Bumper scrape? We all thought you grinded the 1-2 shift.

 

ha ha. Actually since is switched to Mobil 1 75w-90 gear oil in the tranny, it shifts alot better. As some of you might know, we can't use most of the fancy mt oils because you can only put gl-4's in our trannies because of the soft metals in it. Mobil 1 gear oil doesn't have the corrosive materials in it to screw up the soft metals in our trannies. I have the new 008 tranny(replaced old at 24,000 miles due to 3rd gear grinding every time) and it has a very noisy 1st gear whine and this oil has eliminated that. It has never grinded once!

 

which RPS clutch is that? the street disc or sprung 6-puck

 

It's the street disk. RPS has a reputation for underrating their clutches by a good 20%. I know on the Supra's they hold at least that much over what they are rated. I didn't want a super hard clutch also. That's why I went with it. Plus isn't this still suposed to be a luxury car. That's why I'll never lower it. The sway bars tightened it up enough for my liking.

 

So, they underrate them huh. That would have been good to know before I installed their six puck. Its not horrible but I am kinda wishing I had bought the street disc. At least I will never have to replace it.

 

That's a great attitude to have. Who knows maybe I'll grenade mine and you'll be the one laughing. How loud is yours? Mines quieter than stock but I think I had the noisiest T/O bearing the world. Sounded like a pack of bb's bouncing around my flywheel.

Today was the first day of getting on it alot. I know people have complained about the stock cooling system but mine seemed to work fine. Maybe the greddy front bumper helped. I also put a higher pressure Nismo radiator cap on.
