New clutch is in

The good:
-I can drop in really hard in first and the clutch doesn't even bat an eye. It just bucks and launches. Pretty awesome.
-Friction point is very close to the floor now which makes quick shifting much easier
-Clutch grabs instantly. No hesitation and that "floaty" feeling in high 2nd is gone.

The bad:
-Holy crap this thing is a leg workout. My left leg is going to be enormous.
-I get the feeling I could probably snap my driveshaft in two if I **** around too much

Uh It's an AVIC-Z140BH if I remember right. I have no idea how I pulled that from memory. It has a SD card slot and you can customize the launch screen (among other things). It's almost 3 years old now so I'm sure they have something snazzier out there.

Sorry for the late response.

Just to close the loop:

* The legend of the Z lives on in Ohio. The new owner made the front page of his local paper literally the first week he had it. Better press than I ever got:




* I wasn't full of ****. I finally went out and bought my dream car:
