As for the flywheel, not resurfacing it will excessively wear the new clutch because the surface of the flywheel will be "rough" against the smooth surface of the clutch. You basically want them to wear evenly. I think it is less than a $100 for that work. Still doing research. If I hadn't paid $1200 for a power steering ECU in May, I would be all over it. Since it is so high mileage, I'd rather not replace anything if I get rid of the car in 10K miles and the bearing will hold up. |

The risk with not resurfacing is that if the flywheel is not perfectly flat, you will not get even contact on the clutch disk. This could result in unusual wear and operation. Additionally, if you have a new pressure plate(which would come in the clutch kit), and don't replace or resurface the flywheel they will "grab" at different rates which could cause issues. Generally, if you don't replace or resurface the flywheel you at least want to roughen the surface to "break the glaze", to ensure everything seats correctly. A 2" 3M sanding disk on an angled die grinder would be my recommendation.

If you have the driver side mat as well, the mat ends up scratching up the dead pedal and vice versa. The back of the mat will turn silver and the pedal will have black scuffs. In case you care. At least thats what happened to mine

Stock valve springs failed outside recall and I got GSC 5756 valve springs installed with a fresh set of spark plugs this week. It was expensive since my warranty was void. But I had the option of upgrading the springs since I was paying for the service. It drives okay so far.

Snuck in a rinseless wash using my tiny ass garage. I had to open the door and reposition the car to do the other side 😆 .
Topped it with a Sio2 Sealant for my coating. It was only clean for 2 minutes, but worth it. |

Just curious why you went with the GSC 5756 valve springs and not OEM. Are they better than OEM? Did a dealer do the install or someone else? |

Took the girl mudding this weekend for the first time, trip up to Western PA. I swear, I'm learning more and more things about this car as time goes on. Still hella responsive in mud, I think the VikingContacts are doing what I wanted them to do. Definitely needs a bath before I throw my OLM VLs on her, though. lol

I'm still working out OEM vs generic Exedy parts with the shop. The supplier isn't getting back to them. With the generic parts, it should be about $1050 total for parts and labor and resurfacing the flywheel. Right now they are saying $1250. Not as bad as I expected. Some people were saying $1600-2000. |

Yes, my car wasn't in the recall but the springs failed anyway. I am not sure if it was related to FI or just a defective part. Dealer did the work and asked if I wanted to go with an aftermarket spring set with better specs since I am paying for it anyway. Since my engine is boosted, I went with GSC 5756.
