Dan, sorry about the troubles man, it sounds like the clutch isn't bled completely. Sometimes the QM push bearing can be a b1tch to bleed. The best method I have used to bleed the push bearing is the crack open the bleeder a little bit, put a cup or pan underneath the bleeder and let it gravity bleed for about 15-20 minutes (keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir and keep it full)

After that, close the bleeder and pump the clutch about 10 times, then open the bleeder once again and with your hand push the clutch pedal very slowly to the floor, once it reaches the floor, leave the pedal there and go back and close the bleeder. Then pull the clutch pedal back up and pump it a few more times. Then go drive it and see if it helped or not. If not then you might have to adjust the pedal under the dash, very simple to do. There are some threads on here explaining how to adjust the pedal.

 

Craig thanks alot. i tried really hard and i had alot of stupid issues with the damn car this hole trip. my idle control valve took a crap. my boost controller was all messed up, and a few other things. the tune and the mechanical portion of the car was spot on other then the clutch. felt strange before i left but i could not remember what the new one felt like before so i just ran it. o well. i drove the car there through some nasty rain. i delt with my issues and i still tried 2 passes. i am now home and im going to continue to do what i love to do. the car is going back to ivey to finish up the 100oct tune and then we are hitting the track to do this right.

thanks alot. yea im not sure what the deal is. i need to learn this crap though. on the way home it started to come out of gear rough when i shifted. as if it was not fully disengaging or something. like i said above. fix and keep going.

 

At the track. 1.78 60 and a 10.53. But I trapped 140.36. I don't understand why my e/t is slower but I'm faster.

This is on 100oct.

Gonna make another pass

 

Ok. I did 10.41 @ 141.53 witty a 1.71 60 foot. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I'm done for the night. I made like 8 passes

 

Good going Dan, there is more.

Sean

 

thanks sean.

here is my 10.41 @ 141.53 + a lame burn out. as i watch this vid VS my 10.37 @ 137 i seem to be shifting just fine. something else has to be holding the E/T back but yet gaining more MPH. i dont understand. ''you can here i hit rev limiter at the end of the track. passing the line at 9000 rpm. but IMO it is not what held me back VS my 10.37 on pump.

here is my 10.5 @ 140.32 without hitting the rev limiter

what am i doing wrong. anyone?

 

141mph on 100ct!!! Nice job man! Awesome...My car will be back together in 2 weeks...I will definitely meet up with you at Island...

 

Sounds like its time for some better tires...you need to drop the 60 fts down to 1.5s and you would be knocking on 9s I think....

 

yea that should also clear up anyone's douts on if i really was on pump gas or not too. 137 to 141 is a nice step with a little more room left to go on 100oct. i just dont understand the pump gas 10.37 with 1.68 60 foot to a ''100oct'' 10.41 with a 1.71 60. my 140 trap was 1.78 60 foot. something is goofy.

i made 8 passes.

 

i know im working on that. but i dont think that is my issue. 1.68 to 1.71 does not add up to .04 slower yet 4 mph faster. i figure it should be going 10.200 at least.

 

Time for tire change Dan. MPH is there.

Get some better tires and claim your 9sec pass

 

i REALLY want 9.9s on these tires as is. when sean tunes for E85 and we do the evo/sti race then i will have slicks.

maybe im suborn or just blind. but how does .04 60 foot difference make for a .30 or better E/T that should have happened? 141s i expected a 10.2 at least. i was up till 445AM last night thinking about it. i couldnt sleep. haha

 

post your full time slip on the old best vs your current runs, maybe it's in the 1/8th mile signaling a slow shift or shift point difference that's hurting the e.t there which cannot be made up or improved in the 1/4 with the same power as before.

 

Ok I will post it up when I get home. But by watching the Vids it seems I'm shifting well. Ill post up. Good idea. That will show on paper vs vid

 

Dan you just never stop to impress me! Congrats on the new MPH, lower ET's are just around the corner!
