good morning good fellas!

so i got offered full-time work but its all the way in torrance. they're offering 17-18 an hour (if you break it down from salary) but i really have to factor in gas and the commute there. If I can get around $20/hr, do you guys think i should do it?

get a bike playa playa


look into it and what you actually need to do ? if school is a priority then stick with school and get some financial aid, if money is the issue then id work but remember that commute would definitely suck ***** though bro and gas aint no joke...

just think about it but congrats regardless, i wish you the best in which route you do decide to take

danny used to live in gardena out there, theres alot of jdm and kdm ppls out there some nice spots torrance would be other place id rather be then glendale or west la

i gotta hit up andy down the line for a clutch/flywheel possibly and probably maybe HFCs or something if i cant find those used
JWT clutch/flywheel combo will actually cost you a couple hundred dollars compared to OEM clutch/flywheel combo. The reason is heavy ***, dual mass OEM flywheel costs about $900 whereas JWT flywheel costs about $400.

Don't do it even at $20/hr. Pay is not high enough.

We want to just run the jwt flywheel with oem clutch. Not aftermarket.

Not that much of difference in price between OEM clutch and JWT clutch as well. Since Ben's OEM clutch is going out as well, why not replace it with JWT clutch? Clutch feel will be MUCH better with only half the clutch pedal travel and much lower engagement point. I just can't stand OEM clutch for the Z.

Really? I like the oem clutch. The jwt is nice but I still prefer the oem. How have you been btw Kev? I haven't seen you in forever.

Oh also if anyone knows of anyone that needs work done on cars let me know.
