new mods today!

just finshed installing UR oem size pulley and damn!!! i feel it! i can easily tell an increase in performance, engine revs up much quicker, especially when i hit VTEC the revs just shoot up. definately noticable, i love it worth every penny.

Also did SS brake lines - awesome! great pedal feel, works really well with my RB 2piece and ET500 pads

Finally i did the SS clutch line. Im kinda on the fence about this one. first thing i noticed was starting off in first gear was very good, very direct feeling. pedal feel is gona take some getting used to. I didnt miss any shifts and i drove it pretty hard, but something just feels weird. maybe i just need some getting used to it, but for the price im not dissapointed.

next on the mod list is CT Short Shifter and Shifter Bushings,might do Slave Cylinder aswell not sure yet.

not hard if you have a lift. that bitch is torqued on at 200psi so you need a huge breaker bar or if you have the pulley removal tool it takes only 30 min to install, roughly

Great mods. I have all of these, and even the one you want to do. They're all worth it!

which of one did you choose? the Crank Pulley
Stock Diameter Stock Belt Layout or the Crank Pulley
Underdrive Stock Belt Layout. I noticed there are two on the XLR8 website.

HOLY F*****G CRAP!!!! CT SS is amazing!

i couldnt wait any longer and just installed it about an hour ago and just got back from my first drive with it.

All i can say is WOW what an awesome mod to really make the TL feel like a solid Performance vehicle..

LOVE it. Next up bushings and slave cylinder mod, and still waiting for that flywheel and clutch to become available from XLR8 . Thanks for all the feedback and support guys. azine rocks.

oh i got the stock size pulley. i hear that there is not much difference in power gain so i decided to play it safer with the full size. also a great mod
