im sure i will lol. i gotta try and find someone in canada that has them in stock, frozencpu wants $30us shipping

i ran another tank through it later in the day to show off to my friend who owns the cnc mill ive been using. the more i run it the more compression its getting, its starting to get hard to bump start now. but i fired it up, idles at 4500rpm and i ran a full tank through it beating it mercilessly and not a hickup. this time i fired it, let it get up to 160*f and started driving, and after 190*f i started running full throttle and the temps actually stayed under 250*f till the last 1/4 of a tank. i find the temp climbs so fast at idle and that it just wont cant seem to recover. im sure the fan will help that.

i tore it back apart to inspect the clutch, it looks like new still. im also working on dropping the gear ratio a bit. unfortunately im only able to drop down 1 tooth on the pinions. with machining a 16 tooth gear i could go down one more if the rear brake pads didnt hit the flywheel. if i need to go down anymore ill have to figure out something with larger spur gears. ofna used to make an optional 13 tooth pinion gear for the diffs instead of the stock 14 tooth, bringing the diff ratio from 2.93 to 3.15. its a small change but would make a huge difference. unfortunately i cant find anyone who has stock on them.
