To be quite honest, the only reason I'm driving a X right now is because of an avalanche that started when I upgraded my VIII's tranny and tcase. I also went with an ACT clutch at the time and regretted the whole job. A nightmare and many trips to the shop later, I ditched the VIII. I was very sad at the time, but no one could solve my problem. I'm now happy with my X so it's all good.

seems the general way to go is get the exedy twin, so +1 for that. I dont have any regrets, but as someone mentioned earlier, I also have the Turbo XS exhaust and its quite loud and can get on your nerves on any long drive.

anyone put something on their car and wished they would've gotten a different brand,part, or just straight out never did the modification in the end?
for me it would be my clutch, i have really bad lock-out past 6500rpms and no matter what i cant change it. i wish i would have got a Exedy Twin disc instead. sad thing is i had the money at the time too... i dont know why i went with ACT
when i get my built trans, i will not hesitate to put a twin disc in. live and learn i guess

My biggest mistake is I went with a HKS Carbon-ti and turbo-xs downpipe. I wish I would have gone with the Buschur Bullet TBE. Could have saved myself some money and would have been much happier.

About 2 weeks ago i just rebuilt my Gf's 06 Ix with all new Synchros, and one gear due to a missing tooth. WHile it was down installed the ACT Extreme CLutch Kit with ACT Prolite FLywheel. I have no problems, and the car drives amazingly well.
