I repainted my valve cover a glossier red.

Last but not least I officially ordered my clutch and flywheel. Went with Clutch Masters FX300 (Stage 3) clutch and Competition Clutch lightweight steel 12 pound flywheel. Now I'm just waiting for those things to come in and I should be just about ready to go.

let me know how you like that clutch..my cousin has a stage 4 unsprung, with stock fw, and it feels sooo nice compared to the stage 4 sprung comp. clutch i have.

Will do for sure. I'm really excited to feel this setup.

I went with stage 3 because I don't want a "puck" clutch for my daily.

Was really hoping to be driving this by now. Unfortunately I haven't touched it in weeks as I am still waiting for my axles, ecu, and intake from the person I bought it from... Supposedly they are coming, but such has been the story for a year now, so we will see. No use doing anything until I have everything ready.

It's really bumming me out and I'm really starting to lose interest in this project.

I want a 3s celi bad, but this wait it BS. My motor can't be stored where it is forever as I don't own the warehouse, so if the stuff doesn't come soon I don't know what I am going to do

>Just working on ordering the remaining stuff I need. I'm buying an Exedy stage 2 clutch and possibly a flywheel. I have a question for some of you, and I know this is kind of vague..but do you think daily driving is still going to be manageable with a Fidanza flywheel or should I probably just resurface my stock flywheel? I've driven light flywheels, but never on a FWD car or car with this much power, so I am kind of stuck and don't know what to do.

Another question, where are you swappers getting your hoses? Anywhere in particular? Something I gotta start keeping an eye out for.

Thanks in advanced guys!

im running the clutch master light weight flywheel with a stage 1 clutch on my set up.................. i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it.............. lol.. u wanna talk about slipping i cant even down shift the dang thing all u smell is clutch. i back out the drive way all u smell is clutch.. i have many cars with way more hp than my caldina set up.. but ive never seen a car this bad im gonna change my set up soon

Got my ECU today.

Hopefully soon I will receive axles and intake. Then finally able to get this beast in the bay where it belongs.

Stiiiiiiiiiiiill waiting for my axles and intake... Motors just chillin in my storage unit, looking pretty. Switched a couple things up. Bought a FMIC with welded piping fit up for a 3s, so I'm pretty excited about that. Also repainiting a couple pieces.

I really hope to have some more updates soon. Jim says axles should be in too him within a week, then on too me...but we'll see. Getting pretty bored of the 5s, haha, I never pay attention to this car anymore.

Anyways, if anyone needs a E154f, W2A intercooler, Apexi AFC NEO, or turbo xs rfl bov, let me know.
