!^^^^

 

Okay, have you ever taken your car for alignment........then later down the road, say a few months you have to take it in again and your alignment is off......."thinking to yourself - you havent hit any potholes or done anything aggressive to throw off your alignment"

Well the culprit the damn oem/spc washers slipping....they move! Trust me!

I do this after an alignment and prior to all my races:

I mark lines across the the off centered "egg shaped" (eccentric) washers.

after a few months of daily driving, or ONE track day, the dammn things slip, move, etc...

Okay, take a moment and look at the picture:


If you have adjustable arms - what the hell do you need those shitty washers for still????

Hence, i use lock out washers at all 4 points and my alignment never moves!!!





hell ya! its on!

 

^ get it???

 

^^^he better...LOL

 

28000 miles

 

Got it and I'll take it.

 

let me ask you one question. So when I do a pumpkin for pumpkin swap that mean I loose some top end power, so for example instead of topping out at 136 or whatever i might top out at 125?

 

^ yes!

the reason everyone does the swap, is because it aids acceleration and the usable speeds.........when the hell do you ever top out..........never really..

youll still be able to hit the speed limiter at 155mph with this swap. if you had the speed limiter removed it would something along the lines of instead of being able to a theoretical 195mph at 6850rpm in 6th, you'll only be able to hit 186mph at 6850rpm in 6th.,

 

I mean jason on cooper im always doing like 120 - 140. the only problem is that i am granny shifting and end up blowing my engine all the time

*oh wait im not in F&F* hhah

but ya i was just wondering.....

Jason (nexx) ill do it, lets just hope it all goes smoothly. I have to change my differential fluid that day anway so maybe might make it easier?

 

and remmeber i have no 6th

 

ya, well swap fluid off the car, i have a magnet level well use and ensure the pumpkins are level. well do it on a work table. easy breezy..

ya that doesnt matter, the Final drive in your car is the 3.3 he wants....and he has the 3.5 for you.....gearing is on the tranny...

can you tell im a bit mechanically challenged

So lets see how stupid I wll look on saturday.

jason where should i go buy my fluids from? transmission, brake fluid, radiator, power steering, differential..

Stealership or autozone? or whatt.. i have today to buy it all! lol

 

tranny fluid I'd suggest the stealership, you might have to get PS fluid there also, brake fluid, coolant, and diff oil, are all at autozone depending on what you want with the diff fluid (full synthetic, regular diff oil, ya know)

slight change in my tech day plans guys, I'll still be coming out, but after cars and coffee as I forgot they were doing two this week. I'll also be by myself.

 

autotranny - dealership, but ask how much they charge too, cuase the price for them to do it may be about a minor difference than buying the fluid yourself.....it takes like 10 quarts...

brake - RBF600
Power steering - see manual
radiator - see manual

diff - ask nexx when his was last serviced...
either way -> 75w-85


Alamomotorsports in Arlington has RBF600 in stock.....
1218 Colorado Lane, Arlington, TX‎ - (817) 860-4300

Might wanna check to see what time they are open saturday and you can pick some up on the way to my house.

pffffft....thats why you ask questions...and thats why anyone who is savvy would be more than willing to help you sir. thats what this is all about.!


I was there once...

 

diff was about 5000 miles ago. doesnt have to be changed but might as well while its out and easy to do. i'll want to change the fluids in the 3.3 as well. since you are so close to alamo, *cough* *cough*, you should kindly pick some up for us.

 

lol...^^^

 

If anybody is interested, at the Tech Day I will have for sale the Wilwood parts necessary to mod your clutch reservoir for easy bleeding. I bought the parts, but realized that I could use a cheap vacuum bleeder on my HR.

I am not able to attend, but the parts will be at Jason's house on Saturday. I'm sure he would help whoever buys these. I want $35 for the parts. I spent more than $40 with shipping, so my loss is your gain.

PM me with any questions.

 

Damn, I'm so jealous I can't go to this. I missed the meet last week and now this (and C&C). I had everything I wanted to do planned out and ready to go, too.
