I break something every time I race...whether it be autocross, drag, or track day. This year has been some strange items. 2 coils, 2 plugs (both on cyl 5), 3 cam sensors, 1 crank sensor, and much more.

Doesnt matter if you take 2 or 10yrs off dragging, once you can legit do it, you just have to knock the rust off.

Well done!

Sorry I missed today

How is that OS clutch? I've been looking at getting one, my stocker is not happy with the nitrous abuse at all.

I wouldn't use the single with nitrous. Go double. It isn't the best for drag racing...awesome for track/autocross however.

Yeah i'm looking at the double. I'm hoping it's pleasant on the street. I do daily the car quite a bit, not looking for too much of a picky clutch.

Lol thats what i'm figuring. The stock clutch is already noisy and has a funky engagement though. I've dealt with my share of overly agressive FWD clutches, I still think i'll give it a shot.

JWT clutch FTW. Gets a little stinky after a few 1.6's but drives like stock. Holding down my 400wtq no prob.

Is the JWT clutch having any problems on HR or VHR cars?

My stocker is not holding up too well at the strip now.

I was thinking about an upgrade to the JWT, but I remember hearing problems with the pressure plate fingers and the throwout bearing/concentric slave not getting along.
