Has the hydralic line from the master to the slave been replaced?

I would look at the stuff that has not been replaced.

I don't think so, but it's def possible. Why would the issue only crop up once the engine/car is warm though and has been running for a while?

This little s.o.b was leaking like crazy. Yes, that is apparently an "oil cooler". My heat transfer class begs to differ, but w/e


Go us! Time to put it back together.



.....This is dumb.

Those oil coolers leak because the oil filter gets overtightened, and then when you try to loosen it, the cooler spins and it tears up the O-ring. Brilliant design...

If the rubber is deteriorated it may be causing a problem. Not saying it is the problem; just didn't see it in your list. The only things that are really affected by engine heat are the clutch and slave.

Does it ever leak any fluid? When the clutch pedal goes to the floor, is the clutch still engaged?

[iamsam]

No, Sam, You Can Not Haz.

aaarrgh, dang it....

I have only been to a couple meets with these guys, so I don't know them all that well. I remember hearing from one guy how he was getting brake fade from racing between stoplights in his E36 M3 (w/ teh M50 Manifoldz!!1!!) that he was still making payments on. Real smart.

Who is this directed to? LOL.

I'm not sure if it's leaking fluid, but the clutch is still engaged when it goes to the floor. Dad has to yank it out of gear into neutral when it decides to do it.

Not you, actually (dude, 2009?). Some guy Garrett and I met in 08 at a Sonic Meet in Boulder, who was paying off a loan on a cosmos coupe and making a huge deal about his m50 manifold and brake fade from being a tard between streetlights.

Ah, I was hoping it was someone I knew.

Just was browsing an old thread lol.

Back to the spring discussion, what do you think about this?

Is that a good price? Will I still need the E90 hats to drop the front? I really want the sports, not the races. I drive on i-270 every time I go to work. Will I have to re-name my car the tooth chipper?

[blefevre]

Well that link is for H&R races with billys. Turner sells H&R sports + billys for around 700 shipped. They are by no means the cheapest either. I am pretty sure blunt can get the kit for cheaper.

If you are concerned about ride quality get the sports and add drop hats later if you need to go lower.

$675 + shipping??? That is how much I paid for my H&R Races and Billy Sports brand new!!

Also, H&R Race aren't THAT stiff... I run em every day through Boulder (read- crap roads) and my teeth are all still there!

Also, the sport springs are like $100 less than the Race springs...

[Cloudbase]

Yeah knew they were Races. I'll email Blunt.

[Cloudbase]

Emailed. Thinking the BF Goodrich KDW tires are too much. Plus I'm thinking of getting something less grippy so my work commute is more fun. Any suggestions?

[iamsam]

for DD commute, get cheap w/ high treadwear
