So Where Are We At?
Again my plan was to make NSXPO this year, bought tickets, blocked the room, rented a trailer for the car and my roommate's BMS S1000R so we could do Tail of the Dragon on the way home, etc. That plan is KAPUT! 
I was going to skip the clutch and transmission job. The car currently has the OS Giken clutch on it. It was on the car when I purchased it and thought over time I would come to love it but after 3 years and almost 4k miles I never did. I also started having some issues getting the car into reverse. The plan was to go back to the OEM clutch which I have from the previous owner and then crack the transmission to make sure all was happy. I was going to skip this for now in order to make XPO but [USER=18194]@Honcho[/USER] and I had a very good conversation about things and the clutch/transmission job has to happen now. We suspect what was causing the hard shifts and the reverse issue is due to the OS Giken not being in proper alignment, I thought I had read somewhere that it's not uncommon to have to readjust this clutch every so often as it's designed to be a racing clutch that's adjusted at each track day. The big fear now is that since the clutch was not fully disengaging and was shifting while still partially in gear I may have some badly worn internals that should be remedied now before parts become even more scarce.
So this means axle, trans, and clutch all come out as originally planned. Sucks to miss another XPO but peace of mind is greater.
I'm going to need Paul's help with that job (plus he just did an amazing job on his 
) so my attention turns to other areas for the time being
- Blower Foam Refresh (kit ordered from Joe)
- Finish Front Bay reassembly/routing of harness
- Remove/Flush A/C Lines
- A/C Compressor swap
- Removal of Cluster for Brian K repair (also sending CCU and all audio amps)
- Clean old grease from Window guides.
- Start replacing coolant hoses
- Removal of SRS harness/controller/system
- ABS assembly
- Reattach weather stripping to A Pillars
- Keep debating deleting the windshield wipers and washer fluid tank/lines.
Not an all inclusive list but it's a start.
I am going to be more active again now, I had a lot of personal and professional things happen to me over the last few years and I've been taking more time for myself lately which is something I haven't done since 2016 so it was high time I did so. But I'm back now!
