Just saw your video about your departure from subispeed. You’ve helped in more ways than you think. I know you’ll bounce back in no time!

Wishing you the best in your career Kevin!

I deleted mine, still able to defrost without issues and I love the weight savings. Interested to see how much it actually it removed. Also, you cxan now run the "defrost" as a way to keeping the radiator fans running at full tilt

Answering viewer questions including why I got fired.

How do you like the Xclutch? I have deceleration noise on my Exedy stage 1 from 2500-3000RPM that’s really annoying for street driving. Was looking at their lineup and may try one out. Doesn’t look like there’s many other people here that have tried that brand.

Nothing but good things to say about it. The one I have would be perfect for a street car as well it's not harsh at all and the pedal feel isn't super stiff.

Have you heard any feedback about the GKtech shifter for this platform?

KMA KiCKz · 05-31-2023, 08:43 PM

F in the chat to your FRS

My need for speed lived vicariously through your track and install videos.

Excited for what's to come!

Teseo · 05-31-2023, 09:40 PM

I enjoy the journey through your videos. Thanks for sharing

Gotta say Thanks, Kevin, sucks about the drama, but kudos for pushing through and sticking with what you love. Your videos are top quality and they've helped me through many installs.

GAAAAH me too with an Exedy Stage 1. I think the disc springs are just too stiff and it causes the notorious input gear rattle. Did you go with the OEM flywheel? I'm considering options, even the possibility of just an OEM disc with the Stage 1 pressure plate. Kevin's experience with X Clutch has me intrigued.

Yep OEM flywheel. Really sucks because it’s great otherwise. Even holding with the Harrop SC. I need to swap out the rear diff that’s leaking and tempted to go ahead and do the clutch since it’s the thing that makes me hate driving it on the street.
