Fuhh............THE man doing good shit in here

No, the stock setup is a slave cylinder with a rod that moves a fork like a typical trans.

Details:

VAC clutch, Tilton components, not very expensive, super long lead time.

Unf, that is beautiful. I need to get a good clutch setup for my bronze car. =\ I want quick revving, light weight, but not too-lightweight to where it's performance robbing.

This shit is just straight nutsack!!! Can't wait to hear this baby in person when it's done. I really need to get my turbo m20 plans rolling just need cash first

[REKIII]

Hopefully the clutch wont make much noise.

[Brian.]

I think there will be plenty of other noises to overtake that

Got up to the shop last weekend.  Didn't feel like a lot was acomplished, but we made huge leaps forward in planning.

Got my newly refinished wheels mounted.  They fit.....just barely.  I will need to lower the car a bunch and play with some thicker spacers in the front and rear.  I may have to pull the rear fenders a bit depending on alignment.

Found a home for these beauties

Made all solid bushings for the Diff

Pulled the stock manifolds off and test fitted my brand new evolve headers.....sadly they wont work, but I'm glad we figured that out before we cut them up.  Anyone in the market for S62 longtube headers?

Dropping my spare block off on Thursday on my way to Chippewa Falls.  Manifold mockup will commence.

We figured out the limited mods that need to be done to get the turbos to fit, and came up with a REALLY cool way to route the turbo piping.

Robert, you are THE man=)

Whoa. Chippewa? My neck of the woods!!

[DrLeadFoot]

What turbos (so sweet to put a "s" behind that) did you go with?

[rampelsauce]

I am excited to see this thing.  Im sure with twin turbos you wont have a problem doing a burnout, like last time.

[REKIII]

I'll get the specs on the turbos.....don't have them handy.

Stupid Burnout.  At least I now have proof that the clutch was in fact junk and not me being retarded.

[Rowleym]

What makes me excited, is those Tial exhaust housings. I bet those are some nice turbos

[REKIII]

The turbos are gt3076r's  57mm compressor wheel.
