Mike W at RRE, has had a standing offer for the last 10 years.. He will fix anybody's lockout issue's with ACT clutches for FREE.. You know how he does it?
Simply adjust the clutch engagement properly. 95% of ACT clutch lockout issues seem to be user's incorrectly adjusting clutch engagement and the other 5% seem to be installation error or actual oddball MFG defects...
I've had an ACT XD 2900 for the last 20k and rev to 8k sometimes, and I've never had a lockout.. But then again I make well below 400/400..
--- But worst mod for me, was the Masterkit polyurethane bushings by ES. Because they took forever to install!! Longer than a clutch install ! Haha but the results were great

Trying not to regret any mods. I will admit I change my mind CONSTANTLY (female problems)... lol but I just want to avoid making mistakes like I did when building my VR4. (now sold thank god) I have good deals on 18" AND 17" wheels and some rare ones too. I don't want to put 18's on my VIII but the one set is rare so I am stuck. ahhh

I loved the3000GT VR4 back in the day, that was till I bought one. 2 months later sold it for a Mazda RX8

You wont regret it throw some 18" wheels they will look much better and if you don't you can always put the wheels your running now back on.

I said this once before but i need to say it again, my biggest Mod Regret is the Prostort gauges.
I had 3 from my RX8 (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp) the oil pressure gauge I had fix 2 times and I bought AF, and boost when I got the evo. its been a little over a year and the AF gauge quit before christmas and now 2 days ago the boost gauge stopped work right and started flashing. I started with 5 now i got 1 (the water temp) is the only one that works. Now i need at lest a boost gauge.

Going too high on the spring rates. 9,11 is just too much for Michigan roads. Also too loud of an exhaust. I think this year will be spent just making the car more livable everyday.
