Just saying HI. Been out of the f-bodies for awhile. Working at getting an LS1 Trans Am project going. Good to be back. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That car was NASTY. So was the clutch explosion (as I remember).

QUOTE (trackbird @ Aug 21 2009, 03:35 AM)  That car was NASTY. So was the clutch explosion (as I remember). Uh, ya. Here's a pic I ran across of the big 'boom'. You can see mega parts behind the car as well as parts over in the other lane around the guy walking over. That was before they had blow proof bellhousings for the LT1 f-bodies too. I still have a piece of the clutch that wedged itself up in the tunnel area, but didn't break through, thankfully. Where it was wedged, if it had come though, it would have seriously torn up my right leg. It ended up taking out the clutch, pressure plate, bellhousing, transmission case, O2 sensor, oil pressure sensor on top of the motor, put holes in both headers, sliced the y-pipe in a couple places, and dented up the tunnel pretty good. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Quite the bomb when it went off.
