not five years;
I bought my car in February 2010, and I believe he wrote his off two months later...
I think 99% of the rust was there when I got the car later that summer.
i did spray down the engine/front suspension shortly after getting it - so that should have neutralized any road salt left on it...

so 4.8? hahahah i think five years was close enough dont you? he wrote his off slightly before me. regardless having it just sit around for that length of time will make things difficult. at least they are still good parts, and you took care of the hum. just so you know for sure mine was written off in march 2011. i just checked my papers. he did his in 2010 almost 1 year before me

So my clutch is slipping really bad now I'm hoping it's just glazed a bit and will clear up before I head to the dyno. Funny how this happened when I actually started making power and that sucks because my car is so much fun now
yep your right jonathan my windshield does say 2011, hahahahah man my memory is absolute crap. it dont matter anyways.
i find the clutch a lil funny kevin, after our conversations about the subject. i am sure you do too. if you need a extra set of hands just let me know. also i will teach you the jedi approach to saving clutches if you wish. lol

ok, incase you guys didn't know this I'll share what I learnt today;
According to cross referance at both AutoValue, and Rock Auto, our hubs are supposed to be the same thing for all five bolt (four wheel disc; RPO 'JL9') cars, but at the least the LNF cars use different hubs...
I just pulled a set off of an LE5 car, only to find out that the cv shaft is smaller - so they do not interchange.

I'm thinking about pulling my trans (again) to inspect my clutch and take off any glazing that's on there. All I want is it to last this summer.

Mark does the guy you know for machining work Sat?
Senior Member
I'm thinking get it machined and get them to take off a tiiny bit more on the shoulder to make up for wear and I'll be golden
Senior Member
Says they need to see if if they can do it they will and no extra charge for taking a bit off of the shoulder I just have to tell them how much. And open until noon on sat so I guess I need to find out when I'm gonna do this

Mark no hockey tonight so I can stop by if you're free

Kevin, do you have a fidanza flywheel?
If you're popping it out, I'd encourage you to reconsider running it...
If you're doubting me, you should see my Fidanza flywheel...
I'm thankfull that it didn't destroy my transmission when it let go (like they have done to others)...

the center hub sheared itself off.
I don't currently have access to my pictures, but from a single quick google search I found these;
mine looks like the first picture.

My flywheel was a spec aluminum one and it was a pressure plate spring that decided it didn't want to do what it was supposed to do anymore
