finally done with R&D? YAY! install them asap!

[Earl]

Take those helpers out. They garbage=P

[REKIII]

I was surprised to see them in there to tell you the truth.  The only thing I can think is he wanted to make sure the spring stays seated together in the hat.

I will ask whe nI give him a ring to get the start up process squared away.

[REKIII]

My new clutch FINALLY came in.  I ordered this thing at the beginning of summer.  Slight weight savings over stock.

Damnit didn't realize the display was flashed out.  Pretty sure it was 56.4lbs.

[240sxguy]

Beautiful! Who made that clutch for you?

[REKIII]

VAC Motorsports.  The tripple disc part and TB are Tilton pieces.

[Brian.]

That thing looks meaty! Bet it'll grab like a mother fucker!

[Earl]

Robert you are THE man!

[REKIII]

I don't know about 'The' Man.  I thought my clutch was pretty cool until I saw your Film Car.

[Earl]

I think they're equally cool but for different reasons

[KaiserRolls]

rekiii, do you still have your crazy awesome motorcycle?

[REKIII]

Yes.  It is sort of apart.  Still has issues i can't figure out, and no time to work on it.

[B C]

The difference in clutch weight is unreal O__O

It was a nice enough difference going from 19lb to 13 or so lb on my flywheel but you have moved the mass inboard as well. 

I want to rev your motor.

sounds slightly homo-erotic

[REKIII]

Too many issues.  Sadly, they probably will never be resolved.  But the good news is that I've now defined a place to burn on my yard.  I have a large pile of trees and shrubs I took down. Rolling the bike into that pile and lighting her up won't be too tough.

electrical stuff? fuel delivery? you've got tons of sweet shit on that thing.

[REKIII]

Electrical.  The sweet shit burns better.

What is this bike?  I am an industrial electrical tech, tell me what its doing and give me an electrical diagram.

[REKIII]

Not sure it would help.  I'm more content burning.  The problem wont be fixed via wiring diagram.

[REKIII]

Turbos confirmed!

Wiring started!

Suspension almost right.

Progress, since the snow just started flying, this means there is promise for a functional car by spring.
