12.26.07 New Additions!

My clutch has been slipping and i wasnt getting much throttle response. Back in August when i had my engine rebuilt, I was told that my clutch only had about 10% left. It is now december so i decided to get my clutch replaced. Since I'm replacing my clutch, I decided to replace the flywheel as well. Added a short throw shifter, swapped the shift boot from my S5 GTU-S and to top it off, an RX-8 shift knob. Changed out the thermostat on the car and a coolant water temperature sensor in an attempt to get better gas mileage. Finally, I sold my red GTU-S for $500 and salvaged the deck and the S5 kouki tail lights.
