Yeah, it's nice to see a company actually put the time and effort into redesigning a pressure plate instead of just heat treating stock units to raise the clamping force. This does provide a very nice driving experience.

Now what is this about a kevlar twin disc from CM?

I can't see how I could have glaze it any worse than I did. Seems as though the old sand blasting method is more feasible for a vehicle with a more easily changed clutch than ours. So if you glaze it, just put a few hundred granny miles on the clutch and you'll be ok.
I can't remember, was yours actually slipping after it cooled?

It would barely drive, felt like I went back to my slipping organic as soon as I left the track.
