thanks for the info
I would assume it is more, driving habits than anything else. It was usually in my attempts to drag race that made my lcutch smell so bad. I wasn't so good with the launch Even when I'm racing around in the canyons now...I dont smell my clutch.

if you do your flywheel, you may as well change your clutch....it is a huge job to do either one....but done together it will save you money on install.

sorry to hear about your loss Rodger.

where did this happen...at your house? If so, guess it would give you a reason to set your internet camera up again.....

Rodger, any idea who might have done it?
I know it'll be painful but do you have pics?

I got an estimate of $800 to repair it at Caliber Collision.

I'll take pictures in a bit.

It happened at the Ralph's parking lot on Thursday night about midnight.

sorry to hear that...

I've got semi-bad news too, not as bad as Rodgers, just an update on my car over at Galpin.
I'm gonna make a thread but for a preview I get a whole brand new transmission

never heard of them..i just hope they can match your paint, I now think you take the cake for getting your body panels repainted the most! hahaha...

NGORX8 got his car back from autoexplosion and they actually did a great job, infact his fitment was even better than before and his paint matched...you might want to try them...heck I might even throw them a bone.

I had some work done on my last car from M2 in Fountain Valley. They're really slow but they guarantee so that's a plus.
The paint job came out pretty well so I'd look into them.
