1st event hopefully this friday, then out to paint all of next week.

1991 240sx bought for 800 bux and drove from dallas to houston
2002 camaro SS drivetrain
t56rebuilds.com semi-built t56
clutchnet 4 puck sprung clutch
magnusen GTO kit @ 7psi
hinson prototype mount kit & long tubes
Flowmaster dual 3'' with outlaw mufflers. its awesome loud.
hinson driveshaft
welded diff
drive shaft shop axles
tires now are cooper zeon 2xs 255/40r17 rear on foose nitrous wheels, but im working on getting some bigger rims, i need about a 315 but the largest i can get is a 285 or a 275.

this thing is stupid/scary fast. now we gotta get the lights working and a couple other little things, and were gonna play with the alignment some.

i bled the **** out of the clutch. the pedal is horrible, but it enguages and disengages fine, just isnt very stiff at all, really light. im looking into other masters to try to swap out, ill post anything i figure out.

The reason why it feels like **** is because it won't handle the pressure of that clutch. Your master is actually bleeding past the seals but actually to the point of disengaging the clutch. Good luck.
