Nice times Matt.

I saw that 13.2 run @102.x but I didn't know that was you. I missed the 12.5 one though. Were you in the stock-bodied red FD?

Hey Vosko, did you get to race at all?

LOL. Classic. The guy who blew his rear end made a complete *** out of himself and the rotor community, basically suggesting the blown diff was more a failure of the car rather than his exquisite driving ability

I went with the racing beat 9.5# flywheel and ACT SS clutch. I think it is a very nice combo. I have about the same HP as you and it does not slip at all Good luck on your choice.

i'm using a stock flywheel it is better for drag racing and can take more heat than a 9.5LB . the stock FD flywheel is pretty light

Matty: I don't really notice the difference in pedal pressure from stock, it feels just slightly stiffer. The flywheel needs a little more gas and a little different engagement technique (they start to grab a little sooner) but you get used to it very quickly and then don't even notice it. It spins up faster in the lower gears. Tom

Hey matty, I met you in the morning and you were telling me your clutch was slipping on the way down there, remember?. Your car is BEAUTIFUL looks as if it was brand new. Nice 12.5 run on street tires!
