Apologies for the poor quality. I'll take some nicer photos once I get more red film and finish this up! :lol:

So after a fun weekend of autocross...
![]()
....and not giving a damn about my clutch....
I came home Sunday night and got straight to work pulling my tranny in order to install this goodness:
![]()
Went to bed at around 2:30am, got back to it at 9am and had everything but the driveshaft and exhaust back in by 11! Once I'm home from work I'll finish up and start the break in period because there's another autocross in three weeks followed by a 1,200 mile trip the next weekend! :lol:
Plus, I have something else on the way.. Wonder what it could be :icon_wink:
__________________
EDIT: Finished my clutch install in about 8 hours with no major issues besides the usual difficulty of mating the transmission back to the engine.
So far I can say that having an OEM flywheel is much better than my old 8lbs-lighter ACT flywheel which made my car idle poorly and die on a regular basis (maybe due to the lack of weight/momentum?). Anyway, I love the set up: This clutch gives the same amount of grip during it's break-in period as my old OEM clutch did when it was fully broken in.
I have 450 miles of city driving left and hopefully I'll have that all done by my next autocross on the 3rd of next month! Until then, I'm waiting for my new scoop to arrive and am trying to decide on which vinyl to get for my half-wrap... :icon_wink:

This is now a working, functioning thing. I'll be making a more "professional" and sturdy version of it when I come across some free time. For now though, it gets the job done and directs air right through my TMIC, keeping temps down and engine response up! :lol:

Look who got a JDM FSTI-Style scoop!
If you want the photo in wallpaper-size, just click on the resize bar!

No problem :biggrin:
I don't know about the leak yet - I'm at work until 8 and then I'll go home and see what I can find.. Hopefully it's something like a hose *fingers crossed*
