Wow that is effing ridiculous. Wonder if either belonged to the forums. Hope his 2 days of having a supercharger were worth the rest of his life.

lol Par - you thinking of upgrading? Go with the JWT clutch if that's what you need to replace. What are your symptoms?

So does anyone have a spare Z emblem for the front bumper they'd like to sell? Mine is somewhere on the track at MAM south of Omaha.

Yeah clutch and flywheel, gets stuck to the floor when i do hard shifts after the wheels lose traction. I'm going with either act street clutch and streetlite flywheel or the jwt clutch and fly. Ive found the jwt clutch and fly for 650 shipped brand new , and found an act clutch 500 shipped brand new and act streetlite fly used for 100 shipped. The tension is killing me, and my mrev2 has not showed up yet and i am getting a little worried sighhhh

I didn't even know there was an event , but yeah I'm going to go. I never seen a drift event before in person. Does anyone have a link to the event? Btw, should I bring a mask for the ridiculous burned rubber smell?

This might not be the clutch... might be the master cylinder. might just need replacing, or as easy as bleeding the system.

if you are doing a clutch, use new components. If you can get a JWT for 650, it's about as cheap as you can get. JWT is bascially a modified stock clutch, but it comes with a lightened flywheel. for 650 I would go with that

I've read it may be the slave cylinder also, I was eventually going to replace the clutch and fly so figured why not, along with getting stuck it has lost pressure and usually makes a poping noise when i let the clutch out.

only question mark about that day is that it is the day after my brother's wedding. I don't really drink, but have been known to on VERY rare occasions. this might or might not be one of them.

Got my mrev2 in the mail today and installed it. The guy actually sent me the mrev2 AND 5/16 iso thermal plenum spacer all for 280 shipped haha. Currently have no use for the spacer since i have the v+ upper plenum but either way its sweet! The car seems a lot different, the way it sounds the way it drives but all in all I am pretty satisfied.

Let me get back to you on that Alex I will likely keep the setup i currently have so i will prob be down to sell it, gonna do a bit of research first. Wont be for very much since i got it for a pretty good deal. Ive also got the copper throttlebody heater and coolant bypass that came with it and some random assorted hardware for it looks to be pretty complete.

Sounds good, I don't need the throttle body heater or bypass since I made my own bypass and its a summer car only.
