^^^I have done that before plenty of time, direct TV gave me 6 moths of all the channels at the basic rate. They didnt make the install at the time they promised, cars Sirius radio was free until recent, got the new phone im now using for $20 from $150 cause I told them I was canceling at the end of my contract. I have done this plenty of times and will continue to do it till they say no, then I will ask to speak to the district manager.

Damn straight, more important things to spend money on like mods!

I'm determined to get my X turbo swap done for under 2K.

Still looking for an exhaust manifold BTW...anybody.

You gotta ask....KevinD.

Evolution Dynamics charges $600 for a clutch install...but at least you will know it was done right.

Sucks your clutch is going out. Saw the Evo when I stopped by work this afternoon. Honestly, I'd be all for giving you a hand with the install but I'm on the road tomorrow a.m. and won't be back for a couple of weeks.

Don't get the ssp cmc, there was a guy at awdtuning last week who was having issues with it. Read up on them thoroughly before hand. He mentioned alot of others having issues also and that when he contacted ssp they offered him a refund.

Well the stock CMC will go out with a twin disc whether hard driving or not. so what do you get Pat ? Im not being a smart *** and doubting you so dont think that. I know the AMS CMC ring is not worth a damn. Ive read that on here with CMC still breaking with them on. Well i wanted the ssp but now want to do more research. if i cant get something reliable ill stop dead in my tracks for modifying the X. because thats my lost mod i wanted to do was a clutch. i would almost rather go back to stock if i cant find anything. whats the sense of power when a CMC cant handle a more powerful clutch. you just suck it up as a loss and settle for less?

ya i know the stock will go out but i forgot the alternative he went with but i will pm him cuz i have his s/n and ask wat he did again. but i know the ssp is made out of aluminum but the piston is iron or somethin weird like that so it was wearing the cmc and he had metal shavings all at the bottom. He said he spoke to ssp and they recognized the issue and offered him a full refund because they hadn't fixed the issue yet. Once I get a pm back ill let u guys know.

Thats what the car was made for, beat on it, break, it upgrade it, replace it, have fun again. I wish everything was that simple, you should of gotten a Kia if you wanted to baby it, get out there (when you get to the states) and enjoy your car drive that b**ch like you stole it.

Well now I'm running the oem on with the AMS master cylinder reinforcement ring. It seems just fine. Ryan Gates used that with his for a long time and he has a stiffer pressure plate than me I believe.
SSP had leaky seals, different plunger designs, etc. It wasn't reliable enough for me to have piece of mind. When we took it off, there was black crap in the fluid leading us to believe that there was a seal about to be leaking shortly. The plunger was also damaged. Keep in mind, I only drove it from dallas to abilene and back. All highway miles. Installation was completed correctly.
Their installation instructions I received were also incomplete.

That's what he wrote me
