| ok, so i thought i'd make an update on what ive been doing, since i got the car back together I noticed a litle bit of clutch slipage.. so I picked up an Xtreme kit, KFD26001XHD, a few weeks ago (Bathurst weekend) and was going to fit it during the week, but ended up burning my arm with second degree burns , so after several weeks of healing I was able to use it again.. and got a chance on monday to fit up my clutch .. |
