Sell your car independently and then buy mine.

This is why you do research before buying a car. The logistics of swapping a manual over, remapping the ecu and everything else. Not worth it.

On top of that you have the 197 hp rated auto motor compared to the 232 manual.

*face palm*

so you finally figured out you can't put a lightweight flywheel on an automatic eh?
Damn leo, letting him have it....

But I do concur, its way too much work, you void the warranty, and hands down the auto sucks and is for women

On a better note, wait, nope, there is no better note...

Goodluck

So, I ended up getting the ACT modified street clutch because the exedy was out of stock, no big deal

recieved my tires today, they are bad ***, hopefully they will last this time, the falken452's lasted about 14k and the toyos like 10k, these Eagle GT's are supposed to last 40k, with my driving, maybe 30

Got the braided clutch line, the front and rear tranny seals, oh and lastly I was able to scrounge the last of the Mazsport clutch pedal reinforcement kits, as the ACT clutch does make you feel like you are changing gears on a damn 18wheeler (robs car)

Count me in for tomorrow

we meet right here in the parking lot http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sadd...=UTF8&t=h&z=19.. just put in your address for exact directions. I believe Socket7 posted a link like this earlier.. but here's another one.

We usually start showing up between 7 and 730, then head for dinner around 8ish.
If any of the new people are running late you can call me 408 309 1887. Since the restaurant are on the other side of the complex and you don't know what any of us look like when we leave the cars to go eat.

Can someone please explain to me why people like really heavy clutches? Aren't the OEM ones rated to higher then a Renesis can put out anyways? I'm all for modding your car but why do things that make it harder to drive?

if you have a heavier foot then a heavy clutch will give you more feedback. Zach might have gone too far and underestimated his girly legs

LOL.... it's all about response time and shifting time. THe nice thing about that clutch is there is no more lag where the gear catches. But I concur with Matt, maybe he uses both legs?!?!

It's because Zach beats the **** outta his clutch. He needs something that can take a beating and last him a lil longer than OEM .. haha
