You know anyone selling a good bucket seat for a good price? Lol

Bucket seats wont help any, They would be worse than the 40th/touring seats lol. If anything she needs one of those memory foam pillows behind her back for the ride. I told you that my dad will do some work on her and she will feel much better. He said he isn't charging you guys anything either porque estan los amigos.

Yeah I know I've told her that and she doesn't want to. I've reasoned everything with her and well idk what it is about people she knows directly that she doesn't want them to be hooking her up because she doesn't want them to think she's only using them or something... I'll just look into a back pillow.

And it sounds like a great idea but... do it with someone else? Lol

Would she feel better if we make you pay for it?

Either that or after she feels better from the treatment she can wash the Z's haha

I'm doing a run up the backside of Angeles Forest on Sunday, up to Newcomb's Ranch for a bite, look at some bikes, cars, etc.

Test out the rebuilt Z1 fuca's

I'll be at the 7-11 on Oro Vista & Foothill by 10a...leaving by 10:30 at the latest.

I run with a V1

I wouldn't have my wifey doing something like that, sir.

And I asked her and she still says no. It's nothing personal, she's just not comfy :/ can't do much about that haha. Anyway we'll figure something out, I shot you a text.

That's fine, well then you get to make the trip up and blast whatever music you want and drive how fast you want without hearing it from the wife

FairladyZ40th · 05-03-2016, 11:44 PM

Oh she loves the speed more than I do XD lol she constantly wants me to join others free spirited driving but any way. Yeah I'll make plans once I can get my car fixed X) haha which may be soon depending on the weather

Of course eggs you on to join others in spirited driving freely, its not her licensing getting suspended/revoked haha

As for love of the speed, lets keep away from drug talk... lol jk

What the heck is wrong with the car now?

Lmao you're pure comedy bruh XD haha. She's still learning life brother we can't blame her

we were like that once too

hehe. And the cars clutch us been bad for the longest time man I still haven't fixed it

but I will very soon I've already got everything in mind. I'm gonna get the HD CSC w/the zsp insulated stainless steel clutch line and the JWT clutch, flywheel kit with he NISMO pilot bushing.

What you think? Haha.

Now I've noticed my suspension on the driver side is screwed up also

. And I still haven't even installed the mishimoto thermostat, the quantum pump e85 compatible 340lph pump not the copper spark plugs -.- which completely just gives me sand in my vag.

Very true cannot do so haha

And you know I just went through all that crap too. All the 100k mile maintenance crap just coming through. The clutch flywheel and pressure plate and hdcsc looks to be an alright setup, it will definitely be a lot less aggressive on clutch engagement than my ACT setup I went with. As for the hdcsc compared to the csc elim kit, imo it's worth the extra $100 to me to know I pretty much won't have another issue. Plus it looks as if Z1 includes much more support and structure to the actual cylinder columns and clutch/transmission system. Feels that way too compared to before.

https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...it-p-7340.html

Just make sure you select the correct clutch type and just go with the Motul RBF600.
I would also suggest you look into getting the pulley system redone too if you haven't. Added stress from pop of the clutch and learning the new resistance could possibly leave you with the same situation I was left.

As for the "suspension issue", Have you bought the SPC or SPL rear camber arms (doesn't really matter which brand). If you haven't it could be as simple as needing a wheel alignment. The oem rear camber arms max out within slight adjustment. To be able to get the wider range and align the wheels those need to be replaced.
If that doesn't help at all you could be looking at the coilovers being done from wear and tear which would be a pretty penny.

Jebis, ok.

This is excellent, which is why I wanted to touch base with you on it haha. So are you telling me the ACT is better than JWT? Because I thought as long as I stay away from SPEC (the only clutch known to kill the HD CSC) and XTD ($hit brand) then it would be damn nearly the same set up?

I definitely want the insulated clutch line so does the ACT offer it with their kit? As for the elimination kit does that mean an extra buck on labor by any chance?

I'll definitely look into the pulley system but does that mean I may need like 100% new pulleys? Like buy the light weight all over again?

As for suspension. Nah man, when I turn left or brake hard enough the front driver side sinks a whole heck of a lot more than the pass ever side. Plus it's starting to sound like something is loose some where when I drive over the reflectors and my alignment looses alignment like 3 days later. I know getting the arms will benefit anyway and it's all part of the suspension but... Well I still have a clutch to fix X) so we'll keep it at that for now haha. I am going to get the arms though before the coilovers. I was thinking of getting springs and installing that first too then worry about the shocks. Thoughts?

Every brand of clutch has different resistances for different stages of their clutch. There are also different feelings from having different flywheels and pressure plates. If you're going to do the HDCSC I would stay away from Spec just due to the known failures.

The extra buck spent on labor for either HDCSC or z1 elim kit, the HDCSC would take less time due to less parts from what I understand. Then again, paying for things to be done correctly and with the better parts does cost more. Also coming from someone whose had the HDCSC and then upgraded to the z1 elim kit, I do prefer the feel overall to the z1 elim kit.

I would assume if you have done the lightweight pulleys and have also done the new pulley belt you should be okay there, I would make sure it is still in good condition and not glazed in anyway yet.

As for the suspension, the reason why your alignment lasts 3 days is cause you're running OEM rear camber arms. Like I said they max in adjustment very quickly and driving as much as you do speeds up the process of wearing off the alignment. If you get the rear camber arms from SPC or SPL that will help the alignment problem.
As for the dipping of one side or the other, it does sound like coilovers, but its odd how they would go out on one side. I could also see if being a brake issue, not probable but possible.

As for the process of your suspension dilemma, I would have it diagnosed to figure out if the coilovers are the problem, if they are they fix those first. If its not then fix the issue, and then do the rear camber arms and lowering springs. After that do the coilovers and go with something good like the KW v3's instead of some piece of crap that you need to upgrade to swift springs to have any benefit.

Overall, take care of the clutch issue first. kinda need that to drive

Na man fu<k the clutch, I don't even know why people bother fixing them they're no big deal! Hahaha X) yeah alrighty I think I am going to do the elim Kit

and definitely do more research into my suspension and camber. I appreciate the input birdman.

Also, idk if it's the brakes, I looked at them recently and they had little over 50% and I resurfaced the rotors. I'd also like to add I've probably hit a few pot holes

luckily I'm not dropping my car.
