Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT ???
« on: March 22, 2007, 23:28:51 »
Aloha from Maui....My clutch pedal engages about 6 inches down from the top of the pedal. How do I get it to grab higher up, as I think 3-4 inches is correct...I tried pulling up on the pedal to adjust it like the manual says, but it doesn't work at all......Mahalo.....Gregg

Aloha.....Just got all the factory info from Mark IV and my car had "black wheel centers"from the factory......anyone else have different color centers?  Guess it was either special ordered or they just did it to set off the car......

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / 1600 hours to make a Mark IV!!
« on: January 02, 2007, 18:51:38 »
Aloha...In my owners manual it says it takes 1600 hours to make a Mark IV!! OK.....in 1987 at let's say $15 an hour (very conservative) for a factory worker that's $24,000 without the cost of any materials. These cars sold for around $40,000.....did they just lose money? Even if I count only 15K for materials and powertrain costs the selling price doesn't make any sense......what a great deal these cars were!!
