Damn, sorry man, already made some plans for some rolling shots tonight since it's nice out! I was just at Jacob Wirths on Friday for lunch! Had some great beer there! Maybe later on this week, we can do dinner or lunch man!

Anyways.... I've had some friends with the ACT and driven it, it's okay. Also with Tilton. All have ended up failing for him, and he's resorted back to the exedy.

Basically in the long run, the clutch is better and will last longer. If you really don't race your car too hard, you might get away with something "cheaper"

But when you have to replace the clutch and bend over and take it...

Besides, the exedy has such awesome pedal pressure, almost like stock!

marshall has an ACT 2600, and fidanza flywheel, i dont think he likes it much. it keeps locking him out, and forcing him to shift slow. he talked about it in this thread actually.

as for the exedy twin - i am a true believer. Its everything i want out of a clutch. I had DSG adjust it the way i wanted to, fairly high off the floor. and i can launch the crap out of it. i feel like i have perfect control over it, unlike the stock clutch - which slipped way too much i burned it out. i couldnt be happier.

oh and fast - high rpm shifting - it shifts like butter.

Looks ike some of our STi friends want to crash the meet on Wednesday. we'll need a decent-sized venue...probably near the natick mall so we can go grab pics after the meal...

Is everyone sick of Kelly's? 7:30? I think that will go best.
