Purdue guys....
Just checking back in with everyone. I am allready ready for it to get warm again so I can get the WS6 back out. Ohh well, its going to be a long winter. Let em know if you guys get together.
I rode up with them, so I didnt have the TA with me or else I would have posted something up. I did however see the black WS6 Police car, that thing was badass.
ya it was a dissapointing weekend, I thought we were going to have a good game...I wouldnt have minded losing if it was a good game...o well but I saw a Silver WS6 at the Speedway gas station on 26 I believe, didnt know if he was on here or not.
+1 yeah i think i saw that one too. The one i seen looked like it had 18"s on the front and 19"s out back. I also saw a red 98+ Z28 with headlight and taillight covers on it. it pulled out of Tark (sp?) i think.
the one i saw looked like it had stock wheels on it and then i saw it again looking for a parking spot over by grant and harrison by my friends apartment.
Anyone in here know anyone that might be interested in installing my ls7 clutch kit for cheap? I also will be replacing the hydraulics. I will help with what I can, thanks

Verdad Gallardo I would love to do it myself, but I don't have a place or the tools. I know A guy that has a lot of tools and a big pull barn, but we don't have any way to get the car high enough to work on it. Any ideas? How high does the car need to be? Do you actually have to pull the tranny or can it just be pushed back a little?
That would be awesome. Before we decide to tackle this one night, I need to make sure I have all the parts we need. I have a new slave cylinder and the flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate. I haven't picked up a new master cylinder yet, do you think I need one? What about any bolts or things of that nature?
I really have no idea on how to tell if its bad. I know I have some major hydraulic problems, but I don't really know if its attributed to just the slave or master or maybe both.

hydraulic lines Cody,
If you can get the tool to pull the line from the tranny GET IT... Makes it much easier to get that damn thing off and on. Very cheep piece of 10 cent plastic....
I'll help out on this thing as well. I'll also ask my friend where I did all my work and see what he thinks.
What kind of problems you having hydraulically?
I also have some Fire resistant hose covering that will be usefull to cover your line down to the slave. Especially helps the line from overheating if you have headers!!!! I know from experience!!!
Same fire resistant hose we use on military trucks on hydraulic lines that run close to turbo's.

Hey Nate, thanks a bunch. Where do I get the tool at and what is it called? I will definetly pick one up. I went ahead and found a cheap master cylinder with only 20k miles on it, even though I think mine is ok. So I have a brand new 01+ plus slave and a fairly new master cylinder. I am really struggling to find people who actually have done this before and who has all the right tools and a place to do it. I have spent about every cent I have on this clutch swap and the cam swap, so I don't have a whole lot of money to pay someone to do it. I am hoping I can supply some beer and food for whoever is helping and keep them happy. I was hoping to do this over brek somewhere between jan 2nd-12th. Coudl you or or friend do it on one of these days? Does he have a lift? I think I havell allthe parts necesary: Complete LS7 clutch kit, new master, new slave/throwout bearing, new pilot bearing, remote bleader, and I am going to rent a blind whole puller and a race bearing instal kit for the pilot bearing. Plus, I will take you up on the offer above, and use some heat resistant wrap for the hydraulic line. I also want to do the drill mod while we are in there. So I think I have evything lined up, you just let em know when and where and I will have it there. Thanks sooo much for helping a newbie out!

Australia Hey fella's,
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, I've been in Australia, I'll be back home next week. I have been away from a computer now for almost 3 weeks... Been nice...
Anyway, whats everyone up to?
Cody, you still wanting to try and put in your new clutch? In regards to the tool you need. You can probably just go to autozone and get one, If not head over to a gm/chevy dealer and see if you can round one up. They'll have them for sure.
Anyone else have any plans coming up?
I've been kicking around either lowering the car with some springs, or possibly upgrading to c5 13" rotors up front? Any thoughts?
