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.

PP has their super kit with the 911 disc for like $355. The cable adjustment helped a lot and as long as I really go easy on the throttle, it doesn't slip so I'll be driving like grandma for a while while I save for the kit. The bad news is that my exhaust is so bad that if I take it apart to do the clutch, I probably won't be able to reuse any of it. So $355 for the clutch and $750 for SS heat exchangers and 2.0L Bursch exhaust. Wow!! $1100 is real close to what I paid for the whole car.
