screemin eagle Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Phill Nope shifts like a huge turd. I'll just smash it in and hope the shift fork survives.

lionking Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 My driveshaft still broken, if not I would be there.....pushing the hell out of my car and maybe something else will brake down - You love them when they are running and You hate them when they brake down.

screemin eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Lion I pretty much have a consistent dislike for the car. Phil I did it are you happy now? Unfortunately I discovered the pedal hole is egged along with the other thing I made solid. Clutch feels more responsive now. Unfortunately I did it with the car already on the trailer so haven't really test driven it yet. Hope fully this pail of turds goes 11's. I doubt it.

Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 what clutch? How do you check for clutch freeplay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Falcon six puck unsprung with an act 3200 pressure plate. How I usually adjust the clutch is set it in the middle. Engage the clutch while running and rev the car to around 4or 5k rpms if the car doesn't start to creep I know I have full disengagement of the clutch. I will also repeat the same steps to find where the clutch starts to drag while the pedal is pressed. Also while checking the free play in the pedal. I do this until I find my sweet spot of how I like it. The clutch has always been finacky since I put the car together. I really think the flywheel needs a new friction surface. It has been discontinued from what a few vendors have told me.old school fidanza fwd flywheel very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 okay, thats what I do, Only I do it with tires off the ground. Man begins to show creep around 6500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Problem with the fidanza is the friction disc tends to curl up creating interference. Have seen it on a couple abused units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 On top of that, it has a protruded friction surface to begin with. atleast on the 2.6 unit. So that takes away from airgap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's recessed iirc also the dsm flywheel is steped. Even if it isn't they compensate for it in the step height. I honestly don't like the flywheel it's too light. I want to say its like 9lbs or something like that. Very annoying to street drive with my clutch. Oh well we shall see what it doesn't do tomorrow. I brought spare axles if the car decides to hook. What pressure do you run your ET streets at? I was at 18psi last year and was cutting a 1.8 1.7 60' with plenty of wheel spin.

lionking Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Regular flywheel is about 28 lbs , the light flywheel is 9 lbs, I when in the middle with 17 lbs which works perfect on my stage 4 clutch maybe that's why I broke my driveshaft on a burnout - broke off both Ujoints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 SE, radial or bias ply? LK, what Ujoints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not radial. The tubed ones that I don't run tubes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I run 10.5psi in mine. If I were you, Id start at 14psi and go down in .5 increments. Keep it above 12 otherwise youll kill those axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 11.96 @120 so far 1.7 60' with no timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) AWESOME! Should be able to see low 11's with that trap speed. Edited October 19, 2013 by Funky Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
