^^Yea you can almost definitely get it done for less than $800. And I've heard some good things about Spec. When my time comes (ugh) I'll probably go with the Spec Stage 2+ and a lightweight flywheel.
I'm down. I'm sure we could get more people. I wonder if I should do this now or wait til I get more stuff on the car. Did they say how much they port it out to? I know stock it's 1.0L and a Harrop TVS (for comparison) is 1.3L. Just trying to get an idea. I was thinking maybe ported out to 1.1L?

my clutch is starting to slip from 1 to 2 under hard acceleration. maybe i'm shifting too quick? i've been driving stick for 6 years so i'm pretty much pro. also i used to drive a trailer so i can drive anything with wheels. anyways i called the dealer Weed Chevy and they said labor is only 800... however i will do some more shopping around because people talked saying they can get it done for 600-700. I will be buying a spec stage 1 nothing fancy and a lightweight fly. this will all happen over the months i have to save $$. if any of you guy's know places near philly or in philly let me know
when it comes to spec clutches , only get the spec + series, they are the good ones....wow, 800 is a lot...tphilly got his clutch done for less, plus i know someone on here in West virginia(5 hours drive) will get it done for 250.....idk if you willing to do the trip but you can't beat that....im sure someone around our area could do it cheap just haven't find that person yet...

Okay well after some ridiculous issues we kinda got it working. But when I put the stock headlight housings in there's like a centimeter-half inch gap between the light and the body panels. Anyone know how to fix it to sit flush like they're supposed to (halos did and it did when the car was new, obviously)? I'm just worried if it rains water is going to get in there and mess **** up.
