I figure I would price one out and see if I want to spend the money to have it swapped out (drive that bish to PA and get it done on the cheaps) But not 100% sure I want to do that or not, I will see how I like it this spring since i didnt really get that much time this past season to really drive the car considering all the time and money I lost out of the gate fixing things from Function:tuned.
Like I said before, give Gorka or Carlos a call and ask them for a quote. Their prices are really fair.

BTW, ask Gorka about his stage 4 cluch. I have driven his s14 with the RB20 he installed and it is a great clutch. Takes a bit of practice to get the first gear going right, but after that, is really easy to drive.
Its the easiest car to heel and toe I have been in. Specially with such a grabby clutch.


Although, I think Alberto is right. The car is so built that the only way you are going to really enjoy it is by using it the way is meant to be driven.
Daily driving that car is not a good idea since you will never push it.

This is in no part to you, rather the ladies there who didn't even know you that felt bad and saved you. Without them running to grab the bag and help, you would have puked on your chestickles.

Shut up.

Someone gave me a bag already when I sat on the couch, and I passed out, and woke up with it already in hand before throwing up.

Wrong.

We were all standing around tea bagging you when you started to regurgitate. It was at that point we woke you up and proceeded to help. You went from passed out to puking a few times the vid capture wasn't the only time.

Look in the vid, are you denying Barney's wife and my fiancée helped you?

You never cease to amaze me what a scumbag you are. The way you forget certain things, and remember others. You never truly take responsibility for your actions maybe that's why your half a$$ apologies go unheard and people dislike you so much.

Anything over $300 to swap a clutch would be more expensive then taking it back to PA. (not including the actual clutch)

I do not know how much is the labor. It is a RWD car, so it should not be much.

You should also have into consideration the time that it takes to go and come back from PA.

Well, it was just an idea


BTW, I have to take and post new pictures of my Rally RX7 now that we finished removing the interior and installing the roof vent and aluminum hood.

I have the ACT street clutch and flywheel. It's slightly tougher than stock but stock feeling enough. I think it's rated to handle 480hp? U can look it up.

You keep saying I did not do what Alberto was saying. I'll ask you straight up.

Shin, did you or did you not hit a car and leave the scene? If yes. Did you or did you not pick up your front tag before you left the scene?

Yeah but if I am heading home for something its not really a time issue. My dad could just drive it to work and I drive one of his other cars while he has mine. So The distance isn't an issue.

Want channels? read the Authors note, it would hopefully put your mind at ease on that. No classified information was released and he hired a special operations attorney to review it before publishing it. His purpose was to "Set the record straight about one of the most important missions in U.S. military history. Lost in the media coverage of the Bin Laden raid is why and how the mission was successful. This book will finally give credit to those who earned it." That's good enough for me to read it.

Actually the manuscript was never ok'd by SOCOM or the DoD and contains information that most definitely should have been redacted, which is not cool.

Nickels has a way of answering by beating around the bush, he said no he didn't but he wasn't taking about what you were talking about, or at least to him he wasn't.

Just like the hit and run, he hasn't said that he has not done a hit and run, just that Alberto's quote wasn't true, now it might have been sorta true but since it wasn't a spot on of what happened nickels will say it didn't happen its not true.

Just like someone and street racing, nothing bad comes from it if the car someone hit doesn't have people in it. So by that reasoning, there's nothing wrong with it, even if someone could have killed someone, since it didn't happen that way. It never happened. Plus if you hit a empty car it doesn't count as a hit and run.

Only way to get nickels to admit to it is by making it a straight and clear question with all the details being spot on. If you get almost all the details correct but say it happened on a Friday when it happened on a Saturday... Nope never happened.

No point in lying Shin because the truth is out there in writing
