Pure Automotive Performance Consolidated Review/Install Thread-JULY 4TH Sale Inside!
Hey guys, Instead of clogging up the Mid Atlantic with multiple threads, I'm going to consolidate all of my installation and review threads into one, both for easy reference and simplicity.
We Sell and Install Everything! I Beat All Online Prices for my locals!! Full Blown Stage 1 Kit Video --> Vortech Supercharger Kit Still Awaiting My First Install - I'm ready to give someone a crazy deal! Authorized Ecutek Dealer and Installer - Licenses, Cables, and Visconti Tunes Stock Tune + Exhaust Video http://s1273.beta.photobucket.com/us...f3674.mp4.html The Whiteline Positive Shift Bushing Compared to Stock: Installed: Whiteline Rear Subframe Bushings Installed: The positive shift bushing is a fairly quick install. The rear bushings should be a quick install but I found it very tricky to get the subframe bolts to go back in, its not very hard, just tedious, you definitely don't want to rush it. I can definitely feel a distinct difference, mainly because its wet today. Both cars broke traction on acceleration quicker than before, which means once its dry out, its going to be a quicker "lunge" when you hit the pedal with reduced up and down movement on acceleration and no side to side movement when cornering. There is less slop in the transmission when shifting as well. ACT (Advanced Clutch Technologies) 6 Puck HD The install wasn't a terrible experience, the pressure plate is tricky to get seated because there are multiple dowel pin holes but it only properly seats one way. The pressure plate to clutch disc clearance was tight, I had to very gradually work it into place to get it lined up properly. The parts are all high quality, the release bearing and pilot bearing are nearly identical to stock. The flywheel is pretty gnarly looking as it is only 10.5 lbs. It uses the stock flywheel bolts, but comes with new pressure plate mounting bolts. Driveability: The pedal had to be adjusted up quite a bit from the DIY better engagement setting in order to feel proper. The engagement is very quick, you don't really have the large amount of play that the stock clutch has. It's not the most aggressive clutch I've ever driven, but it took a little playing around to get the hang of. The pedal feel is, in my opinion, mildly firm. It definitely takes more effort than stock, but I don't think it would cause any leg cramps if you were stuck in traffic. Upon the first test drive, I found that it takes a little more gas when shifting from a stop in order to prevent jerky starts. That got easier as I drove it around and got the feel for it. You can really feel the quick engagement when you are doing a little spirited driving and shifting quickly. It makes the gear changes much faster that stock. There is a soft rattle or vibration noise that reverberates as you decelerate in gear. It is not offensive at all, I was listening for it because its common in lightened flywheels. Had I not been listening for it, I probably wouldn't have noticed for a while. If you've ever had a lightweight flywheel, you know what I mean when I say, you can feel the lack of inertia in low RPMS. For those that don't know what I mean, the lightened flywheel doesn't maintain rotational inertia as well as the heavier stock one, so when you're coming to a stop, the RPMS fall off quickly, causing a slight dip. This effect is completely normal when you go with a lightened flywheel. The upside is that, as quickly as the RPMS fall off, it revs up that much faster. 10 Miles later, no check engine light, no issues reported. Its not my vehicle so I won't be putting any more miles on it than that. Here are some comparison pics: Thanks For All Your Support Guys! Last edited by Pure Automotive; 02-06-2013 at 02:24 PM. |

With a tune anything passes emissions. There's only 2 things that must happen to pass emissions in MD, NO CEL, Gas Cap Works- That's it.

I'm currently saving money for the Vortech or AVO...I'm about to buy a house though so it may be a while. Though, I could just live out of my car for a little bit...
Hopefully my car will be in your shop sooner than later |

Good stuff. I ended up going the Unichip route but will be in touch once my Eibach R2s become available and in. I'm also looking forward to the Innovative kit, something I'd like to take care of this fall.

Just to add to this thread as I have purchased a good amount of parts through Brady. He is a true professional installer of anything for this car. Working with him, I notice that he is very particular and thorough to the point of OCD. I feel like I've also made a good friend out of him- not a bullshitter, just a "Pure" genuine guy that I trust.
Also, if anyone wants to experience his work firsthand, just ask me to take a ride in my car which will be displaying a Pure Automotive banner proudly on its rear windshield.
