Forum's slow so I figured I'd talk about my firechicken.

I've been fighting to get this car to hook for sometime. It'd go 1.5's but not consistently and it should go easy 1.4's. I thought it was due to the mass of the new twin disc, then wondered if the slicks were toast, then started thinking about the rear shocks.

So today I tore the drivers shock out - it's a QA1 Gen F 24 way double adjustable. Both compression and rebound adjusted fine. Put it back on and checked the suspension how much drop I had and found this

nocooler:
I guess I should explain - it's got 1.25" of extension - not nearly enough for a stick shift car.

Damn thing has been topping out the shocks and unloading - or at least that's what I'm hoping.

Did get a good pass in last week. Faceplated T56 ftw!

Here is what a McLeod RXT twin disc clutch looks like - and a QTP bellhousing to save my feet
