also forgot to mention kinda, they did replace my first clutch with out much hassle, i just had to ship it to them, so it was like $60 for the shipping company, everything else was covered
also i know the pressure plate is made by SACHS (OEM to alot of euro cars), and i think they also make the clutch disc, but i am not totally sure though

I don't know if I'm trying to spend over $1,200 on a clutch kit that's pretty expensive. I'll decide what to do soon.
#124
Does anyone know if p2r makes a clutch disc that's sprung?
#127
Will do thank you.

I'm not looking to be to loud because Virginia Beach cops are crazy here lol. I have a p2r test pipe for now that changed the tone some. I wish the headers and j pipe weren't so expensive I would buy those now also.

I installed the jtc short throw shifter and skunk 2 shift knob last night. It feels a lot better I like the way it looks also. I'm still waiting on my exhaust to come in. Here's some pictures enjoy.

Today I was switching the tires from this mustang I bought to flip. I decided to put the drag radial on my car just for laughs to see how it looks. The backspacing was wrong so the wheel didn't sit flush on the hub. It's a weld prostar 15x8 5.5 backspace mickey thompson et street 255/60-15 enjoy!

My pulleys came in today thanks excelerate!

I also installed my comptech mufflers about a week ago. The right side sits a little lower than the left but I will fix that when we make the custom mid pipe. I also don't like how far the tips stick out so will relocated the brackets to get them they way I want to sit. I bought comptech headers and j pipe today. Once those come I have to get them ceramic coated and I will also install those. Here's some pics of the mufflers for now enjoy.

It felt very light but then again I didn't weigh it. I would say maybe lighter than 1.5 lbs lol.

Out with the old in with the new. I installed the side mount that finally came in and the side mount. I took some pictures of the oem broken front and side mounts. The side one was completely shot.
#153
I know I need to adjust them asap. They sit retarded. They need to be pushed back and tucked up higher.
Great a lot better than the broken ones I had. It can get a little annoying during idle with the a/c on after a long period of time but I can deal with it. Far from the oem feeling.
Thank you.

As for your mounts I think you were the one that posted that video and your engine was moving a lot right? Something is definitely wrong. I'm going to change my trans mounts also.

I purchased a set of comptech headers and j pipe recently. After looking at them with a couple friends of mine we decided to upgrade the collector flanges on the headers and completely make a new j pipe with a better design. We ordered two 2 1/4 v band assemblies for the collector flanges on the headers, only a 1/4 larger than the comptech size. Were going to make the j pipe design a lot better instead of doing that half turn on the rear pipe. It will all merge together and have a 3 inch v band assembly. The mid pipe will also be 3 inch all the way back. Were completely removing the test pipe and mid muffler. It will then split into each comptech muffler. I will also use two more v band assemblies for each muffler connecting to the mid pipe. I might stay with the 2 inch or go a little larger I'm not sure yet. It might seem like over kill but you have to remember I will also be spraying the car with at least a 100-125 single nozzle wet shot very soon.
I'm open for any opinions or pictures of other peoples setups.
