So I finally got an evo

What's up everybody my name is Ben and I finally got an 05 evo 8 thats electric blue. I got it with 30,000 miles took it to the track yesterday and ran a 14.1. The clutch slips through first gear so I'm going to have to upgrade that in a few weeks. My last car was a 99GSX so I have an idea of the mitsubishi world. Anyways just wanted to introduce myself and I'm sure I'll have tons of questions when I begin upgrading.

I live on mcguire AFB in NJ,

The clutch is good through the gears, only when It's launched it slips pulls hard 2-5. I'm probly going to go with the act extreme with a street disc, I had an act 2600 in my gsx and it was nice.
