Sat in rush hour traffic from Siena to the dump only to find out route 9 was fucking closed? :nuts Then turned around and drove all the way back. Glazed my clutch up for nothing.

Has nothing to do with how I drive. I know how my car needs to be driven… when you’re in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour there really isn’t anything you can do. The SC clutch glazes really easily, especially when it gets heated. It goes away if it’s just minor glaze from stop and go for a long period of time (mine cleared up already) but some people slip it in between shifts and destroy their clutches. Then they bitch and whine that the stock clutch is junk.

My '93 S10’s clutch used to fuck up in heavy traffic too. Ive never had a problem with the clutch and the Elantra and the Mustang blows them for other reasons.

i just fixed and i blew off hose. the piping is just such a fucking mess! i really, really need to re-do that piping very soon. well, it burns em into 3rd with ease. 2nd it holds about 23 psi, 3rd jumps to 28 lbs and i have to pedal 3rd so it won’t overboost. when i redo the piping, its going to be all Tbolt clamps, along with that saab intercooler, and i have to install a boostvalve. n75 isn’t reacting fast enough.
