Just talked to Clutch Specialties. They're redoing on old OEM e34 M5 clutch as a 6-puck ceramic for me. Should be done tomorrow!

I LOVE that feeling, and I'm the same way right now, except I have to wait till next week when I'm done with exams and am home.. oh well at least I'll be making it out to FD!

Is it going to need any time to "break in" or anything before next Friday?

Yes. I'll drive it around my neighborhood... maybe take it to work one day. Go to the grocery store at 3am.

I really have been slacking on the car bad. For a while. I take it to Turner... thrash it... take it home and park it. Plus I would rather have a pile of parts that we don't get to, than finish up and be like damn... we could totally have done all that other stuff.
Parts started arriving today... I can't wait to get home!

let me know how you like that shifter. i might want something similar for the rx7 and my friend owns a lathe and works with delrin.
nitro is so cool. i feel like you need this graphic for your car now.
