antsy. with reintroduction and update.
hi again... this place has grown since I last looked.
so i spent yesterday afternoon on my back re-installing my transmission and a new clutch (replaced the disks on my tilton twins) and I'm getting anxious to get the car back together and put the turbo back in. the problem though is that it's nearly winter. which sucks.
in the mean time, i'm ditching the air/water intercooler in favor of a BEGi semi-custom jobby (working through that with stephanie at the moment). I'll probably go with the "system 2" sized core for now and some custom piping in and out of the motor.
I also have to clean up the exhaust flanges and fit my V-band clamps in where the 3-bolt(s lost) flanges are. Some day I will even have the water injection up and running.
it's good to be back... and have more than 5 posts.

PS I'll have more pics of the tilton twin plate setup soon. primarily of the custom parts.

how could you forget a $30 part on a $500 job? doh. I have a spare that's covered in black goo if you want it...
anyway, after easily lining up and mating my tranny, I realized my setup wasn't workin right. I pulled it back out and my clutch cover has a cracked diaphragm spring.
Well there goes another week.

ummmmm, you mean again?
the twin plate disks I use have offset hubs. the instructions say to face the hubs out (toward the transmission) for whatever reason (to clear flywheel bolts?). but since the assembly is taller than stock, it puts those hubs about ohhh 3/8 or so further into the tranny than the release bearing boss.
imagine the swearing trying to assemble the transmission with that much part interference and just enough give to try it anyway. heh. then imagine the swearing when i found out why. then imagine the swearing when I realized what the tilton disks cost (you know, cuz I made mine cone-shaped)! glad I dont use them anymore and no longer follow directions.
heh heh.
