thanks Alex.

On a side note, just signed up with some more vendors. Before my pricing was higher then what you guys could get it for. I'm sure I can meet or beat it, so be sure to ask the local guy for parts request... pm me. I can get pretty much any part and would like to focus on the Evo X guys as well. I'm working on getting a website, if anyone can help me with that let me know.

I don't know if I will get it out again this year. I need to get a dogbox for it, gets too expensive to rebuild these stock trans. So there are a few more things I would like to improve on the car, the next time it goes out, it should be all sorted out.

I gotta ask your guys' opinions. I ordered an act clutch/ gruppe-s flywheel. I was originally going to go with an exedy twin hd, but went with the act based on some local recommendations, the act feeling closer to stock, as well as it being much cheaper. But now that I have ordered it, I keep seeing a lot of threads from people ******* the act and talking about high rpm lockout being an issue and transmissions being messed up. Frankly it has me worried about my choice and whether I should turn around and sell it till I save up for an exedy. What do you guys think. My clutch is slipping really bad to the point that I'm having to rev up to like 4k rpms just to pick up speed so the clutch won't slip. The slightest throttle and it slips. It's driving me crazy.

I think my transfer case went out. There was a rattling/grinding sound i thought was coming from the transfer case so then i blew a tire and replace them with new stock sized tires. I was making a turn gave it more gas and a heard a super loud snapping sound and when it was in gear and the clutch released it sounds like the driveline fell out but is still intact. Also when the car is put in gear and the clutch is released i have no torque i guess the word is. It acts like the clutch is slipping but i just replace the clutch maybe 4 months ago. I took it to a shop but i was just wondering if anyone had an opinion or experience. Any insight is appreciated, Thanks.

I have the ACT HDSS and it's been awesome. Never a problem for me. You *DO* have to adjust it every now and then as it wears to keep it working perfectly. Right after I had it installed, it was not adjusted properly and that caused some grinding but after adjusting it, butter-smooth shifting.

I've never been locked out @ high RPMs.

One thing to keep in mind is that running a super aggressive clutch (i.e. a twin disc) is going to put more shock into the drivetrain on hard/fast gear changes. There is value in having the clutch slip a bit during those changes to ease the drivetrain shock.

I'd much rather have my ACT SS disk ($210) fail catastrophically than my transfer case (a heck of a lot more than $210).
