What polishing steps did you take with the manifold? http://www.rhdjapan.com/trd-steering...on-black-18856 For polishing, I just did some (I think) 2,000 grit sandpaper and then applied some metal polish with a powerball. It's not outstanding but it's a big improvement. I have some before-and-after pics I can post later. I'm sure more time sanding would have gotten a better result. |

I'm going to show a little love to mine today. I made the mistake of not wiping it down after working on the car one day, so started it up and all my beauty was gone. Are you using a quick release with the steering wheel? |

http://www.mothers.com/02_products/05100-05101_b.html And I used this tool, it made the process really easy: http://www.mothers.com/02_products/05141_b.html I would do some sanding (1000-2000 grit) first, I didn't get that great of result with the polish only. |
Go with the ACT XTreme clutch, holds like 400 ft/lb tq and the engagement on it isnt crazy

I will have to give that mothers polish a try. I already bought the Mothers Powerball (cone version). |
is your manifold looking a lil beat up or something Travis?

No, I was just working on the car one time, and coming in contact with the manifold and forgot to wipe it down before starting the car again. |

If you can afford to pull it off for a few days, just get it coated. I had a buddy of mine get my Dezod manifold coated Sterling Silver 1600*F, cost $50. It will be more for a PTuning manifold, and can be more depending on the color and temp rating of the coating. |

How does this look for a clutch and flywheel combo?
ACT HDSS clutch: http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...9&ModelDesc=tC F1 Racing chromoly flywheel (11.4 lbs): http://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-RACING-LI...ht_3389wt_1285 The car will be staying at the stock boost level and is a daily driver/street car. Hence the relatively light-duty clutch and medium-weight flywheel. |
Why ditch the stock fly wheel?
That's a good clutch I've been running it for 3 or 4 years now. it held over 300tq all day np up until my input shaft seal went and it got gear oil all over it. |
I just got this clutch installed last month along with a braided clutch line and a fidanza flywheel; the feel is amazing and I would definitely recommend it.
