track day with slipping clutch
SO i went to the track a couple weeks ago with a slipping clutch but went anyway only because i had all the parts for clutch sitting in bed room waiting to be installed.
Parts are
Exedy triple disc, new oem tob, map cmc and redline cocktail fluid just sitting there waiting.
So a little story behind the clutch
I just got the last part i needed in the very next day the clutch starts to slip a little. Then track day came up Im like oh crap i have to go, so went to track slipping clutch and all.
FIrst run just rolled out to see what the car would do ended up running a 14.09 at 110.95 0-60ft was 3.15 haha
I was pretty suprised at the MPH so i ran again and did a little launch like 4k ended up running a 12.69 at 112.50 0-60ft was 2.18
So last chance of the day one more run going ***** out full launch and all I knew the clutch was going to slip but just did it to see. I was next to a new 5.0 mustang so i had to do what i could to beat him. so I launched it hard clutch slipped bad let off caught and then got back into it ended up running a 12.63 at 112.84 0-60 was 2.03 and yes i beat the mustang haha he ran a 12.7 at 113.07 0-60 was 2.10 It was a fun race so worth it....
Now trip home this track is 2 hours away from my house so 2 hours there and 2 hours back.
On the way home clutch was slipping and by time i got home had to hit 7500 rpm to get it to move so clutch is toasted now.... SO into the shop she went got a exedy triple disc installed with map cmc and front motor mount and left and right motor mount inserts installed...
New 1/4mile time to come have not had a chance to hit the track again since new clutch i got 150 miles on the new clutch....
Can not wait to hit the track again..... TO BE CONTINUED !!!!!!!
