Default i know this is gonna be expensive :-(

My freakin clutch is starting to slightly slip @ 38,000. i can probably drive it till maybe 45 if im easy on it. anyways anyone on an aftermarket clutch and/or flywheel

im intristed in the TRD, JUN set up ive been hearing lately. is the clutch heavy? i dealt with heavy clutches like in the BMW M cars and Ferrari's they suck.

what will i benefit from a light flywheel? in future mods im lookin to add a blower and things here and there. i might autocross it if the mods get thereand. if you all can maybe give me an estimate on a price for labor and parts prices that would be helpfull

this sucks. only slips sort of bad when the car is cold

once they go you pay. unless the clutch fails at some weird early number like before 15,000 for example. but thats a hit and miss with the dealer.

i had a brand new 325 Xi i had to prep for stock and the clutch was fried. it only had 5 miles on it. looks like the cliuch was beat in germany or at the ports in jersey. oh well.

lookin for somwthing a little beefier for the plans i got in mind

Please don't think I am being negative in anyway.
You do realize of course that for the x's to be the most competitive in Autocross they prettymuch have to try and remain in the stock classes.
The second you put anytype of FI on it you will be running in SM (Street Modified). Of course if its all just for fun then it shouldn't matter what you run in as long as you have fun.
Just thought I would point that out so you didn't get blindsided.
