Test Drive My Speedster—Cars and Coffee

Scott,

Syl M. and I usually go to at least 1 C&C on the weekends if the weather is good. There's one on Saturdays at Great Falls, Katie's starts at 6:00 A.M. (yes, it's crazy there tons of cars thoughand if you don't get there by 6:30 there's usually no good parking left)and one on Sunday at Fast Eddies Fairfax Circle and another better one on Sunday out in Sterling. The Fast Eddies starts at 8 turn out has not been too good there lately as folks are going to the Sterling one.

Syl is a pretty darn good Speedster guy so he may be able to help. PM me and I'll give you my number.

Scott, my first speedster was a cmc. I will tell you first hand it takes a while to dial everything in. First the shifter, there are a few shifters out there but mostly it comes down to two, i would say the stock type which gives you a lot of play or the short quick shift type that is tighter on the throw with less play i like the stock type due to it feeling and looking more original i had both and changed them when i needed something different. Now the clutch pedal feeling tight? it might be binding disconnect it and have someone keep tension on it with a string while you press it to see if it feels tight and have that person listen at the rear for rubbing or metal to metal sound indicating binding. If no binding is felt or heard it might just be someone slapped a heavy duty clutch plate in there that takes a little more umff to push. gas pedal to loose ? which way side to side when u push down? worn out pin at the bottom of pedal   or return spring to weak, it all depends which way its loose? As for your feet hitting the column does not sound right can u post a pic for that one, good luck

When I bought mine it had a 3/4" inch plywood on the floor.
