Anyone know if Subaru has smaller turning circle radius than Mustang or Miata rack?

I acutally sent that email to PayPal thought it was a spoof mail. PayPal replied saying the class action is legitimate. Yes, I'm part of the class action member. Wonder how much we'll get, probably $2... LOL. -Guycali

Has anyone driven a car with racing pedal setup like Tilton or Wilwood? Does it feel different than the normal vacuum-assisted braking? Does it require more pedal effort or distance? Can they be set up with ABS? I've only see brake/clutch pedal sets. How 'bout gas pedal? Use the stock one? That'd look kinda awkward, wouldn't it? Where can I look for racing gas pedal to go with brake/clutch pedal set? -guycali

I've pm'ed the seller about 2 5/8" gauges and will let you know. -Guycali

I want to give this to a broader audience than if I were to post it in the Classified section. Apologies if it is inappropriate. There's a groupbuy on Autometer gauges on eclipseforums.org ending 4/29. http://www.eclipseforums.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=158706 -Guycali

Can I see them side pipe pics too? Thanks! guycali@yahoo.com

I have a 4.08 R200 vlsd out of a 90+ z32 na for sale. I got it for $300 so it'll be that price too. I'm in the east bay so you can pick it up easily. Thanks. -Wilbur

Women should form a "Hunting for Daffy" game and give them a chance to relieve their aggressions toward men. Have naked men running around for female hunters. That'd be justice!

Hehe. I sent the seller couple email regarding some questions and he never replied back. How could someone selling a motor swap not answering or checking his email daily? Looks suspicious to me so I didn't bother to bid despite the low low price. Hope someone doesn't get a lemon. -Guycali

Hi Kyle, Can you explain what you mean by slow to reset after shifting and being sluggish. Although I've just recently replaced the entire clutch assembly on my Z but I'm still pretty new to driving a stick. If you are having trouble shifting into gear, try unhooking the clutch slave cylinder's return spring on the tranny. If you can shift pretty well with the spring unhooked, then you're simply losing engagement due the enlarged pin hole, where the clutch master cylinder and clutch pedal hook together. You'll have to take the pedal to a shop to have it weld up the hole and redrill to 8mm or 5/16" depending on which size of clevis pin you can find. If that's not the case, bleed the clutch system if you haven't done so. If that doesn't work, guess you'll have to replace the clutch/pressure plate. It took me 4 weekends to complete the clutch repair myself as I had never done it before, bleeding the clutch and brake systems, and replaced brake pads/shoes. I used four jack stands and a floor jack with tranny adapter. You can buy the entire clutch kit for about $100 from Kragen, AutoZone, or Pepboys (typically on special order). I'm afraid I won't have time to help you replace the clutch. Nevertheless, I'll try to answer any questions you may have. A service manual is a must if you want to do it yourself. Factory and Clymer ones are the best. Regards, Wilbur

This may be a dumb question but I've never driven a RHD car and am getting ready to acquire a RB26 conversion kit. Is it the same shift pattern as LHD tranny? 1 3 5 |/|/ 2 4 or 5 3 1 || 4 2 Thanks, Guycali

Sent you a pm Akila. -Guycali

Try http://www.classiczcars.com to sell your stock parts. More people are into restoring Z's back to stock condition there. -Guycali

Thanks for the advice. I have a '72 4spd and it's all stock. I've replaced the clutch disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. I have temporarily fixed it by disconnecting the return spring on the slave cylinder. It appears that with the return spring connected, the pushrod of the slave cylinder doesn't have enough force to overcome the tension in the spring to deliver proper disengagement distance to the clutch. The car shifts pretty well in all gears with the return spring removed. Good to know it's not the synchros. *whew* Of course, this isn't a long term solution. Either the slave or master cylinder isn't working properly because I've bled the clutch over and over again. Or it could be both cylinders. I guess my solution is to replace the slave cylinder then the master to really fix the problem. The return spring is there for a reason. Having it disconnected doesn't sit well with me. -Wilbur

Hi all, Hope you can give me some insights. I've just replaced the clutch and bled the system, drained and refilled the tranny oil, and bled the brake system. I can move the shifter in all gears okay with engine off. However, when the engine is running, I can't shift into any gears, no matter how hard I tried. I have attempted to decrease the clutch/shift fork gap but all that does is firm up the pedal travel and the problem remains. With the engine off, I can shift into 1st gear, start the engine, slowly release the clutch pedal and the car will move forward. However, I just can't shift to any other gears while the engine is turning. I do hope the problem is not the synchros but simple clutch adjustment. I'd be most grateful if anyone close to me can help me get this puppy on the road! Regards, -Wilbur
