New Engine and Clutch
 
So, just finally got my car back from Mazda with a re-manufactured engine from corp. and I put in an excedy stage 1.

Sad part now is since I've only had one manual car (mine) and the clutch was failing and I've only driven it for about like 3 months now? I have to re-learn how to drive because for the love of god of me my feet are far to heavy still and the difference going from a slipping clutch to a brand new stage 1... x_x

The upside is if you can be smooth in a rotary, you can drive anything.

Yea, I took it out today to a parking lot and was practicing; my thing was that I was very quick/heavy with my pedals since I grew up driving an automatic, I just gotta learn to control my speeds and go smooth / slowly.

ive bought two Rx8's with totally misadjusted clutch pedals, and since i had a 500 mile trip home in each car, i got used to it, and then of course when its fixed, its lurch city until i relearn

readjust the pedal, if the pedal is NOT already bad.
