[Low Level E30]

[So Live]

I love the ECU under the windshield wiper.

Congrats. I remember that feeling.

Sounds just like my car, now if only my car would run! LOL

Sounds awesome, but it also sounds like the clutch is slipping pretty badly. If its a new clutch I'd put some easy miles on it before you hammer it or you're going to have issues.

It's called open header :)

could be wheelspin? the open header would easily drown that out.

He's talking about when he shifts, you could hear the engine note sort of drop before rising again.

It's probably just that he's not shifting correctly. Since he was going through the gears it sounds like he wasn't engaging the clutch fast enough for his right foot.

I have a friend that does this every once in a while when driving.

yes guys its wheelspin. not the clutch slipping.
But u are right i should take it easy before hamering it since its a new clutch on a new flywheel.

No, it's the clutch slipping.

Last time I checked, when I get wheel spin, my RPM's shoot up.:roll:

clutches have no break in period, that's a myth

No, that's a fact. But you're welcome to do whatever you want to your clutch.
