Not yet, and really don't want to ...the carbon fiber driveshaft gives you better throttle response and a much more solid feel...The prevailing wisdom, ( and we'll find out tomorrow) that it's clutch related.

I made the following mods which by themselves are good, but together they transform the car, all of which I learned about on this forum:

1. Heel toe pedal
2. Strut braces
3. B pillar harness bar ( amazing difference, really tightened up body)
4. Kart Boy short shift kit
5. Cusco carbon Fiber /leather steering wheel
6. Carbon Fiber driveshaft
7. Wilwood big break kit
8. Fortune coil over kit
9 18x9.5 wheels and Conti 255/35 18 tires

Each of these affect the way the car feels. I'm not a technical guy, but I have a good sense of feel, and all of these items I am touching, either directly or indirectly. Major enhancement of the driving experience. Combined with a 10psi turbo,(325HP at the wheel) every time I get in this car I feel like I'm launching the space shuttle. Haha except when I can't get it into 1st.

That may just be the price I pay for modding a car. When you go down this road, you become Dr Frankenstein, putting together parts that were not necessarily meant to be together. Once that happens, you can't complain that the monster is running amok in the village...
