The first post was just a quick copy/paste from the last thread. I intend to update it later today. Once the old threads are removed to DTS then normal users have no access, thus not even needed.

Reposting this in the new thread:
Looking for a really thin bucket to check valve lash. Not trying to tip my valves but looks like that may be the best course of action. Just want to check with a thin bucket to confirm. I'll be picking one up from the dealer here shortly, but right now I have $0.34 in the car fund In other news my MR2 will finally be here this weekend. I can start the rebuild on that once the subie is done! |

As long as you aren't obnoxious it shouldn't be a big deal. There is a law though about cruising the strip. You can't pass the same point more than twice in a specific period of time. Gonna have to look it up, it may or may not still be in effect.

it is still in effect, we actually were warned about it yesterday at work. From what I understand there's actually a cop there regularly who monitors/enforces.

I personally think it is a waste of an officer. Traffic can get bad sometimes but it's part of a beachfront. I actually got pulled over by an older officer that said my exhaust was too loud evn though it is only an SPT...

you do know that anything, EVEN SPT, is illegal to have installed on your vehicle in VA?
so be lucky you only got a warning |

Hmm.. If you buy a Nismo edition Z that comes with a performance exhaust you are alright. I'm not sure about SPT..
But yeah, anyways, it's the same in Mass. Anything that did not come on the car from the factory is illlegal. I am not sure what they can do to out of state cars other than pull them over and give 'em a good talkin' to. I did get pulled over here for speeding coming on to 64; the cop commented on my exhaust being loud(dump tube from EWG) but nothing more. Didn't hesitate to issue me a speeding ticket though |

If it is an option that is sold by the dealer, annnnnnnd you can prove it was installed at the time of the vehicles initial purchase by the dealer that is the only way an exhaust is legal... IE it came on the car when it was brand new. Loophole, but a hard one to prove.

Agreed. My buddy Tray in Newport News has an FJ that he purchased the TRD parts package and had installed at time of purchase. Got an exhaust ticket, and had a hell of a time getting out of his ticket. He did, but it was almost not worth the effort. Had he not held on to his original purchase papers / window sticker he would have never been able to prove it.
Yet, Harley Davidson's still get sold with straight pipes and never get messed with. |

What clutch would y'all recommend for a car making an estimated 320-330+ lbs/tq (maybe at the wheels don't' know, can't dyno the car due to the slipping clutch...) This is a daily driver and I'm old so I don't want to need to have knees like the Hulk to drive it.
back story= the clutch finally went kaput along with the clutch fork last month. We threw in a brand new Spec Stg 1 clutch that Shawn had given to me after he traded in his WRX. We'll the bugger isn't holding and slipping in 5th. It slips with any amount of gas that isn't literally nursing it speed (like passing a Prius and saving gas speed) any sudden pedal movement causes it to slip. NOT JUST STOMPING IT. It doesn't seem to disengage completely in 4th either. The Stage 1 is rated at 280 lbs. My power estimates are based off of similar builds. Last edited by Damaca; 03-27-2013 at 10:55 AM.

How many miles since the install? Some staged clutches require being babied / break-in and can take up to 1500 - 2000 miles. I wouldn't be so quick to assume there is a problem with the clutch itself. |
