put a little bit of paint on the plastic nubs and have some one help you hold it against the car, line it up right and when you pull it away there'll be little paint marks for where to drill.

i like the fall pics, and good job on getting the tomei, i love the feel of them

photobucket will be back to normal in 3 days. i created a second account for posts within that time.

im going to upgrading clutches in the near future my exedy stage 1 is starting to die, ive been putting it off for a few months now but its time to replace it. Im probably going with a sprung six puck by clutchmasters or act. i was also looking into spec clutches but ive also heard bad things about those.

yeah don't go with spec. i've heard good and bad, so it seems like hit or miss. i recently picked up a spring 6 puck act with heavy duty pressure plate. after lots of research that seemed like the best deal. i can't say how it feels since my car doesnt move yet

^ it depends on the quality of the clutch and if it is sprung or unsprung.

I have the spec 6 puck sprung disc, and it is a little grabby. I haven't had any problems with the spec clutch (the disc looked fine when I had the engine out last month). Though, I don't think I'll buy another based on other experiences I've heard about.

accounts back up and running. along with that here is a tiny update.

its been really nasty out for the past few weekends so the 240 has been getting alot of playtime in the fallen leaves and wet roads.

along with that this came in the mail today. cusco ebrake drift knob thing.

took 2 mins to install.



also on Sunday i finally finished and painted the hatch after fixing the holes from the stock piece of s*** foam spoiler. it came out ok the paint is off but it will do until the car gets a proper paint job. And it sure needs it.

it really needs a nice wash and wax....

yeah 8 in the front with spacers they will be at about -3 offset and sit about the same as the mb do. Im not sure that I will be keeping these for very long. I really want some stich evolutions but every time I find a set in good sizes i dont have the money.
