I ran quite a few times Sat with a best of 14.4 at 99 MPH on my street tires, came into some problems after this last run when I would put it into gear, release the clutch & it wouldn't engage at all so a track personel tows me (w/ tow strap) about 1/2 mile down the road to my hotel where it sat for the night. Then my friend came down early and helped me tow it back to the track (with Type-R + tow strap) and good thing I brought a spare axle because we swapped it out & it worked again! The teeth on the very end of the axle that goes into the tranny was rounded out so it wasn't connecting w/ the shaft inside the diff so I didn't want to risk breaking anything else & sat out for today :( (looks like Panda can't handle 2 days of racing, cause last time I broke my PP on Sat & couldn't compete on Sun)

End of story ..

Dare was askin' if I'd seen you out there! I didn't see you all day until my car was on the trailer, and we were rolling out. I saw you exiting the track about 4pm (maybe a little before) on sunday.

I would have thought a slipping clutch would cause your lower-end to slip...?

A clutch will only hold a given amount of torque, and the torque of the engine when the boost comes on is probably too much for the clutch to hold.

If I could make a recommendation... Action Clutch FTW.

I have their 2KS kit (dual diaphragm pressure plate, kevlar disc) and it's amazing. I love it. :goodjob:

I've heard alot of good about Competition Clutches and the manager pushes for Zoom Clutches. Haven't tried either. Had no need...I'm stock. So I went with an autozone duralast special...

JFRO - Yeah...definitly makes sense. I guess I blame the clutch for my driving skills, then. When I needed a clutch, I was on my D15B2...so the ONLY way to actually accelerate was to redline each gear, and then drop the clutch for the next...

You need to get together in a race with ol' buddy Randy down here. His STI is stock as well and he runs the occasional 12.9... which is out of control.
