Hi guys,
2 cars, a couple of different problems. Any help will be appreciated:

1. car -->
- Centax engages too early. As soon as I hit the throttle, it engages. How to avoid this? Should I tighten the clutch spring? Do I have a too large or too small clutch gap?
- The brake disc sometimes hits the flywheel. I haven't installed the 0.5 mm shim between the front bearing of the engine and the conus. If I do install that, would it solve the problem? Or is it normal for the brake disc to touch the flywheel (sometimes) when in fast motion?

2. car --> Start the car, all is ok. Hit the gas, give full throttle, no problem. Come to a corner, get off the gas, car slows down. Take the corner, hit the gas, engine revs up high, no motion on the car. It's like as if the centax is not engaging there at all. Give it a couple of tries, then it engages. How can be the problem to this one?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
