<- idiot had the 2 clutch switches wired wrong.

Now it's fixed.

Maybe a test drive tomorrow.

Edit: clutch pedal is stupid light.....

I know...I thought something was wrong at first and I was a bit nervous to put any power to it. Rumor has it that the RXT uses a pressure plate from a Honda V6

Took it for it's first ride tonight. Need to wash it - put the a/c belt on and find the squeak - then fill it with gas and break the clutch in.

The face plates bang pretty good - it'll take some time to figure out how to drive it smoother.

Double clutch on the street. And don't pop it out of gear whe coming to a stop. Stop, then shift to first. If you take it out of gear while coasting goto 5th to stop the gear set then 1st

That sucker sounds just like my semi ! Get a video driving it on the street!

I've take people for rides and they didn't have a clue that it was faceplated. Harlan had a proshifted t56 and he rode in it and didn't know until he tried to dyno it lol

Got about 50 miles on it.

Getting better at shifting it. 85% no clunk.

Clutch seems to grab pretty damn good - stupid smooth. Can believe I put up with chatter this long.

Not much to report - got the bfg dr's I bought from Levi mounted to replace the scary bald nittos.

My local tire shop manager wanted a ride - and he was impressed.

Working on the idle tune, installed the a/c belt and started changing the front brakes. I'm waiting on a hardware kit for the front disc brakes which will be in tomorrow.

Powerstop stuff is junk. Pads are trashed and the rotors are cracked.

I blame the beer and win8 phone for brakes...
