Still granny shifting and not double clutching when you should...

Maybe you should put an auto in it..

Funny enough, I have to double clutch the thing sometimes. The carbon twin plate clutch seems to be expanding under heat (which is what they 'do' apparently) causing it to not enter the gate and grind a bit into gear. Not sure exactly what's going on as it only happens when the clutch is hot at the track.

I will have to change the slave cylinder first hoping for a slight improvement at least.

You going to have the Atoyot ready Dave?

needs to learn to corner like raCECAR, not a v8 street driver.

Pretty sad the Stagea is faster around corners. lol. The Evo feels like a boat in comparison. I have been assured when the reds go in it will be magically transformed into said racecar. :P

we had stock shocks on at sandown didnt we? did you get a rear sway sorted too? it was under steering a bit, (nothing compared to the wrstix boat)

The stock shocks and springs are well flogged, it sits 2 inches higher on the passenger side with no-one in it.

I will be sticking with factory swaybars for now, no funds for those after buying the coilovers.

My single was getting warm at track and not fully disengaging, presume clutch fluid is fresh and pedal adjusted?

Works fine on the road, no problems driving it soft, but at high revs (8k) I get lockout. Pretty common in the evos apparently. The evo clutch master gets it's fluid from the brake master, so it's got new race fluid in it.

When I change hard and fast for a few gears the clutch gets bad, completely locking me out of any gear for up to a minute or so (till it cools down I guess, never seen it before.) I have vac bled it a few times, but I suspect the seal is weeping in the slave or perhaps the clutch pedal isn't adjusted well like you said.

It does have the restrictor in the clutch line at the slave still, but I was told that's fine. I might piss it off and change the slave anyway.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
