Re: beaterX project thread

Damn Scheides, it seems like whenever I check this thread you are experiencing some bad luck!

At least you keep your head up and pull through it like a champ! Keep up the good work bud!

Edit - This thread is what every 16 year old should be required to read before purchasing a modified turbo car...

so true. Seems Like the people that preach about how little their car breaks just don't post about it when it does break. LOL @ owdee comment.

I have to say it does a have a lighter pedal than the Exedy stage 1HD I have in my car. I think part of it might be that, imo, the X clutch pedal has a more downward push than the VIII and IX.

I meant as a comparison between the VIII/IX and X pedal pressure with the same clutch, if you were at all interested.
