Lol, I guess taking the trans back off is an easy fix...

I did it to my friends 04' Cobra this week to just change his throwout bearing. Took us 8 hours total because we were running around to get stuff we needed to do it since we were in his garage instead of shop.

But we should only take 2-3 hours to change my slave since we are doing it at a shop with all necessary tools.

oh damn.... the slave cylinder sits inside the housing??.... that really sucks!!! bummer man... well how did it feel for that 1/2 mile?

Well I only got into 2nd gear. lol

Got up to 2300 rpms in first gear, then kept trying to shift into 2nd gear because the hydraulics were bad. Gave up and pulled it back around to the shop.

I might have hit 10-12mph haha

Changed out the slave last night, holds pressure and drove down the road.

There was a small hairline fracture on the inner circle of my old slave. Might have been there when I bought it or it might have happened when handling it before installation.

Towing the car to an exhaust shop on Monday to get some custom stuff made. Car has no power at all since the O2 sensors aren't in.

This is my exhaust for now, going to order HKS Hi-Power Mufflers later this week.

Also going to have an X-Pipe welded in because the shop I took it too didn't have anything he could use at a decent price.

WHen are you going to post up some pics of this car, already?

I am curious to hear how the HKS mufflers sound as well, coupled with an LS1. Should sound very distinct. :biggrin:

There ya go guys.

Anyways, used an OBDII reader and found 14 codes being thrown. lol

Most were evap codes, and some I can fix by just hooking up a connector. All should be gone by next Wednesday when I take it to get it tuned.

Eventually I will order 15" wheels and some 28" slicks. I want to hit 10's NA.

 

[5000XD]

Yep, that sounds like the only remedy to your 'problem', if you can call it a problem :laugh:

2 brand new HKS Hi-Power Mufflers on the way to me now.

Also getting dyno tuned this coming Wednesday at 3pm.

 

[Simplex Effect]

Got it dyno tuned today. Have to fix my driver side o2 sensor, its not reading correctly. Going back for a street tune after that.

Car hauls ass, squats down hard and rubs my tires. So I am going to swap my 275/45/17's to a 245/40/18 tomorrow just so I can drive it without worry of ruining brand new tires.
