XTD's clutches work just fine. Most people tend to ignore doing anything to them like aligning them the right way, and resurfacing the flywheel as well. Put one in my last ED6 and it pulls great

ya the clutch was pretty cheap in my opinion so i went ahead and got it from a buddy of mine..i hope it lasts long kinda cant afford another one..lol..and the headlights have like two bolts in them but i cant get them as straight as i want them yet i think the housing still needs to be pulled a lil. and i also have tokico blues in the back and ill be puttin the tokico blues front springs on the kybs im hopin it rides smooth if it doesnt then o well lol... thanks for all the comments it helps with the self asteem..lol the girlfriend hates on the two color car.. my grandparents also own an upholstry shop and they are gonna be doin the interior.. the seats i think and dont quote me are si seats im probly lying off my *** but ohwell ..anywho im doing what they call an encore black fabric with red ostrich skin inserts it should look sick ill post pics when i get one done

Looks good man. Dont sweat the girlfriend. They always prefer pretty things over the all go no show ideas...
Its your car, do what you want to do with it!
Painting the car rattle can is def going to give the car a "project car" theme. If the paints in pretty good shape, id match it and keep it red...
Maybe a local high school autobody shop could hook you up?
