My friend's SR20 swapped 240 w/ 57 trim on it had a similar clutch. I remember stalling it about 10 times trying to get onto the highway from a gas station. The engagement window was EXTREMELY narrow - I'd hate to drive that car in traffic.

It takes a little bit of the 'ouch my nuts' if you power through it, rather than on decel. Or you can pay attention and swerve out of the way of the pothole

Mikie- if you really want to cough up the $$$ McMulkin Cadillac in Nashua, NH has a BlackCherry CTS-V that my friend Laura ordered then changed her mind on. Maybe you can make them an offer. She is friends with the owner and they were willing to drop almost $12k off the sticker price She asked me to ask around if anyone wanted it...

i've been pondering this for a awhile now. I'm convinced we can either machine a plate for the climate control relocation, or fiberglass the lower cubby alltogether. you weren't at the drag strip when we went. My buddy marin has a carputer, and fiberglassed a screen bigger then double din. looked real clean.
Oh and here is some news to me:
The stock 7 bolt mitsu fasteners are just as strong as normal ARP's. You actually do more harm than good by disturbing the OEM head sealing. If you MUST do headstuds go with A1's or ARP's L1 material. Its taken me about 4 years of drag racing to learn how to make headgaskets last on TRUE street cars that run close to 40psi boost on race gas and 30+ psi on pump gas.
