Which throwout bearing is that one?

make it invisible
I want it for function, but I love the 'full open view' of the engine bay without it (applicable to all strut braces really). Hence why it keeps being pushed down the things-to-buy list. Actually looking at pictures now and the cross portion is set way further back than I thought it was. For some reason I pictured it right across the middle. I wonder if the coils would hit it.
Wonder if I'll be able to feel a difference with one vs. with just the strut tower braces I have now? Tell you what after 5 months of only driving my tired old SAAB the 240 sure feels sharp.
the housing of bells? I don't think I took one but lemme check. I used the rubber bellows from the clutch fork and snaked them out through there, worked perfect.
I'll get ya something

Are you gonna be at the Lime Rock thing in June?
I think we might have talked this before, I feel like I saw a picture. Is it small like the bolt area of the MC or does it distribute the load further out on the panel? The issue is the side towards the center of the car where it's flat near the brake booster, there's just no support. The other side is close to the edge of the panel so it's stiffer. So it ends up kicking the master out towards the fender by a not insignificant amount.
Someone should remake those in aluminum.
seems like it's getting pretty ironed out. might as well take it to ipd.
I wonder if the Kia Sorrento sensor will be a better gap and it's really strong too.
Car looks sexier and sexier every time I see pictures of it!
haha Tate said the same thing. There's a long list of cars I'd choose to drive cross country before this thing!
Drive it out!
Stop by Wisconsin on your way. I'll buy you a beer and fried cheese curds.
The bug has bitten.The highlight was that they had the autocross course in the center of the track open for the show cars. You could go out for 4-5 minutes at a time and just do laps with a few other cars on the track. They were pretty generous with the time so I was able to do quite a few laps with the car. I've never had it somewhere where I could just go for it and after two or three corners... YES! It was so fun. I've never done an autocross, and I'm definitely going to try some now.
We were really happy with how the car did. The loop is tight/slow speed so I was able to do the whole thing in second gear. It didn't miss a beat, and felt very composed, nice and flat but compliant. The tires really blew me away. When they get some heat in them there was just a ton of grip. After several lap hammering on it second gear it was definitely the hottest I've seen it run, but everything stayed within range. Luckily there was a nice shady tree next to the track to chill out between laps.
