Turn signal/brights, yeah, sounds like a plan. I didn't get to look at it yesterday, I went out and got some bolts to hold my old airfilters in place on my 145, so now I'm getting cleaner air at least...

Played with some other stuff on it, and the brakes feel REALLY spongey now(not really because I've been playing with things, but maybe)... I'll be doing a brake bleed sometime soon here just to see what that does if anything. The fluid in there now really is crap and dirty and really old though, so it should make a difference.

Put an extension on the back of the 142's exhaust so it exits out from under the trunk a bit more.

And re slipping clutch: Nope, this clutch has lots of grip, I can burn out with it better than I can with the 142, but then again, this has smaller lighter wheels and tires on it. But yeah, it doesn't slip at all, that's why I'm so confused! I do need to adjust where it engages though, it's near the top of pedal travel as opposed to the close to the firewall setting I've got my 142 at. I almost stall my 142 going from the long engagement, 4.30+ rear end(including the tire diameters), to the quick engaging, taller gearing of the 142.

Re leaks: Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for on the dirty engine oil spot, and then about the transmission, hopefully the rear OD seal is decent, we shall see I guess when I get this one filled up again and plugged back up with some mild thread lock.
