Re: Another reason I love my wife

Why don't they just make the phenolic spacers in metal? I didn't even know they were made in plastic. I still have one sitting around from QPR back in the day.

Re: Another reason I love my wife

What metal do you suggest they use? It must not transmit heat while being slightly crushable. I'm happy with my "plastic" one, its held up just fine to plenty of miles and a few auto-x events.

Heh I've never been to the track and dunno if I ever will. With this southbend clutch and it's ability to fuse to the flywheel, the car doesn't get launched. Maybe a little ghey, but the car is my DD anyways Plus, I prolly wouldn't be as concerned about ET as I would mph. Either way, thanks for the vote of confidence you foker! :P

Your car being down for over 2 months wasn't within your control?

Nope. Not when the turbo was gone, and PTE didn't respond back to calls or emails from me or bill at MAP. Not like I'm a balla like you guys, and can just go buy another 1,200 dollar turbo to throw on the car

Re: Another reason I love my wife

Thanks Curt! Just trying to take it in stride and keep this thing on the road as my DD. I added a second alky jet for extra cooling and octane to help keep it reliable, but I can't help but think from time to time about just leaving the alky off, selling the kit, and using the money towards a nice double-din headunit/navi system and just keep the thing super-duper reliable. 375+whp is a freaking fun car!

These thoughts go away about 1.2 seconds after I flip the alky back on and Mr. Hyde takes over

OOOORRRR!!!

Sell, it, get your navi, and tune on e85! You'll make the same/more power, and cheap gas, cool, reliable! Problem solved!

Re: Another reason I love my wife

E85 is a PITA to get for me, and while it may not have directly caused my original HG failure, I had more issues when running it than when I was not running it. PITA + sudden issues = a turn off for me! Once I get on the dyno I think I'll be really happy where the car is as it sits.
