I hope I get to see you autocrossing this weekend.
Nope :( The new clutch won't be broken-in in time. These Kevlar discs seem to be ultra sensitive to break-in so I'm not willing to risk it. Now if someone wants to let me borrow their Evo... I will be in attendance for at least spectating though and plan to come up with a few others who will most likely run.

I got my car back tonight with the new clutch and its feeling good so far. After about 10k on my previous clutch the TOB took a crap and destroyed the pressure plate in the process. MAP worked with Competition and got a replacement Stage 3 sent at no charge, and Comp even reimbursed MAP for the labor. Thanks to MAP for getting this taken care of and thank you to Competition for really standing behind their product and doing what it takes to make the customer happy. Competition has had numerous Evo TOB failures so they are now recomending the use of an OEM Mitsu TOB instead so hopefully this fixes the issue. So far after driving it for an evening it seems the OEM TOB is much quieter than the Comp TOB which is a good thing since the clutch no longer rattles on decel.

While I was away on my honeymoon I had Primo powdercoat my radiator brackets in gloss black and my hood damper brackets in gloss white so that adds a few small finishing details to my underhood appearance which makes me happy!

Hughes, I just read all of the 11 pages for the first time actually. Wow the improvement! Everything looked like it turned out great.

So did I. I have a Cusco strut-tower brace on back-order right now and was wondering if some of the other braces would be worthwhile. Sounds like a good project to add to my list for the Spring.
I'm assuming that they just bolt on using stock bolt locations, yes?

Yup, the chassis braces just attach to factory bolt holes.
