Talking exedy stage 1 and lightened flywheel

Just picked up my car got exedy stage 1 clutch and exedy lightened flywheel installed. Wow great upgrade! Thanks to huckernage for pushing me on flywheel. You were right I love it. Just get your left leg ready, def more effort now. Thanks to guys at THMotorsports and ProjectX for making it happen. Found my new mechanic

Definitely helps with rpm's. Everything (clutch, flywheel, slave, bolts, install) ran me about $1250. I love it but be prepared for a workout, stage one is stronger than i thought. I stalled it first time reversing out of shop, feels totally different.

Nice your gonna love it. It's going to be on the floor to start, but coming up already after 100 miles. Get your left leg ready no more floppy clutch. Finally got bushings in too. Everything feels rock solid now. Your 60 times should def go down once u get it down

That is why I went with the SPEC Stage 2+. It drives and feels the same as stock. I had to adjust my shifter after the install, so you may have to do the same.

Got about 300 miles on now. It's coming up and breaking in nicely. Might invest in zzp adj rod, well see how it is in another 300 miles. Very happy with clutch and flywheel!
