November 2008:
Charles from Sick Speed Performance installed a few toys on the rx7. Polyurethane motor mount on drivers side, oil pan baffle, clutch, pressure plate, aluminum flywheel,
slave cylinder and a rebuild transmission.
LS1 Road Race Oil Pan Baffle from "Improved Racing" to prevent oil starvation in long corners.
#1 points to stock baffle and #2 points to custom baffle:
The throw-out bearing was melted to the input shaft and the sping holding it was broken:
The motor didn't have a windage tray so we installed a stock one; that should add a few ponies.
Broken teeth on the input shaft:
Rockland Standard Gear rebuild the t-56 with hardened input shaft, steel shift fork, carbon blocker pads, etc:
At right is a new slave cylinder. Left is a modified B&M shifter with a welded/relocated shift handle. Background is aluminum driveshaft.
C6 Z06 clutch and pressure plate, with an aluminum Fidanza flywheel:
