Car looks really clean and with the CA it'll be even better. I noticed you have the nismo motor mounts on there relatively late. Those may take some time to get in if they are out of stock. You may want to get those sooner along.

Instead of using the Norris design pressure plate and clutch disk, i believe that Enjuku Racing MAY be developing a disk and plate combo with SPEC real soon. I hope to have more info soon.

I just like having a local alternative to Norris Designs

dude you live in northern VA????WHERE are you getting your motorset from?Noyan, in Manassas, had one I had arranged to buy then right before I went to pick it up they sold it, and the owner felt bad and is looking for another ca18det and said he will buy it and sell it to me at the cost we had agreed on for the first one. So I am desperatly searching for one in the hopes of keeping my swap project going. My ka doesn't have much life left in it, and I'm leaving this summer and wanted to at least get the mechanical stuff done before I leave. please email me, [email protected] asap or I'll check back tot his post. thanks!
