I guess your having my front UCAs, and my rear uprights, both of which are somewhat essential to allowing the car to have wheels attached to it and support its own weight, doesn't count.
Now we're going to hear about how Ms Aidan being home for spring break is going to somehow affect your ability to get work done in the garage, because reasons. Sheesh.
I got 6k miles out of the last set. They had some meat left on them. Might have been able to stretch them to 8-10k. Riveted discs are not the way to go, but it's all I've got right now. I'm actually slightly worried about them holding with the new motor.
Plan is to run these another year, and make a decision. I need to drive Richards carbon Kevlar discs, and Albert's ceramic. If I can live with ceramic that is easy mode. And cheap. If I cant stand the ceramic and like the carbon kevlar I will get a set of those discs made. Hopefully the longetivity is decent.
Oh and I bought a spare 6 speed just in case
id like to have the t5 in next year though. And if anyone is wondering you can get dog engagement g force gearsets for $1600. Good for 500ft/lbs....
Aidan my ceramic discs are sitting in my garage, you're welcome to try them.
Edit: but Martin said "Richard you're going to hate this clutch", and Josh said "it's undriveable on the street." But I have confidence you can prove them wrong! Maybe a little Slick 50, or a touch of His'n'Hers on the discs will do it.
I'm not looking for easy to drive. I'm looking for driveable. I have fresh organic discs. And I'm going to run them. But I'm thinking about a backup. With any luck I'll try Albert's at thunderhill in July.
More bearing awesomeness. Turns out there was some miscommunication. And the standard non-HX bearings are what the machine shop wanted. These have been backordered since January and we're even harder to find than the HX bearings. So now I've got 2 sets or HX rod bearings and a full set on non-HX bearings on the way....
