LOL....It looks pretty simple. I'm more getting it for the wife. I can care less if I engage a little rough. But she's having a hard time feeling the engagement points when she drives it and doesn't like it when she's a passenger and I pop the clutch all the time! :icon17:

Install is super simple. Had mine swapped in 5mins!

Meulen 09-07-2013 12:22 PM

Since Jim called me out about not installing this yet. I did it when I got home from the show today. Lol

Clutch Helper Spring
Literally takes 5 minutes to install. Easy! I was expecting a little better feel from it but it does help some. Worth the money I guess but the clutch still has less feel than if like.

Old spring

Nice start, coming along real nice!

I was going to get the clutch helper spring also but just never had, kinda got used to the clutch but I hear its like night and day

I wouldn't say night and day, but it was a noticeable difference for me. I also lowered my clutch pedal slightly and between the two, I'm pretty happy with the OEM clutch set up.

I guess not exactly a build thing, but I did some work on the drivers this weekend. Went over to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The wife and I did some laps with an instructor in an Audi R8. I guess I should have chose the GTR but always wanted to drive an R8

LED lights for the interior and license plate lighting came just before I left for Vegas. I came back sick as a dog so Ill have to put off the install for a bit

Z-Girl 12 09-15-2013 07:14 PM
