shizzl Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 yeah... i think i have solved the clutch drama...not physically but mentally... i yelled at it... no, in the pics below i didnt take into account what happens to the housing when the piston moves,it goes backwards,and there was nothing stopping it...so ill go and get some bolts for the input snout that are 10mm longer, and put nuts onto them to use as a spacer,this will stop the housing moving back... and the piston should push the bearing into the pressure plate....

shizzl Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 should update seeing as i have done the first meeting... 9am went to load it onto the trailer and had fuel pissing all over my foot, fucking braided line was leaking/split, so i loaded it up anyway. got to the track and had my crew who were in transit pick up my line and shoot down to smith speed spares to get something to suit.. 30min later it was all go.. went through scruitineering, was the 2nd to last car to go through..luckily.. 1st race and i had drawn pole...fuk it all. lights green, 2nd, 3rd gear first corner, bash bang ping, spin crwaling down the track.. i got spat into another car, spun round and t boned, it resulted in both rear shocks snapping in half. sat it out on the infield.. race 1 : DNF got into the pits after being pushed, the chassis was digging into the ground and the diff head into my arsehole. found out that both springs were sitting on the track along with the top hats. one top hat made it back with the springs but the other is lost.. we managed to weld the shocks back together and assemble one shock.. i borrowed a top hat from someone and had it back together as the other stockies were heading out for race 2. i sent a mate to run up to hold the pit gate as i was putting my race digs on.. was fucking sweating my ring piece off and putting my gloves on at the same time fanging it to the pit gate... only just making it before they were gonna shut the gate.. its a good thing i was to start off the back... reached the grid and the light went green almost straight away.. made it through one and two..everyone was going everywhere, fuck it was mayhem.. i was attemptin a few hits here and there, car was handling preety sweet.. finished the race in 5th..not bad from last.. race 2 : 5th.. race 3 in the total random outcome i was to start off the back again which was awesome,itgave me a chance to get through the tangeled mess at the first bend.3rd to last lap or so and i was on a flyer but ended up abit wide going into turn one, looked to the left to see the local hitter eyeing me up, i knew i was going up the wall, i was so up there i shouldve had wings on, i slammed back down and carried on charging, but from then on there was a mad vibration somewhere,i finished the race and had no idea where i finished, just knowing that i finished. i had the trailer ready to be loaded before i went out. so i cruised in and trailered her up.and thats when i noticed the tyre was leaking, the rim was bent from the wall ride.. id ont care cos it a blast. turned out i finished 4th.. race 1:dnf race 2: 5th race 3: 4th overall finish for the day was 6th...yeah..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
