Nah, it's not about winning for me. It's my time that bothers me. I was gunning for mid 12s and i was hoping to do it since i lowered the tire pressure. Last time i ran 12 i was on stock 35psi tire pressure so i thought i could get a better time with the lower tire pressure...didnt work out as planned.

So u clearly have the win.

Anyways, on to the stage 2 mods for me.

dammm it!

well turns out my clutch is slipping...greaaaat, so i did a clutch pedal adjustment just to see if that would help and no go pretty upset but hey it is a wearable item. With that being said, when i bought the car the guy said he put in what he thinks is an ACT clutch but doesn't know what specific kind of clutch...moron...but i do know that it is an aftermarket clutch and it is extremely rough to engage...I prefer a clutch that way, this is my daily driver so would someone recommend a clutch and flywheel that requires some sexy leg muscles to engage and a decent flywheel? err maybe someone has one for sale?? anything helps guys

Hey where is a good spot to take a traffic ticket? Does CPK still do it? Or the "Pink Building" or whatever?

I haven't got a ticket in like 4 years...

Its a complete clutch setup it comes with a flywheel. The tob clip popped out at the track, I replaced it. Went with the new QM twin because the exedy hates life if you launch with more 500trq. The fork stop is stop the clip from popping out on hard shifts. Its cheap because nobody is going to pay 1K for a used clutch. Its been sitting in the box in my garage for a year because I might convert it to a triple if QM doesn't last.

CPK hooked me up, the process took less than 10 mins and they go to court for you

They charge 50 per ticket

I just pulled out an ACT HDSS with street light flywheel. I would sell that for a good price as it only needs a new friction disc. usually sells for 900 new.

Good price. Exedy twins run for 25-30k miles and rebuilds are cheap too.

Man, I remember when CPK didn't charge $50 for that crap. But yeah, they're pretty good. I'm not sure if they moved already but last time I was there, they were going to construct a new building.

As for ninja, I would go with exedy twin as well, but the stock clutches are exedy street already...at least it is for the Xs.

the 8 housing are chrome and the 9's have black chrome . time for you to step it up to a jdm piece. I can use your driverside headlight to make a headlight duct.
