Re: Muirsy build thread

btw, with that new bigger brake setup in front, how does it feel? powerful as hell? what kinda pads are you running on it?


and one more question, when you got your clutch/flywheel installed...how much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking? parts? labor?

Thanks man. I like the stage 1 cam its got a little more passing power on the highway. Its not holy hell my cars so much faster but just has a little more noticeable power.

big difference in braking and I still have some air in the lines, so I have to re-bleed them and I bet it will grab even harder. right now I'm just running oem pads, I'm going to look into upgrading the pad/rotors possibly next spring. clutch and flywheel cost me 500 in parts. I think it was 250 for the flywheel and 220 for the clutch. Labour was 300
