Hmmm.. Can't wait for the pics!

RCZ - How is your clutch holding up?

ZForce · 10-03-2010, 12:34 PM

Post pics of the failed H&R spacer. This was the 15mm or 20mm? I had heard that tracking with wheel spacers could have some issues. Is there any truth to this or was someone blowing hot air up my tires?

RCZ · 10-04-2010, 04:07 PM

I never got a chance to track with the spacer on. I've spent too long getting the car ready to handle the abuse.

Clutch is fine. Every now and then I get a little play at the top of the pedal and the engagement gets very close to the floor. Then I drive around for 10 minutes and its fixed for another few days. Its on and off, but nothing major. Its not the clutch's fault though, I have a strong feeling that its the fluid system and not the clutch itself.

I've interested in seeing the carnage of the wheel spacers too.

Thx RCZ.

On another note, I could have sworn HP Logic was a vendor on the forum. Where did they go? Or am I looking over them....

My H&R spacers have withstood a pretty tough autoX with no problems so far. We'll see how they do at Road America in two weeks!

I auto-x'd with them several times without issue. So it either failed on the 500 mile drive to the track (a couple of bad roads en-route) or at the track during the first few sessions.

I'll get a pic up soon, I've been busy and lazy.

Was it a single spacer that failed or multiple?

Just one. It was installed on a front wheel.

Well that's a little more reassuring. Hopefully it was just a dud. If you said all four of them sheared off...well, then I'd be more nervous.

Good news on the H&R spacers, thx for the feedback!

RCZ · 10-04-2010, 08:09 PM

I don't know about HP Logic. I don't keep in touch with them anymore.

How are the new rotors working for you?

RCZ · 10-06-2010, 06:47 PM

Rotors are awesome. Coupled with the new lines, fluid and pads it makes for a very solid and confidence inspiring feel. Don't know how much of it is due to the rotors, but the brake pedal feels pretty good even on street pads. I'm dying to try out this setup on the track. Hopefully soon. Thinking the street pads aren't going to hold, so I might have to break my mod hiatus for some race pads. Gonna see if I can borrow a set of 350z wheels on slicks from a friend.

Oh and they look awesome!
