Altho I'm still flying tho. I have fans. Lol . And they cheer even louder when you almost wreck. It didn't help with 3 cars already on flat beds. Oh well just sitting here in a car trailer getting drunk in the rain.

Spare time? You mean all that work was for free? NICE
Mike has done an awesome job (no surprise for you that know him) bringing the Red IX back to stock in less than 4 days including a complete suspension swap, complete re-do of electronics and gauges, alignment, exhaust, brakes rotors and lines, and everything else in between....
He's also in the process of going through the race car's motor to check and correct any issues and then will be putting together the new Shep tranny, Shep T-Case and the "top secret" Shep rear diff. The "real" fun will be the car wiring straight and trying to elimiate as much of the 25 lbs of harness while still getting the car to start
So in the end the fun will be a ~2700 lb "Mike Built" Jestr tuned stock ~320 hp robispec GroupN TT car available to terrorize your local track

The EXedy twin disks are very nice specially at your power level. Very drivable with plenty of holding ability but still a light pedal feel!!!
They chatter small price to pay !!!

Exedy twins come w/ flywheel. I'm not up on what precisely is availible for the X . But I do know the twin cerametalic HD is hard to beat in virtualy all aspects IMO. Especially at your power level

It's been proven that running without a oil cooler is not an issue for everyday use & drag racing . I will be personally running minus an oil cooler.
Now if I were to run road courses and hot lapping I would drop the cash and buy a new one. I'll cross that bridge once I decide to go that route
