mark Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 From my post on this thread http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=119175 I thought I would add a little detail. I had been adding rear brake bias to the car. A little to much bias plus a brain fart lead to a spin in a braking zone and contact with a brake marker. One can of bondo, $10, paint who knows. New clutch gave up due to an oil leak, took it apart and found a presure plate that had some strange wear. New clutch disc and lightened pressure plate $650. OUCH! And cost to surface the flywheel. Having some valve train issues. John (jt1) has offered to help me work these out, 1 case of cheap beer $3.00 One set of lifters $129. Probably also need some shorter push rods. Tore 2 CV boots with my little braking zone deal. Decided to replace all 4, New boots (Q 45 diff and CV axel set up) from Courtsey Nissan about $150. Still need to get assorted gaskets, intake, valve cover etc, probably another $100 or so. I'm sure there will be some while I'm at it that happens also. $XXXXXX.78 All in all still a fun weekend. Great guys, great track. Just parts, time and cash. Still cheaper than a weekend of hookers and cocaine, easier on the marriage also.

Mikelly Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hookers and cocaine... Hell that's what I thought your afterhours activity included in your trips into the metropolis of Milton, North Carolina... Atleast your car has seen the track... Mine will possibly never make it...

bjhines Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hate it when that happens... I managed to nearly destroy a set of Toyo RA1s I purchased in Jan.(a month ago)... I hope they make it through the March event at Road Atlanta... I might run my street tires the first day... At this rate I will end up needing 3 or 4 sets of race tires this season...
