My stock clutch is still going strong. I'm about to hit 11k -- I would like to thank Greg again for adjusting the pedal. Engagement is sweet now!

Do you still have the restrictor in Paul? That's nuts. Eli and I are probably the hardest on our cars in the group and both of us got similar mileage (30k) out of the stocker.

Yeah Brendan...my car doesn't just sit in the garage looking pretty. I DRIVE IT!

I am not that bad...am I?

At any rate, I will be putting in an HD twin disk for sure. While the tranny is out I am going to send it in for a rebuild too. Then I should have no more problems.

Greg,
I do not have the restrictor in the slave cylinder, that came out when I put in clutch 3. The 3rd clutch lasted a while... I was quite impressed.

ya. ya.. dont be jealous of my nice clean pretty car.. I dont know why people think that I dont drive it?? I do.. But whats the point of driving it 1.8 miles to work where it will then sit in a parking lot all day doing nothing but getting pooped on by birds and other elements when I dont have to??

I'm in the same boat you are Brendan. However, my commute is 2.1 miles and I don't have a business vehicle at my disposal...crap.

Piece of cake. All you need is a 12mm wrench and the ability to wedge yourself under the dash to reach the adjuster at the top of the clutch pedal.

Adjusting the clutch pedal is a lot easier than removing the top bolt of the rear motor mount. Talk about an SOB.

hey guys, where can i get an good alignment around here. i asked all the local shops and they can't do anything outside of factory specs. i don't want anything super aggressive, i will be doing alot more autox events this year. i am not going to be doing alot of suspension mods first, MAYBE some swift springs. i have only autox'd twice so i obviously need the learn the car first in this arena. however, it would save me another alignment if i got the springs first. let me know!

oh yeah, you guys may or may not remember me. i met some of you at dave and busters earlier this year and i saw carter and couple others at an autox event- my wife is pregnant! she is going to let me get some "mods." i already have baby on board stickers she got me so no one will "want to race you." i also get some nice seat covers and a recaro baby seat! she did get me UK badge. i'll post pics!
