Second time out, new problems ocurred!
Hello all again!
I took the mk out for the second spin!
I had 3 major problems this time!
1.) the quick release boss kit did not working properly and the wheel keep diattached the boss and ending u holding a steering wheel in my hands
without being connected anywhere. I trying everything to fit it correctly but it just wouldn't click correctly, didn't click at all! That
is very dangerous you know..
2.) the brakes where horrible! The petal felt like pushing a sponge and the brakes wouldn't be enough to stop the car. I check the pads are fine
the discs too, maybe needs bleeding??
3.) The cluch keep slipping all the time in the begginning after a while worked fine, and later start slipping again, I accellarate fasr on 2nd and
3rd and seems to slip until 6k and then working fine!(by the way that was the first time accellarate fast with the car and I am imppressed I have to
say!!
I know that I left the car off the road for a month and a half since I bought it is this excuse everything? The previous owner saying that the car was
fine when he gave it to me, and I believe him cause he took me for a spin before I buy it and was alright then. Did I killed my car simply by leaving
it without attention for 40 days?
I know already that I killed the battery...

Firstly do you have a pic of the type of boss you are using?
With regards to the brakes It does certainly sound like air as the pedal should be firm from about 1/3 of the way down. Just be aware though that
without a servo they will not feel like a normal cars brakes.
I wouldn't have thought that leaving the car stood should cause clutch slip on a blade.

Just another point. Have the springs been uprated in the clutch?

I have no idea, neither the previous owner.
The only thing I know is that is a wet type clutch

sounds like you need to bleed the brakes once again. do you have rubber hoses fitted?
I found I had a similar problem before I put on braided hoses, (could have been due to not bled properly but did it 2 times so doubt it).

Regards the clutch, make sure bike oil is used, car specific causes slip.

I have braided ones, but I dont have bleed them at all.
I dont know what oil has at the moment but I do have 4L of Q8 Moto oil sitting in my store I might change it to see if it is going to make any
difference.
I will post pics of the bodd kit tonight!

Hello all again!
I went out again today. Same thing clutch slipping... after 6-7k the clutch doen't slip, or sometimes doesn't slip at all.
That is weird cause if it was a clutch problem this should happend all the time.
I cant understand what it is going on...

A clutch doesn't have to slip all the time, just when it reaches a certain torque figure. IE, at higher revs where the torque may start to drop
off it has enough bite to transfer all the power, whilst at lower revs/more torquey parts it'll slip. Happened on an old car of mine. You could
floor it, the engine would rev to 5k and stay there as the car accelerated up to the revs, only then would the revs increase.
It could be the clutch dragging too, as that could be intermittent.

Is the clutch coming fully off every time or is the cable snagging somewhere?
Don't use the standard motor oil as previously mentioned. Make sure you put a bike oil in ideally from Honda if in doubt.

To bleed the brakes you need a pressure bleeder about £15 , a piece of wee to use as you will never get the air out of rears,

I checked the clutch wire seems to work fine. I have Q8 moto oil in my posession at the moment, the previus owner gave it to me.
where can I get the bleeding pressure thing you mentioned?

I'd changed the oil, just to be sure. Whilst the oil is out, whip the clutch cover off and have a look to see if there's anything not
right, such as a loose spring or misaligned plate etc.
