The CDV was fine for the street but really sucked at the race track or when trying to shift quickly. Jeff is right that you will have to be a bit more smooth on the street- there is no help if you happen to release the clutch a little too quickly. Luckily, I tend to be pretty smooth anyway and I'm still on the original clutch (at ~134K and is autocrossed and tracked fairly regularly) but I don't think the delete contributes to faster wear. Definitely make sure to bleed the clutch well as the clutch will feel horrible if it isn't. Drive Safely, Raza

#6. new driveshaft - from Brian Ruiz
Top
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 17:31:53 -0700 From: "Brian Ruiz" <eurowerke@gmail.com> Subject: new driveshaft I believe I am in need of a new driveshaft, and it seems that all that is available are the ones with the CV joint, while the unit on the car does not have a CV joint. I called up Driveline Service of Portland, and they have a replacement unit available. However, I checked out their website, and I realized that their driveshafts have Zerk fittings on them to enable regreasing of the u-joints. This made me realize that the driveshaft would *require* frequent greasings and that would be a lot of work to do every 10k miles. Have any of you out there that have used Driveline Service of Portland for a new driveshaft been required to regrease them frequently? Do they include any instructions about repacking them at specified intervals? I may have to plop out the cash for a sealed lifetime unit from the dealer. Apparently the sealed units, although more expensive to replace, last a lot longer since the grease is of a much higher quality, and the seals holding it in are as well. In addition, the metals used in the joint are harder and more durable. This is all from a site someone posted on the UUC list, but it sounds pretty accurate to me. I just trust dealer parts, even though they might be a bit more expensive, to alternative solutions, even in spite of a high level of apparent quality of the alternatives. Thanks, Brian build 8/95

Once I pulled it out, the car drove like I expected it to. Best mod I ever did to the car and that includes the TCK suspension bits. Gus

Just moved and got my computer back up. Umm... How do I know? Well.. I know nothing about book thermodynamics, but I can tell you about real life experience. I was dumb enough to try it 4 different times on 3 different cars. It's not worth arguing about. Just trust me or try it your self. I used to not understand/believe also. Now I believe and just accept it. Now I will say that they were all track cars, so if that makes a difference....... But really it won't.
