Just updating...I replaced the clutch kit with an XTD stage 1 clutch, and I replaced the flywheel with one Pat had laying around, just cleaned up the surface. The old flywheel was pretty bad, hot spotted and had small cracks. Finally I can drive my hatch around more and actually be able to shift :chuckles:. I also replaced the clutch master and slave, the master was leaking into the car, and I figured I might as well do the slave because of the mileage. Yesterday I think I may have fixed the water leak, it was coming in thru the blower motor so a attached a bottom part of a coolant bottle the the inlet under the cowl, I haven't tested it to see if it stopped leaking yet but I will. Today I had to take apart my drivers door and rebuild the lock cylinder, it was all corroded and was sqeaking when I turned it. Now its nice and smooth. I still need to get new side mirrors, I'm thinking about getting the spoon style ones.

 

In for hatch love

 

details on your lock cylinder rebuild?

 

Well, it was kinda rough to turn and squeaking when turning to unlock. I had to remove the door panel, get behind the plastic lining, pull the clips holding the lock cylinder to the door handle..etc. Once I got it out, I had to take the spring out of the rear of the cylinder. Since I work at a honda dealership the parts were available to me, such as the lock wafers. I had to pull each wafer out, look and see the number on it and find a new one in the kit that we have. I took a wire brush to the cylinder to clean off all of the white corrosion on the inside. I lubed it with this lubricant we have called Power Lube (similar to WD-40), put all of the wafers back in the correct slots on the cylinder and that was that. :rockon:

 

I was wrong, I didn't fix the water leak, my bottle plan didn't work. So its back to the drawing board.

 

so now you need to buy patricks old z6, build it up, and boost this thing, do it home made turbo style lol can have it done in a month for maybe 1000 bucks

 

Welcome to the crew, Nick! Your hatch looks about 20 times better than mine, so good starting point And yeah, Patrick is a good dood :thumbup:

 

Thanks man
