or just the gayness of the kia block. The pressure plate is what would put pressure on the thrust bearings, not the clutch- fyi.


Nice work Jeff, I'm digging the window sticker, sucks about all the problems though.

hmm thats werid, the link changed for some reason..? I updated it

The pressure plate is OE painted black aka "heavy duty" as Clutch specialities calls them with a 6puk sprung disc. The thrust bearings are really thin/small on these blocks so I'd assume this will probably happen again.

asking price is 13,900 and no Warranty. I'm thinking she'll be on the showroom for awhile. Tons of people look at it everyday though.

Is that a Mazda BP? Didn't they use those back in the day?

The majority of Muscle cars were built just to sit in the showroom to bring people in. So even if it does fall apart, you've done your job

i think he said something to his boss about how they're called performance kia, but yet, they have nothing "performance" wise on their lot. so he was given a chunk of change to go to town on a base model. ...or something to that extent.
