If you want why dont you just throw in a street disc from act? im sure your pressure plate and flywheel are fine you just fried the stock disc? its a cheap fix and more of a band-aid but atleast you will be able to enjoy the car for a while until you can afford a whole new clutch? It will last you a while as long as your not constantly launching it and beating it to death. The factory pressure plate from what i heard is a 2600 lb. and is good its just the clutch disc mitsu uses is totaly weak for obvious reasons?

Plus since your doing the work yourself then labor cost wont kill you.....and it will be some practice for when you do a twin disk or something?

just a thought?

Me too!! Do cops watch that big parking lot at north park in the winter when it snows? That would be an excellant place since its where they have auto-x anyway? Just a thought, I still need to find a nice safe place for winter fun around here..........

In college we used to go down to this one shopping center and setup a little course and have some fun...Cops never bothered us, maybe they figured we werent out drinking, doing drugs, and having unprotected sex? so they just left us alone

cops in north park are like flies on ****.

they cruise through the autox at least 15 times a day.

they're county and their barracks is right by there, so if someone isn't have gay buttsex in a grover they have nothing to do but harass people.

yeah i figured.... We can mess around country roads and go do whatever and never see any cops back from where im from. Around here every freakin borough/township has a police force and it seems they have nothing better to do than pull people over for 45 in 35's. Its so ridiculous and a total waste of money.....

N.W.A got it right the first time.....****em!

21+ 10 dollar cover, all the beer you can drink, and all the food you can eat.

here is the link with the rest of the info. it is in a house right across from the VIP parking lot i believe.

I got the ACT XTSS and ACT flywheel. Feels pretty good - I think it might need adjusted just slightly, but can't tell for sure until I can consistantly hit full boost.

I'll tell you the best place that I have gone a few times for some "fun" is meeting up with the Cobalt/SS guys out at Pep Boys in Gbg, doing some runs against anything that comes by, and then heading down to the Mt. Pleasant Wal Mart and doing some good runs on 119. Those guys are young (at least to my old *** LOL) but they are actually pretty cool. Their cars are actually pretty quick - none have beat me, but they beat a lot of other stuff. Plus when you get down to Wal Mart, they are mostly Mustangs - lots of fun

Anyway, 119 would be a good place to make some videos. Let me know if anything is going on.

Show them up why? They are actually pretty cool. Given, they originally thought they were gonna pull on me, but I put them in their place It's a lot of fun - more fun than standing at the Waterfront since we actually get some runs in instead of running inside for the night. Plus, they are out all the time and if they say they are coming, they come! Hell they are out somewhere probably 5 nights out of the week, and half of them are from the other side of Pittsburgh - I'd say they are enthusiasts so I'm not sure what you are going to "show them up" on?

Did you get a big turbo yet Eric? I forget - I think I saw a post that you were getting one but I wasn't sure if you did or not. Still running the Al flash? Have you done any logging on that tune? I ended up seeing a lot of knock on mine after logging it for a few nights.

sound like fun meets. However i seem to enjoy our current set up, we just need to get more cars to show up. If they are so hardcore, like you say they are. I am sure they will be able to make it to the meets we hold every other 2 weeks. I would have NO problem with other cars coming.

To each his own Steve...I was telling Dan and Eric because they are out this way and because I know they both like to run for fun.

I guess I should have stayed out of this thread like I have been doing since all that is discussed is the difference in dynos and how no one shows up at meets.
