Parts can only take so much abuse.

Thats not a centerforce clutch(centerforce has centerforce 1 and 2, dual friction and a couple of other cheesy names, Centerforce clutches are garbage) and honestly don't know what it is. but put abuse to any car on a daily basis and thats bound to happen. You wanna play, you're gonna have to pay. Just all part of having fun with your car..........
And besides, I already know thats not from being easy on the car..............come on man, who you fooling? Lmao

actually it was always a fight to get the red one to remotely do this.... because the rear wheels never wanted to lock together since i had the car. meaning i basically had to shock the drive train to get it remotely sideways.........but none of that with the silver one , just flog the gas , no clutch kicking, none of the driveline play like the other one.........i dunno.

right , this time im going with a sprung hub disc. thats probably alot of the problem too. i did find a trd 2-way for $400 , thats being shipped right now. now i got to track down a real gt-s tranny. this will be fun. as for the previous statements. that question was in air but is now in the past. i dunno , theres always been a wierd 1-2 second delay in the red car when releasing the clutch. at first i figured hell its a springless hub , ive never had one, fuck it.....chock it up to something new. but when i got the silver one , i got to feel what an unmolested , un abused dealer maintained gt-s was like......no comparison, never was. i will say the bt20v screams on top end compared to the 16vblutp, but then again , i found the timing on the coupe to be advanced quite a bit, so when it goes back together , ive got some slimmer longer stacks going on , ill probably adjust the timing out to about 12-13 degrees as opposed to the 8-9 it is now. that should eliminate the occasional back fire throught the intake , and definitly give me more low end umph. when i first got the silver car it was timed at like 15 . i set it back to 10, and lost almost all low end torque but TVIS felt like fucking vtec and it absolutely screamed up top!!!! so back down to 13-14 it went. back to having low end torque, and "meh" top end. either way its still quick off the line without hard launching to be completely stock
