that clutch was a bit too aggressive for my application. I'm trying a heavy duty organic disc with the same double-sprung pressure plate. Need a little slip to get those big tires moving.
There's always some slippage as you engage the clutch to start moving. That metallic puck clutch is designed to make that slippage happen at the tires! As I said, just a bit too aggressive. Since I had to buy another disc anyway, figured I'd mix and match.

Bam i am not thinking with those big tires Goldie has much slippage @ the ground... LoL
I was gonna do a heavy duty set up from ACT.... but now I'm rethinking getting the whole 1988 civic set and might try to find the accord mix and get a bigger fly wheel .....
(again)
I cut the sidewall out of my left steer tire.
BAM
glad to see Goldie rolling again .... :encouragement:
sorry to hear of the sidewall getting damaged ... i dont see the spare on the roof but im sure it was in the trunk with that COOL double welded jack..!
Yeah, the D flywheels are interchangeable from '90-2000. The issue was getting a disc to fit the smaller shaft '88 and still use the larger diameter flywheel/pressure plate.
Met wadodizzle's sister to hand off a transmission that needed to go south yesterday.
haven't had a chance before to compare side by side.
Funny, as she pulled into the lot she called and asked what I was driving, then said "Oh. I should've known when I saw that car. "
You know, after a suspension change, you have to go drive it to settle everything, right?
camber is pretty near neutral now, depending on how you park. The suspension is so compliant for articulation that it's hard to get the same reading twice.
I need a recommendation for the most robust adjustable upper control arms and toe compensator links. Who makes the good stuff?
I used 1/2"-13 nuts for spacers and did the old "washer trick", but it was a pain. I'd like to be able to tune on it. Besides, those are the only bushings left that aren't urethane.
These, SPC. They are the heaviest I've found. I bet these rip the tabs out of the shell before they break..
Toe Link. (Has solid billet bushings)
Camber Link. (BEEF)
Bam like your testing style of the adjustment on suspension ...... I'm on my phone or I would find pictures and names of the front upper control arm and them toe and camber I used on rear of Scrappy ...
I haven't gotten them yet, but just shimming the UCAs made a world of difference. The rack and basket will go back on shortly. I had to borrow pieces for the camper for vacationing. I'm looking for longer load bars now, so I can put the bike trays outboard of the basket.
Almost buried the old girl yesterday. That hole is deeper than it looked!
just wash the front where you need to mount/ fab the bumper.
yeah that seems ok since he will need clean bare metal for his Fab work ....
but then the fun part .....
rbwdriven we both know he will have to mud match it to look right for IA .... hope i can get there early enough to get some of that off road fun time ..... with Scrappy .. (fingers crossed):encouragement:

look at the hotspots on this flywheel and cover

FWIW, Chip, the flywheel is the same size and mass, just the clutch disc has a smaller contact area. You will probably not notice the difference.

this picture was taken yesterday on a hundred-dollar test drive. About two minutes after the photo stop, I cut the sidewall out of my left steer tire.
Glad shes up and running again! Hopefully the tire is the last of it.
#change of luck

as for aggressive tires . look in to bobcat tires there 15 inch rims and you can get them up to a 33
As far as Bobcat tires- aren't they heavy?

I like that side by side .... i couldnt imagine the towering over if the warrior basket and spare tire was on top...
nips my wanting another Rt4wd CRv n the bud.....!!!!!!!

It does drive a lot straighter now!

Anyways, Wagon looks great! Put the basket back on!
Almost buried the old girl yesterday. That hole is deeper than it looked!
But I made it out ok.
And the Mudding/Off-Road Pics are CLASSIC ! ! !
Hopefully when mine gets finished, I can chase you through the woods... And, not get stuck in your Ruts... LOL
Goldie is a MultiFunctionalVehicle
Do it! ! ! !
