Sorry for the lack of updates, been extremely busy with business lately and the shop car suffers as a result sadly. However, because it's Friday... and FullRace Friday sounds catchy, I snapped a few updated pictures for you guys!

Clutch came in from FT-86 SpeedFactory:

Got involved in another forum members dilemma of the clutch fork being extremely weak apparently? So I designed up a unit that will be machined and should be available soon-ish. As a result, clutch/flywheel won't be installed till I get prototypes of the fork.

Broken unit:

Initial design:

FEA on fork with 1000 lb pressure plate force:

Initial 3D Print (Yes it is prettier in pink ^_^):

Revised design printed after discussing with machine shop on how he was going to cut it. Basically told me he was cutting it from both sides of the part anyway, so revised it for a cleaner and more OEM install.

Have some VERY VERY exciting news coming in the next few weeks/month. Looking forward to sharing that with you guys shortly.

Have a good weekend,
Eric
