Probably a stupid request but could you elaborate a little on how you used the paint pen to find all your rattles? I'm assuming you put a dab of paint on the back of a panel, installed it, then pulled it back out to see if it made contact? Just seems tedious so I wasn't sure if I was being stupid in how I was thinking you'd do it haha

Yeah you got it. I just did that in some of the places where the panel hadnt been making obvious contact. Alot of the spots you could see a little rub mark on the paint on the chassis, so first I put felt there. Then re-installed the panel and if when I tapped on it it still rattled I used the paint pen technique to find the spots i was missing

Collecting more parts for the gearbox setup.... Exedy 8lb flywheel and stage 1 clutch

Got the flywheel last year for pennies on the dollar and just got hooked up by one of the homies with the clutch. Whole setup for under $200







.

.

Also got a parts order in from Acura - Type S tie rod ends and new gaskets and o-rings for the rack and pump.

Nice, Exedy 1 feels so epic

How much power can they hold safely?

What Mike said lol. I think theyre good up to 300whp. Plus The way I drive I could probably exceed a clutch's rated limit since I dont launch or bang 2nd gear.

That much? I figured they were good for about 200whp. Thats awesome because I didn't want to get a Stage 2 since the Stage 1 I drove with paired with an ACT flywheel just felt dead on perfect IMO.

Its nice being able to install a clutch and know that it will not put strain on your leg and that it won't slip no matter the scenario.

The benefits of a well balanced N/A powerband

Remember, they rate clutches by torque capacity, not HP

Gotcha'. Makes more sense, since you put in some good research/development on the design.
