    After a month or two my clutch job is complete. Went for our first drive today with the new clutch and a new challenge exhaust that I picked up along the way. WOW!!! I had forgotten how much fun she was!!! And with the new exhaust she sounds SOOOOOO much better!!! Also added was the CF splitter from Valence in the front. :)


    BTW...after replacing every bearing in the flywheel/clutch/TO Bearing assy...the "Turkey" sound went away.... :)

    Looks fantastic. I'm "Mr. Anti-Aftermarket" but the splitter looks very tasteful.

    Where did you get that front tow hook? Looks great, my car is so low worried that I'll just brake that think, and I like it unpainted like that! I wanted to do that and CF mirrors! How durable you think that lip is?

    I got the tow hook off ebay. Very nice piece for $110... :)

    I would imagine the lip is a little more durable than the front lip was without it. It is CF reinforced with kevlar, but it is not metal so it will take a beating if it is not looked after properly. And another attribute to CF, it is brittle and does not like to be smacked around. So if you hit something hard....it will likely be toast. BTW...The photos do not do it justice... It is beautiful..

    Daniel at Ricambi has those tow hooks. They are made by Hill Engineering in England.

    same ones, yellow like that on ricambi? The lip isn't much lower in the front, just sticks forward more, right?

    Quite possible. :)

    Correct. It is not lower at all.


    Thank you. My wife doesn't like the tow hook at all..... I told her that I respected her opinion and left it at that... :)

    J- The splitter looks fantastic!!! That stuff from Valence is just dead sexy. Glad to hear the car is back on the road, and you'll have plenty of clutch for a long time to come. Now, stop posting pictures and go driving.
