If it is not a mechanical issue with the slave, change the fluid in the clutch reservoir. It is likely contaminated (Viper does that) and if old, heat can make the fluid useless.
Easy way - use a turkey baster, empty reservoir, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth. Fill. Put cap on. Pump pedal...
DEI heat sheath should allow you to run it in the same path as the headers.
*FYI* If your o2 sensor wire tears/rips it will pop the ECU fuse and you are stuck. If that happens, unplug the o2 and put a new fuse in. The car will run in closed loop.
Reducing cabin heat soak is the biggest issue. There are some things that can be done to reduce it fairly easily:
1. Get a car with aftermarket headers or factory tubular manifolds (I believe they are from 1998+)
2. Replace cats with a modern cat - new EPA & CA compliant are more efficient and...
Girodisc is a great option for track use as they are a 2 piece design and have vanes to extract hot air out of the rotors. Brembo pads are also a great option, but they are very dusty compared to other brands (Stoptech, Hawk, etc.). I am a fan of Hawk HPS 5.0 for street & track use, but you...
Mine failed too, just not as extravagant of a failure, but left me on the side of the road.
If you have not already replaced your PS pump pulley, now is a good time.
These were discontinued on wholesale product lines and unavailable for around a year - I started making brake lines to fill the void - and recently they have been brought back in limited quantities, so shops not paying close attention will likely not have them available.
You have done all the great driver mods that really make the car more enjoyable to own and drive.
I think we have messaged about coilovers - feel free to DM me here - but the standard BC rates are a good setup for street use. Very similar to G2 ACR suspension.
Falling on its face at 5k is...
If you do not have an extended bleeder hose installed, the lazy way works fine for cleaning up the fluid.
Get a baster.
su[c]k all fluid out of reservoir.
Wipe down reservoir with rag/microfiber/shop towel.
Fill with new fluid & put cap on.
Pump clutch a bunch of times.
Repeat 2+ times.
GEN 2 do consume coolant (at least my 4 have) which I assume is from the non-sealed design of the upper tank. You might just be low on coolant and this is your first notice of it.
Take cap off and fill upper tank with water until it overflows. Start car. Stand there keeping the upper tank full...
Unless the X section is a larger diameter than the rest of the exhaust to offset the reduction in flow, the car is loosing power by necking down the pipe. X-pipes are used for sound.
