Why do the good things always happens to other people? My wife is South American catholic and if this happens to us, I could easily convince her god wanted us to get new suspension and I might even be able to slip in a cat back exhaust if I was really clever (something I'm not known for).

Unfortunately in order for us to buy a home here in the Bay Area, we have to tighten our belts and choose wisely on what we get.

I hear you! I was starting to get bored of C-Stock and after installing the Koni's I wanted something a little more. However, GOV budget cuts and military reductions are making me play it safe just in case I get told to go home and find a new line of work.

Just burn a picture of a catback in the wall with a BBQ lighter and spill some red paint in tear drop formations around it in a circle.


God has definitely been to your garage.

Well no leaks on the suspension, so I just have to suck it up and wait for rescue next month with new parts

Apollo8642 10-31-2013 11:16 AM

That's good news, so what new parts did you decide to go with?

cossie1600 10-31-2013 08:42 PM

Just coilovers and sway at this point

I have no idea what you are saying.

Crazy man

Maybe I jumped the gun. I went back down on the tire pressure for the rs3, car grip a lot better. It's amazing how much more pressure I have to run on the re11 vs rs3.

Speaking of car wearing out. The last two track days I have noticed occasional clutch or diff slipperage. On occasion where I have either too much wheelspin or quick shifts, I can see RPM just stay up and the car would take a second or two to reengage. Is that a sign of the clutch or the diff going?

Thanks

Could be wheel spin too. You would have to look at your speedo and tach to see. If the rpms are raising a lot faster then your speedo. Then you know.

cossie1600 11-04-2013 10:10 AM

It's something not catching, most likely clutch. I wonder if the srm pull more stress on the clutch

Apollo8642 11-04-2013 01:54 PM

Stock clutch still? My stock clutch started slipping at around 15k at anything at 6500 rpms and above. That was with a lot of different drivers, track and autox days. Then I boiled my clutch fluid this summer, but thought the CSC failed, and decided to replace everything.
If your looking for a replacement, this is I went this direction, and I'm really happy with it. I'm still on the fence if I should have gone with the aluminum flywheel or if the light weight steel one that I got is better.

I have a lot too, but I usually go solo, so I am still good at 27k. I do feel the srm is causing the problem by holding the rpm on up shifts though. Oh f, more crap to replace
