damn nice clutch man

TY


i got the same clutch in a box....they look real nice...but i just like the feeling of being broke...so i had to get the clutchnet one

LOL shoulda told me i woulda bought it off you... i didnt really need anytihng performance just a good solid stock clutch... like i said my friend bought it for me (i sent him a check for the car) so that it would be waiting in ocala when i got there.. and he said the clutch was just starting to slip... that on top of its been a few years since i have driven a stick (and didnt do much of it then) i figured the clutch in it will be toasted lol and this one was a good price for a known brand so meh

[Vanilla Sky]

Mini meet for the 23rd?

[mushroom_toy]

Thats why I got out of boarding lol...wayyy too much money for me haha..

[labeledsk8r]

How does it feel to be back in FL?

[forrest89sei]

You need to update your profile

Welcome Back

[UnforgivenPyro]

He wouldnt dare take my foglight covers. I know where he lives, I'll cut him. j/k

[A18A]

your life appears to have turned around for the good :thumbup: must be cause you got rid of that silly old car you had

[labeledsk8r]

Nice. Now we need to get a meet together.

How does it feel to be back in FL?

yeah... still need some time to get a damn tag on my car and stuffs.... and im not sure how i feel about being back yet lol havent been here long enough


your life appears to have turned around for the good :thumbup: must be cause you got rid of that silly old car you had

so far.... luck doesnt last me long..... but getting rid of the cutlass mighta helped....



now i must go fix my taillights as they do not light up at all (thinking tail light switch)

[forrest89sei]

Could be the Brake light Switch on the pedal, there plastic and tend to break, or if your tail light seals are fucked up it could be the control boxes for the tails, whenever I took my LX to the car wash the tails would die, till i dried out the boxes and got new seals

would this kill the 3rd brake light in the rear window aswell??? the tails turnon with the head lights but the actuall brake lighting doesnt work when brakes are hit.... also the switch and pedal area look fine... but im not positive... i will get a junkyard switch and try that

[labeledsk8r]

put a new tail light switch in and all better.... still working out its small little problems... the clutch is sliping so badly.. need to put in the new one soon and adjust the cable

[A18A]

slipping clutches = lose :(

[ghettogeddy]

[labeledsk8r]

yes it does



adjust it now you might get a lil life out of it


yeah i was planing to... my budy andrew is giveig me his old intake since he orderd a new one for his se-i... so i was going to do it when i put it in since the stock intake blocks all that crap

[labeledsk8r]

well since i have to put the new clutch in soon... and i noticed i have some moist oil on the pan today... im wondering if i should get the rear main seal done aswell..... i have to pay my shop to do the clutch becuse i only have a basic tool set right now since these past few moves have made me get rid of 90% of my tools...so im wondering if i should add the rear main seal onto that list while the clutch is out what you guys think?? i gotta make this engine last till i can build a turbo motor

[MessyHonda]

yeah replace the rear main seal...i did mine...and the seal was only like 14 bucks....i also replaced the flywheel with a 9 pound one.

yeah ima talk to my mech... hopefully he will cut me a deal since the trans will allready be sorta out for the clutch... wish i could do it myself but i odnt have the tools right now....

still need to get car insurence and a tag on it... i hate shoping for insurence

[SZfiftyfour]

What shop do you go to? I was thinking about taking my car to Rising Sun to get some stuff done. I haven't heard anything about em; good or bad.

i go to B&M automotive, have gone there for a while now, the owner is named Bo and him and his son do awsome work on hondas and modded hondas. there located over by midnight rodeo on pine street, its a really hard shop to find becuse its up between some buildings....... and i have never heard of rising sun

[SZfiftyfour]

i know exactly where you're talking about, i'll have to check them out.
R/S is on the SE side of town they're asian&german specialists.
