    3V Clutch ToB Spacing

    Ah very cool, I have talked to him a handful of times and he's always helpful. Yeah I have some crude drawings and calculations that I will clean up and add along with some more pictures, if it helps anyone it'll be a success to me ha

    3V Clutch ToB Spacing

    That was a good idea Mike and I did reach out to Dean to get some insight. He suggested a different way to make the measurements, the downside with this is you need to make one measurement before you take the original clutch off which I had already done. But he said you can measure from the...

    3V Clutch ToB Spacing

    Thanks blacksheep, yeah I really got into the weeds on this haThe main thing I am trying to avoid is the over extension of the ToB and having to replace it sooner than expected, I suspect that the design intent was to create less clutch pedal travel to make for faster shifting which could be...

    3V Clutch ToB Spacing

    Could someone please help me with my throwout bearing placement. I'll do my best to keep this concise but adequately detailed.So I have a stock 3v with the original TR3650, after having my OEM clutch spectacularly explode at Road Atlanta I'm installing a new one. So I upped it to an exedy Mach...

    hmm let me think on that, I am fairly certain there is a way to do it, might have to get a little creative is all

    Roll couple has felt good too! If I remember correctly it is just over -3 degrees, I have been happy with the tire wear and the few pictures I have seen of the car loaded in a corner the outside tire looks like it is pretty well planted so I haven't messed with it from that too much

    they definitely are and I used to have that at the forefront of when I went to the track and it has seemingly gotten buried behind all the other things I want to do or know. In the absence of an actual coach this would be a good addition oof I feel that all too well I gotta get out my trusty...

    if I am following correct I would guess you need a cord that is isolating your buds per left and right side so both the Garmin and the radio could be plugged in at once. are you only getting one or the other or is it a jumble of both?

    that is a good way to view it that I hadn't really been thinking off, I was just looking at cost of entry but certainly session improvements vs the price of seat time is more valuable. I appreciate the advice and the kind words about the build!

    Thanks TMS, I have been strongly considering the Garmin unfortunately money is tight and as of right now I am only into this project like $120 so this is kind of like my pilot run to see how effectively I can use the data, like you said the post session download is a thought and if I don't...

    So in the quest for more data I am going to see if I can build up a logger and save some money. I have been really eyeing the ASL RaceCapture/Track data acquisition and I think it's fairly priced but I want to see what kind of data I can get from the car before spending the extra money, there is...

    I should have made this update a month ago but life got busy so here we are. Anyways, after a bit of back and forth with Ford I got the aluminum driveshaft, in short a driveshaft for a 11-14 S197 got put into the box for the 05-10 S197 so it was several inches too long. This driveshaft is an...

    Torsen Diff Upgrade

    Yeah I'm kinda glad there are only two allowed otherwise I'd be in a much deeper rabbit hole ha

    Torsen Diff Upgrade

    Yeah I had the same overheating experience in my '17. I do want to add a diff temp sensor/cooler, I think the cover has a spot for a temp sensor but I need to see where it goes
