^ sell your clutch...now that its still new you can sell it faster then get a better ones. Just my .02 so you would save labor fee and not to pulled it out twice.

Can I ask you why 2.3? Are you planning on road racing/autox?coz if its for drag you should just stick with 2.0 thats just my opinion.

Good luck with the car. If you need anything give us a shout. Not sure where in FL you are but i have a Buschur Built Motor in stock as well as a evo 8 stock motor with 5k miles if you need to just get back on the road..
