Wow where to start...
August my Spec Stage 3 started slipping. Had to pull trans again, however clutch looked perfectly fine? Threw in a new slave cylinder and flywheel and oh course along the way ran into a million problems. (Mind you all while working on our backs in my rock driveway with the car on jackstands.) One night putting the trans back in somehow the metal rod comming off the slave cylinder snapped. The something didn't quite line up and we were not able to bleed the slave. Had to pull the trans again and realign the clutch. Put it back together and drove it for 1 week and 1 day...
Then a friend bought a 93 Camaro Z28 with work done that supposibly ran 12.60's. He called me out b/c I ran a 12.56 in my car. Well we raced. After I put 6 cars on him my driveshaft blew out my c-clips on my driveshaft, sent my driveshaft smashing into my tailshaft casing on the T-56, completely cracking it IN HALF. I'll post pics of the damage. Also put a nice dent in the driveshaft meaning I needed a new one. Had to pull trans again to fix it and once again ran into a million more stupid little problems. (I.e. slave cylinder bolts stripped so had to get new ones tapped, new tailshaft case was not fully milled and had to get 4 shifter holes tapped.) Finally got it all back together and had a hard time keeping my brackets tight, finally got that figured out now I learned I need a torque arm....plus an alternator. Just got a new battery 3 days ago...ohh blew out a whole bunch of speakers...and 2 new rears tires and need fronts soon. Last thing lol I need a new 02 and extention.
Plan is to fix it up this winter, make it alot nicer of a car overall.
