how good is the clyde now its been re-sealed! And they must have put a phone tower up too, because i get reception there now :-)

spotted a ferrari something, lotus exige, nsx but still no skylines in melbourne. Maybe today's adventures will change that.

Happy new year everyone!

meh am I the only one who finds the clyde boring? not that interesting a road

I just don't think you have ever got to drive it fast enough :P

In saying that, you don't have to go ridiculous, speed limit can be plenty, just you hardly ever get a clean run at it

My last trip i got a clean run both ways up and down the clyde, it really is a fun piece of road!!!

for some reason tho my rear wheels always go faster than my fronts, and my car seems to not go straight, coming out of government bend going up hill... :P

    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
    • ^^ It's a valid point. Sometimes you (and in this case, I) stand too close to the problem to see the solution. The oil control thread eventually came to a recommendation about running lines from cam covers and sump to the catch can.
