Action: Clutch slips at high RPMs (above 5000)

Cause: Glazed clutch, leaking rear main seal, or slightly engaged pressure plate.

Fix: New clutch, replace seal, or find different length clutch collar

FIXED – New SPEC stage 2 clutch, clutch collar, and bearing

Action: Smokes like a chimney and getting worse.

Cause: Oily smoke so its gotta be the valve stem seals.

Fix: New seals, might as well port head while I’m at it.

FIXED – New engine

Action: Slight tire rubbing in rear

Cause: Tires are too badass

Fix. Rolled fenders but still no positive result. Get out cut off wheel/grinder.

FIXED – Inner fender ground down and hammered until tire cleared

Action: Passenger seat too far forward in interior compartment

Cause: Battery relocation to behind passenger seat prevents rearward movement.

Fix: Get a smaller/shorter battery to allow rearward seat movement.

FIXED – New sealed/smaller battery – mounted horizontally

Action: Speedo don’t work

Cause: Speedo gear in trans installed incorrectly

Fix. Git R Done

Action: Car does not return to zero after left turns

Cause: Noticed recently that front wheels are different offsets.

Minimal enough offset not to notice, but large enough offset to adversely affect handling.

Fix: Get out matching spares and pair them up correctly.

Action: Shock tower covers look like shit

Cause: Product quality sucks & I suck

Fix: Professional install?

Action: Noisy fuel pump

Cause: No idea

Fix: Different brand pump

PARTIALLY FIXED – Insulated pump with rubber PVC repair sleeve as well as insulated rubber foam. Much better.
