The car has been ok since the recent clutch trouble. The tranny is starting to go (started grinding gears months ago) and will need to be rebuilt soon. Along with being rebuilt, a Quaife LSD and a lightweight flywheel will be added. As for the clutch, after seeing the pics of the clutch, ACT decided to refurbish the clutch and pressure plate for no cost. I am very impressed with there level of service and commitment. The clutch wont be going back in until the other parts arrive. On another note, the car will soon be striped down to the frame and painted white (yea another change in the color lol). while were in there, all the little things that need to be replaced due to wear and tear (the previous owner was not very good to the car) will be replaced. At that time, the 99-00 front end will be installed along with the upgraded brakes and some other items. Lots of stuff coming soon for this car so be on the lookout!

After pulling the tranny and clutch, I found that the clutch disc is bad. I will have to put on a stock pressure plate and clutch until I get this replaced. You can see the pics of the damage here

5.8.02
The parts are all here for the disc swap. Last Friday, the clutch had some problems with have yet to be identified (most probable cause is the pressure plate) So the tranny will be pulled this weekend and checked out. Other than that, not a whole lot of new info

4.8.02
Installed a new Tanabe Super Racing Medallion, compared to the stock mid pipe that I have been running since the swap, its allot faster. I have nearly everything in order to do the complete disc swap, just waiting on some parts. Other than that, not a whole lot going on over the past month.
