I finally got her lined out, and found the first weak link, I think....?
I spent the evening wiring in permanently my Mallory Hyfire box that solved my spark blow problem I've been fiddling with for a month.. and went to drive the poo out of the car. Loaded my other linebacker size buddy up and drove it hard.(the car, not my buddy..)After coming up on a stop rather quickly and finding the limits of the new 4 wheel discs, I used the ol clutch and down shift trick. Made a u turn to head back to my buddy's place and after a sweet rolling burnout the Spec stage 2 kevlar clutch began slipping. Terribly. Now.. I've had this clutch in the car for about 3 years, but it's only seen 1000 miles or so. I'm thinking crap, what brand clutch am I buying to replace this one, as I make the 20 mile trip home, easing along. As I get a mile or so from the house, I decided to trounce it a little more because, what the heck, it's already fried right?... The clutch hooked up fine and acted like it was never hurt. Even chattered less from takeoff. I've used center force a lot, but this is my first spec. Anyone ever experience this behavior from a kevlar clutch before? I gotta admit, I'm a bit baffled.
Thoughts? Previous experiences?
