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!

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

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.

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!
