[lyle chavez]

I wanna see Derek drive his car hard at mission, I guess nomore babying the car after

[Derek Fung]

i have already been driving it hard @ mission last year.  6500rpm launches last yr. well found out my motor mounts are all cracked. i'll put in some inserts and hopefully that will sort it out.

[lyle chavez]

I want to see your new set up before you put it in. maybe tonite if you're not busy. I'll phone Cal. if you dont mind.

[Derek Fung]

my car is already apart at my work. not driving my dsm right now lyle you will see it when its all together.

this is turning into a hell of a week.  first couldn't get the engine to fire, now #2 is low compression.  Crank pulley was out of wack, so had to RR to set base timing, battery is low on juice cuz of all the starting and crap.  now today my clutch lines decides to fucking blow up on me. Put in new SS line, and bled teh system, and it won't get into gear.  I'm so fed up already. ALso my god damn fans decide not to come on @ 200F, so i have to get dsmlink to turn them on. FURIOUS FURIOUS

how lucky can i get?

its always like that.  Any time you do so much, you just have to have some problems.  Sucks goat bag.

as for the clutch bleed issue, I bet your clutch master ran low on fluid once.  Top it up again, open the bleeder on the slave and let it run out(gravity bleed). Keep an eye on the master and top it up when needed.  When you have run enough out to have gotten all new fluid in the line there is no way any air is left in it.  Then bleed the system as normal to make sure none is in the slave cylinder.

boooo, the rentals adding up!

Make sure it's not the 2g pump up issue described there.  

As for the compression I wouldn't panic yet, I've seen major, major compression differences between a warm and cold motor.  Unless you have low compression at operating temp...

[Derek Fung]

definately not the 2g pump issue. as my cfdf had no symptoms of that, and i have lots of free play up top.

there is definately still air in the system as its pretty light about 3/4 travel then it gets ridiculously hard. to a point where it feels like its undrivable.

[Derek Fung]

this is becoming a fucking crazy ordeal.  I can't even get the fucking car into gear because the clutch won't even travel far enough.  The god damn cylinder is already travelling full length and fork is supposedly hitting the damn bell housing.  WTF WTF WTF?!?!?!?!??! now the god damn intake and everything else related to fix this problem has to come out.  

machine shop forgot to plug the damn pulley hole for shaft removal and oil was puking out like a mad dog. everything came off for that AGAIN. this swap is a god damn curse.  i'm almost ready to pour some gas on her and throw a match at it and call it quits.

[Ryan Slater]

I propose Meron, Hartman or any of those other members come to this mans rescue before he actually goes ahead with the match...
