it runs and is finally able to cruise just in time for me to go back to Iraq. Bad timing but better than next year when I come back. Need taller tires or bigger tire/wheel combo. Lose traction in 4th at full gas when i stomp it. Only have 13x8 ats classics with 175/50's. I thought it was my clutch slipping, but for a new clutch to do that would be weird especially in 4th. I can feel it lose traction a little when it does it. She is pretty quick up to about 70 and loud as hell at WOT. I have to get the linkage for my shifter lined up, 1st and 2nd are picky, but other than that a beast.
it's alive!! finally 2.0 9A with 45 webers

it will have to wait till I get back from Iraq, roads are being salted as I speak (decided to snow today), and the stuff here in Germany is no joke, time to sit in the garage until I get my 2 weeks of R and R in May.

I'm not a fan of the super wide wheels, poked out with stretched tires look, just my personal taste... Aside from that though, car looks great, nice work. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
so far so good with the breather.. got to get a short shift kit. tired of babying first and second. I need to find out what is up with my clutch or clutch cable, if it is sticking after being engaged (too tight). Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this. When I am in fourth going about 45-50 and I get on the throttle the eng rpms climb but no pull, I can feel the tires break traction ( i think), but I am not 100% sure what is up. I guess I need to find a hill and see if it slips then go from there.

Nice setup
To check the clutch, if the speed increases when it's happening, it's the tires, if speed stays the same but RPM goes up, it's the clutch.
I don't think you're making enough power to spin 4th that bad in the dry, even on those tires and in the cold.
