Joe at Zspeed told me that the clutch install is straight forward, I don't know why shops have problems bleeding them. I would have installed it myself if I had a lift... Anyhow, this takes me back to the reason why I need/have to do all of my own work.

I would bet it has something to do with taking time to bleed it properly, but the shops just want to sling the cars in and out.

Hi Galeforce, have you installed your boost and AFR gauges yet? If so, any pics of the install? I was thinking of using an a-pillar pod for AFR and EGT and the stock clock location for boost.

Thanks for the photos! (that was quick)
You weren't kidding when mentioning doing a lot of the work and fab'ing yourself. I was hoping we can just use an Autometer dual pod that would fit nicely, but that might be too easy ![]() Can't wait to see it finished. Last edited by hughdogz; 11-25-2012 at 10:14 PM. |

Yes, a pre-made pod(s) will be much easier. I tried a mockup similar to using a gauge pod and wasn't happy with the results. Going a full custom build I am able to maximize my vision of the gauge and minimize the obstruction of view out.

The bad news is, I blew out my back. The good news is, I got out to the garage. Repaired the carbon fibre on the rear bumper, worked on the A-pillar some more, touched up a spot I wasn't happy with on the front bumper, and started a new carbon fibre project... pics to follow.

Don't injure yourself before you get the kit installed! I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the clutch too after some miles are put on it. Let's see those pics!
