Another update...

After admiring the new GT40R turbo that came in from Forced Performance today, we pulled the green beast out of the shop for our first tuning session. I was quite excited.

The laptop was hooked up, MegaTune was open on the laptop, coolant got to 160, I gave up the drivers seat to my brother Matt and sat down in the passenger seat... ready to put a smack-down tune on this beast. As soon as Matt pushed the clutch pedel, the damn clutch fork snapped again! Clean in half. Fuck.

It's actually the second time it's happened. The first time was immediately after we installed the ClutchMaster's stage 6 racing clutch. The stock clutch fork was too thick and came in contact with the pressure plate, causing it to crack. So, I got a brand new MOPAR fork, shaved it down 1/8" and welded in a structural triange of 5/16" cold rolled steel rod around the pivot point. This is the fork that snapped today.

Joe told me that I should've welded in some more steel rod inside the arm of the fork before installing it, but I didn't listen. Well... that's exactly where it broke. So, out comes the tranny again, and another new fork will have to be made. I'll be TIG welding this one together and it will be BEEFY. This clutch is wicked.
