got a new clutch and flywheel ordered over the weekend through Josh at BDS racing, it is a McLeod Street Twin with a light weight flywheel. with that, I shouldn't need to ever get a new clutch as it is completely rebuildable by McLeod and it should be good for 800+ lb-ft so no need to upgrade later on. I also pulled the trigger on a Spintech 2OTL catback last week which supposedly came in today, so car will be boing up on jack stands this week to get both of those things installed plus some new u-joints as well. going to order a matching Corbeau Forza fixed back seat for the passenger side this week and will be doing the rear seat delete when that comes in. still need to get the hood fixed and then it will be ready for the summer!

so the street twin is going to take 4-6 weeks to ship because they have to build it, so waiting on that. in the meantime, I took today off to do some work on the car. I was able to pull the rear seats and passenger seat out to make way for the corbeau that I ordered a couple days ago. I also got my plate mounted on a SLP bracket and got the 98-02 fog lights installed. I had to make some custom brackets to make the fog lights work but it came out pretty sweet. also happy that they hooked right up to the factory lt1 fog light connectors. here are some pics, also snapped a few pics of the bumper cover before I started in the daylight, got rushed at the end as it started to down pour just as I was finishing up the drivers side fog light

thrashed on the car last week to get it ready for a big car show on sunday. got the spintech 2otl catback installed although still need to have the tips welded on, plasti dipped the hood to hide all the spots where the paint came off (temporary), got the Welds back on and put the Corbeau installed in the passenger seat. the show was Broke East Meet in Seekonk MA which was about a 2 hour drive one way and the car did great! unfortunately didn't get a chance to take any pics while at the show as there was too much going on, but did snap some of the progress last week.
old crusty magnaflow next to the new spintech, I cut the cutout out of the magnaflow and had it tig welded to the new spintech, going to do the same for the tips

Nice progress man! Front end looks great and we need an exhaust clip!

thanks! I will try to break the go pro out this weekend and get some clips. I love the new exhaust, it has a much different tone than the magnaflow and sounds way better at idle. it does drone a bit on the highway, but that may be because it is kinda dumped under the body, hoping putting the tips on will help that although I don't really care to be honest lol
also, the street twin and aluminum flywheel came in yesterday! not sure when I will be able to put it in but shooting for the next week or so

never got an exhaust clip, but will soon. thought I would throw this up here, the organizer of the Broke East Meet snapped a pic of me rolling into the show! too bad he didn't get my crew all in one shot (they were in front of me)

small update, finally got the tips welded on the 2otl last week. love how it looks! charged up the go pro last night so if it isn't raining when I get out of work I will pull it out of the garage and do a little walk around. they are staggered a bit to follow the contour of the bumper too
