Your ears must be burning. ZS and me was just talking about this car last night.

Ya a lot of effort was wasted looking at the hydraulics since that is usually the culprit when there are clutch problems on this platform. But Justin replaced the whole system and there was zero improvement. So attention has shifted to the clutch. Since the clutch seemed fine between the last abuse it saw at the track up until he pulled the engine, nobody really even looked at it. Perhaps it was damaged during transmission removal or installation. Or maybe the warpage became more of a problem if the clocking of the disks during reassembly didn’t match their original clocking when they warped? Who knows.

There seems to be no photos really of the build here. This is a semi-recent photo. The hood does shut, and has no holes in the hood skin. The underside has a bunch of stuff cut out though to clear the throttles and tubes. Strut bar does fit fine, just have to space it up a little bit with some washers.

On the top piece that you cut out for tube clearance, where the hood latch is. You going to make a new piece to tie everything back in?

I havent seen the car in a couple weeks, I am not sure where he is at with the front end. I know when this pic was taken there was still more pieces to go back in, but I dont recall anything that wasnt stock going in there.
