welp today I got my car running again

I installed the following parts

-transmission(thanks kelvin, shifts great)
-SHO Source 8lb flywheel
-Clutchnet clutch disc(this looked awesome, the hub design is the best I've ever seen)
-Ceramic TOB
-new ps rack
-new twice as big as stock PS cooler
-20.5mm/26mm swaybars instead of old 24/23

transmission shifts great, flywheel is barely noticeable, especially when you factor in I'm breaking in the new clutch and getting used to the new pedal, If you told me it was a stock flywheel I'd believe you, the only thing noticeable about it is the RPM drop off between gear changes.... getting started is about the same, all those people who say its so rough and not to even use it on a street car... I don't even want what they are smoking.....

awaiting alignment and to give it another once over tomorrow and I'll go see how these new swaybars feel.......

Cool. Just be careful with those swaybars. Don't want you to back that thing into a tree or something.

What trans fluid did you use?

here's some pics I took while I had it apart, some shots of underneath to show how nice the chassis is, its dirty as **** from the rack leaking, but no rust! I need to do under there with some degreaser and about 30 rags and scrub the **** out of it.....Threw in a shot of the old a/c deletion mod...

Which clutch did you go with from clutchnet? Before I picked up the CM3, I wanted to check out what they offered but ended up breaking down and buying a CM3.

Glad you got it back together.

its just the cheapest one they had, it was like 125 bucks, stock organic type material, reybestos is printed on the friction part.

the hub of it is nice, all the springs are fully enclosed..... on their website now they have a video, some parts show how they are made.... This clutch looks really heavy duty..... its a shame I didn't take any pictures of it, but if you put it next to a stock style clutch disc, it makes that look like its a 5 dollar made in china pos, while this one looks like a million bucks

cool. Glad to see it up and running.


X2 on the flywheel. People act like driving stick is totally different with it. (I think they can not drive stick very well :) )

at that point I'd rather go turbocharged..... cheaper in the long run.... gotta get expensive in a hurry just to refill bottles at that rate...... especially if you actually use it a lot...

i've never used nitrous before, if I had a zex kit, spraying about a 100 shot through 2nd, 3rd, and some of 4th.... how many runs would I get before the bottle doesn't have enough presure?

"(1)(a) Any person using, operating, or driving a vehicle on or over the roads or highways of this state shall, upon approaching any school bus which displays a stop signal, bring such vehicle to a full stop while the bus is stopped, and the vehicle shall not pass the school bus until the signal has been withdrawn. A person who violates this section commits a moving violation, punishable as provided in chapter 318.

(b) Any person using, operating, or driving a vehicle that passes a school bus on the side that children enter and exit when the school bus displays a stop signal commits a moving violation, punishable as provided in chapter 318, and is subject to a mandatory hearing under the provisions of s. 318.19.

(2) The driver of a vehicle upon a divided highway with an unpaved space of at least 5 feet, a raised median, or a physical barrier is not required to stop when traveling in the opposite direction of a school bus which is stopped in accordance with the provisions of this section.
if there is a median there take it to court and fight that shit.
