Ordered a set of RS*R Sports-i coilovers today. I'll be installing them on the 24th.

[jchudson13]

My coilovers just arrived and I was not expecting them arrive today haha. I feel like that was extremely fast shipping.

Any recommendations for a good balanced coilover system within that price range and preferably with camber adjustable top hats?

I really wish I could afford a set of Ohlins, I've heard good things about them. They are a bit out of my price range though.

I'm not exactly sure how to start a thread on here lol I've been on the computer a few times trying to figure it out. Maybe I'm just an idiot lol idk

Kit should be here tomorrow. Was supposed to be here today but UPS...lol. As long as it's here by/on Saturday. Install supposed to start Monday. Can't wait. @nelsmar

Oh and already in hand:
- Exedy stage 1
- JDL UEL header
- AEM Failsafe AFR/Boost gauge



On order:
- Innovate MTX Oil Temp/Pressure gauge

Is this normal? I've had an issue with my Exedy Stage 2 (new redesigned) clutch already and it felt as if it was slipping. Started my pull in 3rd gear around 3 1/2 4k rpm and it started slipping around 5 to 5 1/2k rpm and slipped through 4th and 5th gear as well. My clutch was brand new when installed during my turbo build in the middle of April and I did normal driving for about 600 miles or so after the install so I think I broke it in properly. Was told it could be a few different things like throw out bearing, loose spring, clutch needs bled. I checked my clutch fluid and it has black residue in it as you can see in the picture. Any ideas if this could be the cause of my clutch slipping?

As far as clutch fluid goes it does not look normal. Try a flush ?

So I got this big box in the mail! But it's just the exhaust. Crap. I thought the whole kit was coming today. I had an appointment to start the install on Monday and the logistics are a little tricky so I arranged to drop my car off today, and picked up a rental car. Oops. Sigh. Not sure when the rest of the items will ship. Oh well. Back to waiting.

[Deadpool_25]

Talked to the guys at PTuning. Rest of the kit will ship on Tuesday. I'm guessing the kit should be up and running the last week of May or first week of June.

I sent them an email with the picture attached either Friday or Saturday. I figured I'd give them a little time to respond as its not urgent. It hasn't slipped since then so I think I'm just going to flush it out and see if the residue comes back.
