    Damn it to hell, I may not be going Friday after all. I think my clutch is about to die on me. Decided to test out the line lock and while that worked, you could smell what I believe is clutch despite only doing a short burnout at 3k with my foot nowhere close to the clutch pedal...Parked it. Climbed back in later and noticed that the pedal is a bit stiffer than usual and you can still get a whiff of what smells like clutch. Maybe it's just the cable binding, but only taking a look at it will tell. At this rate my luck is not so great.

    When disc burns the clutch will engage closer to the top of the pedal.

    That's my problem to the "T." Definitely a burnt clutch because every time I drive it now you get a burning smell if I'm on it. Release keeps getting closer to the top of the pedal. I am burntclutch for now I guess. But hey, 33k on a stock clutch and a fair number of trips to the track are about all you can expect out of a stock clutch. Now I've got to figure out what clutch I want to get.

    Spec is what I'm considering going with. I'm afraid that the spec stage 3 may be a bit too strong...I don't want to break any input shafts.

    if i could do it over again id go with the stage 3+, since the 3 is a puck style design its prone to chatter more than the 3+

    I have the spec 3 + and it was brutal for the first 500 miles. However, I am having problems now after 4k miles. Hopefully its not toast
