Installed the JWT clutch/flywheel combo. Still in the break-in process, so I can't comment on the performance, but damn does this thing grab!

My brother and me installed a Carbonetics triple disc clutch yesterday. No pics but it makes a hell of a difference. My car revs up way faster than it did before and certainly seems to accelerate quicker. Yes, it is an incredible amount of overkill for my Z

The clutch feels a bit too strong for the street in my opinion. It's not labeled as a stage 1/2/3, etc, but I have had stage 3 clutches in my previous cars and this feels just like a stage 3. I stalled once trying to get used to it, but got the hang of it slowly.

Now I have an excuse to go for random joy rides and cruises when I'm bored to rack up the mileage so I can get the break-in period over with. THEN I'll report back with how it really feels

Test fitted a B-Magic Battle Series CF hood I bought, it's decent atm but it'll definitely take some more work to align properly but it might be due to previous front end damage on the car. Looks a little agressive now and i'll have to find soomething to balance the rear off *cough* Sunline Racing GT wing *cough* (I don't have that kind of money lol). All in all, i feel like this :

You will need a lot more than just a wing to pull it off.
