Well, I got the car registered with a clear title. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I just got back from my first test drive and I am not a happy camper again. The clutch is slipping quite badly. I can eventually get it up to speed but have to be very careful or the engine will rev very high while the car does not accelerate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) What was originally a great purchase has just become very average as I have priced a clutch kit already. The worst part is, after I paid for the registration and stuff, my budget is at zero. My agreement with my wife was $100 a month so looks like the car won't see the road again until November. I would go and get some beer to drown my sorrows but I have to save for tha clutch now.

The agreement was $50 every payday (2 weeks) until the total reaches $1500. After that normal maintenance costs would be a given. I'm at nearly $1300 right now and no money currently available and the car isn't completely road-worthy yet. Drove it a bit more today to see what other issues might turn up that could only be found on the road as opposed to idling in the driveway. Seems now I also neet a CHT sensor or something too. So I'm currently broke with $200 more dollars in the future budget and possibly $400 worth of parts to buy to make the car barely road-worthy. Then of course there are the other little things like the leaking master cylinder, bad headlight relay, oil cooler leaking, rusted exhaust etc. I just want to be able to start driving it once in a while. Hard to do with a bad clutc h and CHT. I'll be looking into the cable adjustment ASAP though.
