What did you do with your Trans Am today?

Ah, that makes sense. Right now, it does engage right off the floor but it still has all that travel to get there. I didnt mess with the slave. My reservoir was empty and the pedal was super spongy so I went on a whim and just replaced the MC hoping that is/was the issue....lol

It never ends......

Took the car to the track for a shake down. Clutch works great....found new issue.

Clutch packs in the rear are worn out.

Not a hard or expensive fix but if I want traction I gotta do it.

get rid of the clutch type differential?

I plan on a Wavetrac in the future

The LCAs shouldn’t be doing that , if anything, it should improving the traction and hop situation.

True IF I didn’t lower the car too. I looked into it - the angle is wrong if I don’t ‘relocate’ the arm to about the stock angle or even more aggressive if I want more bite and don’t mind a harsher ride.

no matter your ride height your pinon angle needs to be set to -2 degrees while suspension is under load.

Changing the CV axles on my daily driver and checking into a smoking turbo problem so had to daily drive the baby for a week. Ran errands around town. Home to Auto parts store 5 miles away. Then to grab a bite to eat a mile away. Then another 4 miles to get my son from school. He loved that and being in the land of Tesla and Hybrids I caused a lot of heartache with parents and perhaps corrupted a few kids. From there drove 5 miles back to the parts store because the seal I needed came in and then the 5 miles home. All in all I did 20 miles of city driving. Might I add I do have to warm the car up in the morning for 30 minutes. Race car needs long warm up time. So in 1 day of city driving and doing errands I burned half a tank of gas. I believe my true gas mileage is 2-3 City/6 Hwy

Is this E85?

91 pump gas. California watered down gas! But if I ran E85 probably 1/3 :rofl:

Are you running that rich?

A/F doesn't drop below 11.4 but with dual 340 pumps and 127# injectors it's a lot of fuel!

went auto X'ing with the local Porsche club Sat. That is so much fun .. got 6 runs in. Out of 80 cars I ran about mid pack. Not too shabby considering the track only cars that were there and the high $$$ Porsches. A damn Miata took fastest time of the day !! I need a brake upgrade and an UMI K-member to get some weight off the front.

I think I want to get into that more then just drag.

Why do people think Cali gas is watered down? I just came back from visiting my mom in Cali, and I got way better fuel mileage on Cali gas than I get at home. I ran 140 miles on the first 1/4 tank without even trying to be conservative. Normally, I can get between 100 and 110 miles on AZ gas before using the first 1/4 tank.

Of course, you're in the Bay area there... how's the traffic? I was in Lancaster, and I took the I40 back to AZ (clear sailing all the way).
