[Larone]

Simply unbelieveable. I give you much respect Wes. You're really leaving no stones unturned!

Focus, did you ever figure out if the rad fits the iON IC? Thanks

 

[Focus]

I believe there is enough play to get it in there.

 

[Wesman II]

its looking good for VIR. Tow vehicle (marauder) is in the shop for brakes.

 

[mazdaowner123]

Awesome! I'd love to get a ride in your car on friday if you're free. I've never been in an msp with some power hehe. This weekend is going to be great. What run group are you in?

My shiny new Bully six puck clutch is destroyed after 1200 miles. The axles are f**ked up too. The cir-clip has come loose and destroyed the splines on the passenger side. Its looking like installer error, but driveshaftshop.com has asked me to ship it back for them to look at. I have the stock axles back in, and its looking like the stock clutch will have to go back in. Anybody recommend a strong clutch?
Also I boiled the transmission fluid doing a 1 hour session at Mosport. It came out the breather cap at the top of the trans. My shop is trying to figure out a trans cooler setup for me.

s*** man that sucks..... hope everything works out for you.

OK Bully is being decidedly unhelpful. They have offered to sell me a new stage 4, 4 puck for $750 through their local distributor, no discount, no promise it will work, nothing. Thing is I'm f**ked because the car is apart on a lift at a raceshop and I need it for a trackday this Friday at Gingerman!!!!

Did you dyno the car while it was working? I don't know if you will get all that done by Friday man..... but again.... good luck.

 

[Wesman II]

No not yet. It's right at the limit of the stock fuel system at 14psi. I can watch the wideband lean out above 5000rpm. I run it around 9-10 for trackdays.
I ordered the new stage 4 four puck clutch for $750 it had better last.

I have a 4 puck sintered iron clutch from Bully. It actually works too well. If you don't rev high enough it will chatter.

I guess that's what I'm getting. It that what broke your trans? I mean is the clutch so tough now you broke a gear?
