Deev, have you tried adjusting the clutch master cylinder rod for free play?

[deevergote]

Yeah, I have. I adjusted it all the way up, all the way down, and now it's right in the middle where it seems most of them are.

My friend's dad used a big pipe to pry the shifter fork lever, to force a bubble out of the slave cylinder. It worked for him, but I wasn't there when he did it, and I can't figure out what he did! That's my last resort.

AndyD, I didn't see that post until just now! Maybe that's all I need to do... just try driving the sucker and see if it comes back to life. I don't see how it would, but who knows. I'm just afraid that with partial pressure, it's going to do damage to the already crappy clutch components that I have in there (especially since they're brand new... that's no way to break in a new clutch/flywheel/pressure plate!) My new clutch stuff is XTD Stage 1 garbage. I only used it because my friend across the street had it on hand, needed money, and learned after he bought it how horrible XTD is.

Any up dates boss man?

[deevergote]

Nada.

Going to mess with it a bit today, hopefully. Trying to get the courage to start it up after it's been sitting for 2.5 years! Still dealing with clutch pressure issues, though.

I really need to get this thing back on the road. I miss it! I sit in it from time to time, and it just smells like home.

I like this. I sit in mine and feel the same way. It is funny but when bad shit happens I go for a drive and feel alot better.

[deevergote]

Yeah, same here. When my CB was working, I'd come home from work (I drive for a living... at that time, it was in a 2002 Grand Prix GTP), and I'd hop in the CB7 and drive for an hour to unwind. When I can rely on the car, it's the most relaxing thing in the world. Right now though, it needs so much work that it'll be a bit nerve-wracking to drive it once it's back on the road.

[jova1993cb]

I hear that. It will be worth it though.

[deevergote]

For sure. Once I get it on the road again, it'll be easier to fix it up. It's hard to work on a car you haven't driven for the better part of 3 years!

[jova1993cb]

Just keep us informed on the progress of the revival

[deevergote]

f'sho!


Soon, I hope.

[cb7_with_snail]

Updates?

[deevergote]

Nothing yet.


Well, no, that's not true. I went away the other week, and Jak Frostwhite and icedplaya123 came over and switched the wheels... I now have Prelude Si fanblades instead of my 93 coupe alloys.

Nice I'm tring to find some myself

Can't let this MRT die. Any luck with the CB7?
Nice car, I would hate to see it die (especially slowly). Are you still working a lot of hours and have minimal time for her? Hopefully you'll be able to find a new door and get the clutch working again which will put it back on the road. Post some pics if you can.
