**UPDATE**

Motor out of car and here is my second exedy twin clutch According to Jorge its going to need a rebuild. Thinking about selling it as i have a exedy carbon anywho might keep it and rebuild it who knows. BUT according to them had some rust action LOL thats what happens to you evo boys in the NORTH all that salt well im glad its all coming out. Only bad news is they said i should get another oil pan due to rust so another part but i want it done right lol.






Example of rust LOL


I spy a NISSAN Motor the Head Mech is working on

that is why mine sits in garage. no rust on mine. im doing my suspension now so everythings torn apart suspension wise on mine. doin all bushings and coilovers.

i never experienced any rust like that on any of my cars tho, i think that evo sat for awhile or something???? either way it probably all rubs off.

every one I drove felt like very stiff and has been confirmed by tuners and vendors alike, maybe you got lucky or have some other ideal situation.

After driving the cusco twin and it's practically the same as the exedy except a little better in some aspects I chose the cusco twin
