LOL. Rental cars are the ****, you just buy insurance on it, for like 7 bucks a day, and beat the crap out of it.

I went to Florida for a week a few years back for the PRI trade show, and they gave us a Caravan....we got that thing airborne a few times, then we had to take it back and get a new one. Don't try jumping a curb at 35 mph, not good.

Then we took that one back, cause we went to Lollipops and got shathouse and someone threw up in the back, good times.

That's why you never buy a rental car.

Anyways, yeah, get a rental car and take it to PIR!

I was always under the impression that rental cars are like $100.00 or something for a day?

no - get the most bottom line econobox and it will probably run you half that or so? You can play with some of the options since you won't have it all day. hell, get a uhaul truck (pickup or van) for a 12-hour rental and you should be good!

Hrm, maybe. I'll see what happens.

I need to save some money for my other projects though. I'm a stingy **** when it comes to car parts. Hehehehehehe. I get what I want, everything else is second.

I think ER resurfaces the OEM as part of their install. John (or one of the ER folks) have the info.

Well, I'm going to pickup my clutch today from EAT Motorsports. From what I heard is that it comes with a Chromoly Flywheel in the kit. I'm not sure, I'm going to pick it up and take a look.

But no, I'm not going to get an aftermarket flywheel, I'm just going to keep the stock one and resurface it. But thats just me. =)

i asked because we all the that the oe clutch on our evo is a weak link in our car. so if the flywheel is also part of the pre mature wear due to whatever reason (not sure if it is), then would it be a great idea to pop an aftermarket (could be better than stock) flywheel in?

what do you guys think?

Just got my Exedy Clutch, opened it, and no flywheel. Guess I was told the wrong information.

Oh well.

I'm just going to have mine resurfaced. I don't bag on the thing or beat the crap out of it, so I should be good for another 50k miles.

Up to you man, if I had the money, I would do the whole "kit and kaboodle", but I'll stick with what I have for now.

I've called English Racing again, their voice mailbox is full. Couldn't leave a message.

Called Lucas Cell Phone which I got via the Shop Phone, got nothing.

I sent them an e-mail about 3 days ago, still no reply.

Is English Racing alive? *sigh*
Yes they are alive. Lucas is weary but happy that Aaron is coming back. you can PM Billy@Englishracing as another way to get in the queue
