I have the wilwood master as well.... Mine is the original with the reservoir down low, new one i believe has been improved with the reservoir up top. The HD CSC is a must and the Wilwood complements it.... I was sick of my clutch issues so i went ahead and replaced everything.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the heads up.

Yah, haha. Well I'm actually Persian-Armenian, but born in the great state of TEXAS!!!! We call it hookah in Cali, going to lounges that serve hookah is common.

UPDATE: AGENCY POWER INSTALLED!!

install went well except i couldn't get the hanger ring to close flush...and ive been looking for a DIY for a single exhaust but i cant find it. I'm pretty sure I put it on incorrectly because at WOT rattle can be heard from the muffler. Any ideas guys?

The very well done packaging

A day later I had my cousin drive the car so I could hear how she sounds....(just a 3rd gear pull I believe, if this video is against the rules I will gladly take it off )

so there is a track event on the 19/20th of january. If I can order and install these parts before then I will finally be going back!

SPL Camber arms
Enkei wheel
JWT Clutch/Flywheel kit
Zspeed Clutch Slave
Hawk HP + pads

Then of course I will need an alignment and I will have to bleed both the clutch and brake systems.

nice progress. i run the same set up(kinda). ap single, art pipes, topspeed y pipe. i suggest you get the xyz pipe with resonator when you get the art pipes, or install resonators else where. it will need it if you wanna kill the rasp it has. i my self still need to get the resonator.

Thanks! Do you mean rasp from the exhaust or the pipes? At the moment the exhaust has no rasp and is very deep.

yeah, the the art pipes. when i had stock cats with ypipe and ap single the exhaust sounded perfect. when i added the art pipes i got all sorts of rasp, but its worth the mid range bump you can feel on the butt dyno.

That's weird, I was under the impression that one of the best benefits of the art pipes is the fact that it doesn't cause rasp like regular test pipes...

i never used test pipes, but i imagine they are a whole lot worse.

it might just be a combination with the AP since its a strait through design. but, i believe just adding the xyz pipe with resonator or hfc will solve the problem.

how are you bending the wheels?

not sure if you ever solved that ratting problem with the exhaust. but mine would tap against the diff. a little adjusting here and there pulled it away from the diff..also, the clamp is not supposed to close completely on the muffler.

Well on the track have you have seen those red and white shoulders on the side, I clip those a tiny bit and I am assuming I hit then a little hard...

Oh boy do I have news for you! The rear section of the canister wasn't even welded on (still isn't)! So I need to contact agency power to warrenty the part. I'll post up a video of it later today. 9K discovered this while inspecting the car before install. If they hadn't shown me I would t have found out.
