Problems begin....Upgrades coming :)

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

well it seems the gto loves to leak clutch fluid somewhere, it leaks pretty slowly and might even still be air in the system from when i had to bleed it in the street as fast as i could to get to school, but i dont think so because it went empty before i even touched the clutch system (fluid went completely empty and filled of air when i was at ISU, had to shift from ISU back home with no clutch... that was fun lol thank god for rev matching) I havent had a chance to get it up in the air but plan on it in the next week or so.

for now ive been adding about 1/4 cup of fluid every other day. if i keep an eye on the fluid level i have no issues, but if i dont it runs out and air gets in the system, so since im not sure what has been replaced or done to the car, its time to get the part list going for a nice clutch system overhaul.

04 GTO has 65k miles

so heres the plan :

-Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Kit
-GM slave cylinder and throwout bearing
-Remote bleeder kit
-Monster Level 3 Clutch / Lightweight Flywheel
-GMM or Hurst Short Throw

I was wondering if the LSx / GTO had any advice or thoughts and would like to chime in or anything im missing that can be upgraded/replaced that i dont have listed

LS7 clutch and flywheel would be just fine honetly. I loved my hurst in my TA and my pro 5.0 was great aswell. a GM slave and throw out would be just fine aswell.. If your going to for sure DD this and not really throw mad mods on it the big clutch isn't really needed, the LS7 clutch can handle ALOT

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

ya i thought about it, but monster has a 100$ off deal right now for the winter. so a 700hp clutch/flywheel package is less then $600 and id rather spend the extra 70 bucks difference from the ls7 clutch and get something better, i could go level 2 but i like the 6 puck and the fact the lvl 3 can take a good beating at the track and knowing i have a couple hundred hp/tq to spare

i dont think the drivablility between the lvl 2 and 3 is going to be a big difference, also ill probably be around 450-500 hp/tq next year and dont like that the lvl 2 is only rated at 525.

10 sec GTO.

6 puck clutch daily driver. Good luck with that....already sounds like you can't drive too well.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

wtf are u talking about, and theres tons of people who use 6 puck systems on the street.. just because ur a pussy and cant handle it

take ur training wheels somewhere else

oh and btw my "DD" consists of MAYBE driving 10k/miles a year, i have a work car

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Maybe if your brother drives you around. Sounds like he's better at it.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lmao shows u know nothing

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

10 sec GTO.

dont know about that, but it will haul ass

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

what do my comments have to do with me? From what I recall you couldn't even get your car into the 13's. Sounds like it needed a driver mod

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

yep i couldnt when it was DEMODDED... once again shows me that you know nothing, oh also i guess pulling 2.0 60fts on stock cobalt tires is shitty too right?

:gtfo2:

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yea I know nothing of cobalts other than people saying you should have been in the 13's. Guess we shall see your brother run faster in the spring.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

yep let me know how my taillights look come spring too ok?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

you bought a gto and now your hot shit huh? Good luck with that.

 

[skeezer]

did you say his brother is going to run faster in a v6 firebird?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

No in his gto. There was some sort of bet in another thread. Wombat sounds like a better driver from what I recall in past threads

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

you bought a gto and now your hot shit huh? Good luck with that.

nope never said that, but i promise to be much faster then the training wheels u drive

did you say his brother is going to run faster in a v6 firebird?

no he thinks he can drive my car better then me and challenged me that he can put faster times down with my car, so ill let him drive mine next year to show him its not true

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I don't get the training wheels reference. Are you implying that I ride a tricycle daily?

Glad you got those priorities straight

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

lmao wow

 

[skeezer]

i may work on an access list to keep these silly subaru owners out of the lsx section; exactly where they don't belong.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Shut your mouth.

 

[skeezer]

dont get slapped up emo kid

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Oh ok ryatn. Go make some random one word posts.

i like the way u think

Unless you are actually making enough power to need that clutch, its probably a better idea to stay away from something so agressive. Just from a driveability standpoint. Realisticly most people never go further than a cam only setup which is still a pretty good amount of power.
