Next Saturday is a No No for myself.

good thing this was postponed. we would have spent more then half the day sitting around waiting to run.
It is very wet outside. Kinda stopped raining here around 11 am. Sun popping in and out, but everything is soaked after the last few days of rain.
Our local forecast still calls for spotted rain the remainder of the day and is currently 73F now.
Hopefully next saturday will be cooler then today and dry!!!

+1. Went from 68-70F yesterday to 43F and rainy today. FWIW, the MTs seem to tolerate rain a lot better than Nittos.

His is working flawlessly to this day behind a high ouput engine.

Bottom line, drive it like you drive it!
Don't worry about the tranny anymore.

I'll see if we can get some photos to you of your paper clutches. You were living on borrowed time.

Ahmad...how is the tranny? Is the car up and running yet? Give us some R&R tips and tricks.

It shifts pretty firm. I havent really been able to do any spirited driving because of the weather and the times I have taken it out it gets sideways and is hard to experience a WOT shift lol. The car is up and running, the kleemann LSD actually wasn't broken but I put the quaife in it anyway. Gonna sell the kleemann LSD. If you have some free time, come out and drive it and tell me what you think.
