Finally broke the car racing
« on: September 20, 2012, 06:50:52 AM »
Went rallyX-ing in muskegon last weekend and 1st hot lap I broke the car.

I wasn't sure what gear I wanted to be in either 1st or 2nd and then I come around a really soft sandy section and I knew I wanted to be in 1st so I tried popping her down a gear (because I was in second) then I accidentally put it in 3rd and almost got stuck so then I threw it back into 1st pretty hard and finished the run but when I stopped I stalled it and then I did some diag and found that I wasn't releasing the clutch,

here is why:



a piece or two was wedged in there so it wouldnt release lol.

no biggy, I got a back up disc that I already put in, hopefully get the trans in today (weather permitting) and then have it ready for the 29ths race by lansing.

always good to have a spare to toss in when you break the clutch.  I look forward to haering how the 29th goes.

An RX-7 is like having a slut as a gf! She will love you, but she will also screw around with the guy at the parts store, most of the local cops, your insurance agent, your apex seals, your bank account and your credit card!!!
