B16's Time Trial Road Racing Del Sol Overhaul Thread!!!

[B16]

Replaced the master and slave, no go.. Started pulling the tranny again last night, should have it completely out by tonight to re-asses what the F is going on with this POS.

The Autozone axles I got already lost all the grease in their boots. Thinking of replacing them with OEM or raxles.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Just keep replacing with AZ axles- lifetime free = good stuff.

 

[B16]

They lasted one race..

 

[phunky.buddha]

Doh.

 

[Dual-500]

Boots leak? Split? Wahhappened? Are they that shitty quality? Or is the application - load, heat, etc. that demanding?

 

[Magana559]

I can usually run AZ axles for about 16 runs down the strip without any issues, the ones I have on the teg now have seen 20+ runs

 

[B16]

Boots split on both axles. :/

wy not get some DSS axles?

 

[B16]

I've heard some bad stories about DSS. People in HC seem to love raxles or oem. I'll see what my Honda discount looks like compared to raxles.

I think I found the problem with my clutch. I don't think my pressure plate is supposed to have that metal piece sticking out, I think it is part of the spring... Sucks, this clutch is less than a year old and has only 2 track days on it!

 

[Dual-500]

Looks like you scrambled it's eggs....

ACT 2600?

curious due to the yellow pressure plate. and your clutch plate should be fine. maybe you could post a WTB and just get a used one?

 

[Briansol]

broken? time to upgrade to a dogbox!

Yup, that be the one!

Good idea, I might do that. The clutch disc and flywheel are in great condition still.

 

[B16]

Ordered a competition 6 puck sprung clutch. Should be here tomorrow or the day after. Also ordered OE axles from HPD.

Also ordered OE axles from HPD.

Isn't that discount awesome?

 

[B16]

Isn't that discount awesome?

It was until I saw the core charge + shipping = $200 alone. So I canceled that order and am weighing my options.

 

[awptickes]

Axles require a core? That sucks.

 

[B16]

Axles require a core? That sucks.

My thoughts exactly..

That takes most of the fun out of it.

 

[GSRCRXsi]

Who cares about the core. You'll get the $$ back. Just sent them your shit autozone axles
