What Are You Driving ?

[Jestered]

Speaking of itches, when I was between 8 and 14 years old I walked to school and had to walk through a Porsche dealership. It was the mid-seventies and for a kid that grew up watching Cale Yarbrough and Bobby Allison duking it out (literally) on Sunday afternoons and greats like Jackie Stewart and Phil Hill on the other side of the pond that walk was equal parts pleasure and pain.
So a proper rear-end rear-engined 911 was always looming. Was...

Very nice! I got mine a little over 3 months ago.

Nice Cab!

Thanks! It's hard to tell, but it looks like the top is off of that NSX. Is that an NSX-T?

I probably mentioned this earlier, but one of the Z's low points is the slave cylinder. Just can't take the expected abuse from striped driving and is speculated to be faulty in production. I decided to act on it sooner than later. In the process I got an aftermarket clutch and flywheel (went from dual to single mass and dropped ~10lbs) since the transmission was going to be dropped anyway. You'd think the flywheel change would screw things up, but it seemingly made things better — to the point it'd make you wonder "why the f*** didn't Nissan ever sort this out?"

On take offs with the OEM units, the car usually doesn't go clean unless you really have the muscle memory — not feel, but literally muscle memory of pedal positioning. Shifting into second was also a slow ordeal because the revs just wouldn't fall fast enough. Pretty thrilled that I can be a bit more confident with system less prone to failure, and is much easier to drive, but now I have to target an oil cooler. Can only have so much fun until temps spike fast.

I got a Clutchmasters Stage 1 Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel...

This feels great...bites a little harder than stock, but it climbs the gears a hair quicker

Awesome upgrade...

I'm sure it's pretty low..... you should get you a Duramax

It's either 10:1 or 10:3...

Been so long since I've had one, but I think it's the weird 10:3:1 if I remember correctly...
