Yep! That is on the list for when the stockers go, or I feel like writing a check (whichever comes first!)...
The mechanic called and asked if he could take it around the block to check out the clutch feel. When I went to pick it up he said "Holy hell. That thing GOES."

Did you not follow the clutch breakin instructions? You need at least 3-500 easy miles on that thing before getting on it.

Yeah I know, I should probably go easier - though John@Z1 told me it was fine to drive hard, just no powershifting or burnouts so I assume a little fun here and there is OK =)

I'd try to avoid hard acceleration too.

I know I know... I am going to try to be good. I didn't boost barely at all on the way to work this morning! =)

My kit has arrived! WOOOOOP!
 

Just get on a loop freeway on cruise control and burn threw a tank of gas.

That must suck so bad!! All that power and can't use it. Unkle Ben was right in your case, "WITH GREAT POWERADE COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY."

I don't believe that counts for the clutch break in. Pretty sure it needs shifting and varied RPM's to break in correctly. That is how it has always been explained to me. which sucks but they're kinda expensive to burn up every year so...:driving:

Yup. Needs stop and go city driving for a few hundred miles. All about those engagements!

I went to adjust the pedal last night and it looks like the height of the cruise switch is already maxed out (mechanic must have adjusted it). I contemplated allowing additional travel forward by backing out the clutch switch, but the lock nut is so tight the bracket wants to bend when I try to loosen it - though there isn't much more than 1/2" to be gained there anyway.

Right now the end of the clutch engagement window is about 1/2" off the full forward travel, so it works fine, just feels way low compared to stock and if I am not paying attention I send out the "MT Noob Alert" to the cars around me in the form of a gear grind.

I will get used to it, I think.. I also assume as the clutch breaks in and the fingers loosen up, the engagement will require slightly less pressure so the window should rise up just a little bit (less expansion on the lines, etc.. ) Does that sound right to you guys?

jwick - were you able to use the stainless clutch line that comes with the Z1 kit? My mechanic couldn't figure a place for it to go (had a banjo end... no banjo connections to be found).

Probably should have ordered the zspeed SS line.

No. I didn't use it because the ZSpeed HD CSC came with the SS line attached to it. I ended up selling the Z1 SS line to a local member on here.

I'll be honest I don't think the engagement window or pedal pressure has changed any from when it was first installed.

I vote RJM Clutch Pedal next!

Thanks for that.... I wasnt gonna buy the SS line from CZP because the clutch kit from Z1 comes with one.

This is what you need to do. It is the engagement/disengagement that breaks the clutch in so cruising around with your cruise control on would be a waste of time and gas.

Sorry, but I must disagree. Anytime spent driving a Z is not wasted time. However, I do agree that cruising will not break in a clutch but it is still fun. ;)
