Sorry about the damage to your car!

Thanks man, you live and learn and go bigger.

I am waiting on word from the clutch manufacturer before I say too much good or bad.

Wow. The amount of damage is amazing. I think you became the new posterboard for the use of a scattershield.

ThreeSpeed Scattershield would have prevented some damage.

If i had to guess it would be a Carbonetics Clutch as i have seen them explode on several occasions.. However if i remember correctly they have different slave cyl setup so i am not 100% sure.. Flywheel looks to be exedy and with all the AMS parts on the car i am betting exedy.. Interested to know though..
