I removed the Clutch and FlyWheel as well as the pilot bearing bushing and throw-out bearing. Very straight forward the only hard part was the removal if the pilot bearing bushing but all you have to do is wet some paper and insert it. then with a 10mm socket and extension just tap and repeat stuffing and tapping till out :poke:

For the love of god, please tell me you had the flywheel resurfaced or atleast cleaned it before you put the clutch on.

Good work, I remember tearing apart my first coupe in 05 doing all of this for no reason :biggrin:

NEXT, i removed all the old exhaust studs out for the new exhaust system
TIP: Good way to remove them is using two nuts and lock the nuts and turn from the outside nut.

The exhaust manifold that i got was a megan 4 to 1 and its SOO shiny :chuckle:
i love how it looks with the valve cover and the new nuts

SINCE then i have ordering parts like a mad man :mad: ... ONE cool thing that i did was remove all the hard lines in the engine bay wit the chase bay kit. It really cleaned the engine bay and easier access to the brakes. :biggrin:

Also removed the clutch line to complete the upgrade

So i had a brake light problem for a few days now and had to look online for different solutions first i checked and changed the bulbs. Then i checked the fuses under the steering column and found the the stop lamp fuse was blown, but after all that no change :facepalm: ....So next i had to check the Stop lamb switch which is directly over the brake pedal $10 bucks at ya nearest auto part store and was good as new :gapteeth: :bigthumb:

Me personally I love it cuz i feel a lot more pressure from the brake pedal as i am pressing down to stop. the only thing i would say is to have your sizes and length down pack if you are making your only AN lines. also the process of bleeding the brakes is very tasking but worth it in the end. AS for the Chase bay lines.... i think they are good and worth the buy if you don't have a place to have them custom made. They only come with the lines for the front brakes and to the proportional valve leading to the rear,besides that they are great! :gapteeth:

AND i like the way your car is looking in the picture, hope i was a help :dblthumb:

So i was driving my car last week and i was going over a few dips here and there and hit and bump. :mad: i heard a big bang and lost all back pressure from the exhaust. :nono: so now my car sounds like a lawn mower till i get my exhaust that i ordered yesterday. On the mean while i removed the broken exhaust. :facepalm: Enjoy!!!

Welds where breaking and coming apart all over the exhaust

So i got my exhaust in and it was better then i expected. The sound of the car when turning on sounds deeper and even when at idle. :blush: ISIS really did their thing with it. everything on it is BEEFIER then my old exhaust, and the welds are amazing!!! :spitout:

ONLY problem was that i had to remove the silencer due to a clinking when revving.
Which only made it louder. All and all i love the part and it was a great addition
