Just FYI...
From front to rear:
Engine - Flywheel - Clutch - Pressure plate - Throwout Bearing - Fork

When you push the clutch pedal in, it pushes the fork (a lever arm) pushing forward on the bearing and pressure plate releasing the clutch.

Hope to see you guys this weekend. I will probably be there all day just to hang out and take some photos. Maybe even go for a drive, catch a few beers downtown, who knows?

umm I was wondering...can i hitch a ride with someone. I really want to go..but I don't have a ride. Anyone willing to make a pit stop at vcu?

nice to see your staying this time ;) all my friends that are coming with me (and racing) are all in the first heat, so im not sure if we plan on staying after the third heat or not. they are calling for rain, so i guess we will see how it goes :(

I can give you a ride, you are at vcu, right?

yea. Im at gladding residence center, its on main. what time do you want to pick me up?

I will probably be there around 10:00-10:30. Do you have a number I can reach you at Sunday morning to tell you exactly what time I will be there? What is gladding close to? I am not very familiar with the VCU campus.

sunday...i thought it ws on saturday. Any way I'm pming you my phone number.. As for gladding, its across from Monroe park, right after the engineering building. I'm not sure what direction you'll be coming from though. If you are on belvadere or you cross it then when you turn on to main you will go by the engineering building on your left then you will see another building. Thats gladding. If all goes to plan I will be waiting outside.

l33 you got about the worst luck!(other than joe),good luck getting your car fixed i have the racing beat clutch and kinda wish i woulda saved the few extra bucks and got a ACT.But i have yet to experience the RB clutch yet.As for sunday im off and will be going just to hang out i was going to see about getting my dads car but the registration is full and waiting for a spot is a pain in the ass.So i f i dont pull the motor out of the 87 sun.ill be there.If i dont see yall sun. good luck!

david, you can register as me, i still have not taken my name off the list. i can't rag on it yet.

kewl maybe ill try that,thanks rob..I have to see if i can get my dads car now.

rbgordon, whats your aim, im always on that so its a bit mor convienient. So do you know where gladding is now?

yeah, i think i will be able to find it, i will be in a black tII..aim is rgordon1979, im me anytime.

sounds like there should be a decent turn out :D

my dad is going as well to hang out and see how the whole autox thing goes. he'll be in his rex with the v6.

sounds cool. the rotary gang will hang out somewhere and look badass. this will rock.

You mean a six rotor, right?!?

I was driving down Broad Sunday and a white RX-7 with a TII hood pulled out and sped up to me. He was trying to ask me what kind of wheels I have. Anyway, we pulled over and started talking. He dropped in an LT-1 with a 6 speed. When he left, he immediately shifted to 2nd gear and burned the hell out of his rear tires, in other words, he didn't even need first gear. HUGE blackmarks while sideways down Broad St. That was cool.

I may show up to watch and drool...

come out!! and bring your microtech, i want to see it before i order it.

It's supposed to be in route to the US now, it could be here in my hands in a week. They had a slight problem with AUD/USD exchange rates (19 some thousand dollars...), and that caused about a 3-4 day delay. Don't worry, you'll see more than you'd like if you guys want to help me install it :D.

l33, just talked to zach, auto-x is rain or shine, so i will call you tomorrow morning.

A WORKING WIPER SWITCH.

:)

For anybody that would be interested by this kinda thing, CAP has a S4 body with an auto and only 113K miles back in the yard. It's minus some stuff...including a switch. But the engine is all there.

They have 3 S4s two red and one blue.
