MR2 Update: PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT

Pictures and stuff.

The painful "no mi gusta" moment of putting the car back up on jacks.



***MONTAGE OF PSEUDO SWEARING AND FINDING EVERY BOLT HOLDING THE TRANSMISSION ON***




The transmission out.


Ah! There you are.


Let's see what we got here.


You're a bad clutch and you should feel bad.


The cavalry! A 6 puck ACT unsprung clutch kit and a Fidanza fly wheel. What a difference in weight the Fidanza is. The stock flywheel feels like it ways a veritable ton. I was grunting to get it out from under the car. The Fidanza, on the other hand, has all the weight of puppy dreams and wishes- maybe less (about 3-4lbs. ymmv). The difference is night and day.


Here it is mounted.


And now with the shiny clutch. Shame I hopefully won't see it again.

The transmission is almost on right now actually. Just a few more bolts and I should be set, of course if you've done this before (as I haven't) you might have noticed that Toyota uses a different bolt every single time. So it's been fun.
