Sweet, everyone's starting to bring out their cars.

I'm loving my Clutchmasters setup, although it's a tad bit on the heavy side

nicely done Joe. Are those wheels 18s or 17s?

I can't wait to hit the track this year! You will be at PCA this weekend?

They are 18x9's. What size and offset are your ccw's?

unfortunately no, I was worried about breaking in the new clutch and did not register. I am thinking about doing summit point on april 6-7 though.

what are you doing with a stage 4!?

The car feels absolutely amazing. I felt that the clutch was fully broken in after 600+ miles of combined city/highway driving. I started really ripping on it today and it's great! For the first time I am losing traction in 1st gear w/ 255 star specs in warm weather (65 degrees). I know for a lot of you guys with S54's that is usual business but it is a big improvement for only 240 hp and this little S50.

Coolant temps are also surprising lower. Under normal driving I used to run at around 190, now with the euro coolant set up and fresh water running through the system it just runs at a rock solid 181-183.


still some minor issues to work out. It needs another new clutch master cylinder (my fault) and I really need to find out why the akg shifter is rattling really loudly (super annoying). Going to call AKG on monday.
