Looks different to me. The metal stamping has a bulge ring around the center near the seal vs the old one when it just slops down to the seal. That and a few other things.

The longest I've held onto a car was either this one or my 93 Miata at 6 years. My plan with this car is to keep it indefinitely. Seeing as how I also have a truck, my FRS will not necessarily be a...

Love these wheels, but I think I'll hold out for the TC105X when they come out. Looks like they made a few changes to the wheel. Just wonder if the weight will remain the same or lighter.

I think Exedy is the OEM suppiler for the stock clutches and flywheel for these cars. So I would think they would use OEM throwout bearing? Maybe? Either way, I also have the Exedy Stage 1 organic...

You shouldn't have to look down at the rpms when normal driving. Just shift by the feel and sound of the engine. The shifts should be nice and fluid. No pausing or waiting as Summerwolf stated....
