Hwy 9 Fun Run!

[KpaBap]

...or not...

We coulda used the support, Ya. Here's how it went down, ala Jimmy Buffet's 'Margaritaville':

Wastin the night up 'side HWY1,
Waitin for that tow truck to come.
Some people claim it's that old clutch to blaaaaaame,
but I know, it's my own damn fault.

 

[KpaBap]

aw man, elaborate, the clutch gave up on you?

 

[Natey]

The FC's slidin' around
w00t w00t for greyhound,
Why'd the clutch have to fry?

Entertainin' a drunk bum,
Donuts is good fun
I got laughed at by the
tow truck guyyyyy...

 

[Natey]

 

[KpaBap]

I always miss out on the most fun nights

 

[BFMRGTX]

How do you think I feel? Everytime I hang around Natey, his car breaks.

Must've been somethin I said.....

*kicks rock and scuffles away*

 

[Natey]

It actually kinda sucked.
lol, at least I found the weak link! (yupnope)

 

[BFMRGTX]

The fun part was driving around the lot in circles, trying to get the momentum to get out of the parking lot. That, and Natey jumping into the passenger's seat like one of them thar Duke Boys.

 

[BFMRGTX]

It actually kinda sucked.

I think it was the mad-grippy tires, y0. Too much traction.

 

[KpaBap]

oh wait, your miata's clutch blew up?

I thought the 323 gave up

 

[Natey]

FC. Zee clutch. She's pffft.

 

[KpaBap]

oh pffft you had me going for a sec

 

[KpaBap]

I was gonna recommend a shop to do your clutch replacement at but I realized towing to Sunnyvale might not be the most economical thing. Unless you have AAA Gold or whatever...

 

[alexlitov]

AAA Plus = 100 miles of towing...

 

[alexlitov]

Natey, sucks about your clutch.

 

[jrodhotrod]

damn Natey... I swear sometimes you have the worst of luck with cars. But at least the clutch went out in a blaze of glory and the FC will be better than ever with a new one

 

[KpaBap]

Yeah maybe you'll get a few weeks without shudder (hippy)

 

[BFMRGTX]

Yes, the clutch-chatter issue has been dealt with. Now begins the great FC build-up.

ACT clutch
Mr. Olympia's left leg- pressure plate
Lightened Flywheel.

w00t!

 

[Natey]

Yup.
-Clutch
-Flywheel
-LSD
-5 Lug Swap

POW! I'll be teh w1nn@r! Once those little things are done, the RX-7's gonna be a fun car. It really ran well last night. That, I'll give it. Oh Yeah, almost forgot one little detail...

-Suspension

The good news is, parts are super-cheap. The 5 lug swap should cost about 50-75 bucks, and I've already found more than one ACT for around 250 w/ everything included.

w00t!
