The Ride is on the Road

[96GT Toy]

Well the 96Gt hit the road today. I picked it up from its dusty storage location today and spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing and cleaning. The car now looks great!
While I was at it I cleaned the K&N and replaced the plugs. The GT only has 80,000kms on it and I know they say the plugs are supposed to be good for 160,000kms but believe me the old plugs looked nasty.
A quick run out the 417 and all looks good.
I also put the original battery back in the car this morning, I am wondering if it will live another summer making it 10 years old, the longest I have ever had a battery.
Now the only known real nasty is the rising GAS PRICES!!!
Happy motoring.

Yeah -- I just took mine out last week. Feels good... but... clutch is slipping more then ever now. Should have done it last year but pushed it out. So I'm on a quest to find a good replacement to the stock one AND don't know if it's something I can take on myself.

I have installed a couple of clutches.
It IS NOT something you want to do laying on your back in the laneway.
Really you need a hoist, air tools and be sure you will either have to have the fly wheel machined or install a new one.
Good luck!

I changed my clutch twice on my back in my driveway, with the car 1.5-2ft max off the ground with absolutely no air tools. Its hard but you can do it. And you'll need a torque wrench also.

I have a torque wrench and a garage (no lift)... and looking for an excuse to buy air tools. Also have a few buddies who are willing to lend a hand. You guys are my buddies right?
