Toyo R888s vs clutch... Toyos won

A big THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Japtrix and Forged Performance!!!!!

I got my Toyo R888s on yesterday (305/30/19) and decided to try them out. Well, last night I broke my clutch, and I am scheduled to head up to Sebring on Saturday for the NASA event.

I pulled my car into Japtrix this morning, and Roger jumped on it right away. Japtrix didn't have a new clutch in stock, but they called Forged Performance, and between Ryan and Sharif, they managed to get a new Carbonetics Tripple Disk clutch shipped out today!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot thank Japtrix and Forged Performance enough for such outstanding customer service. Again, a BIG, BIG, BIG, THANK YOU to everyone at Japtrix and Forged Performance. It looks like I'll make it to Sebring after all.

Thank you for the Invite. The timing is bad for me, though. I'll try to make it to the next one. I'm excited about the car (like a kid at Christmas)! More stuff going on it this week to get ready for Sebring.

SPC camber adjustment kits f/r

turbo blankets

downpipe heat wrap

a second oil cooler

a new oil pan and/or spacer for added oil capacity

Motordyne plenum spacer (since the Cosworth Plenum still has not shown up)

SP Racing triple pump hanger (I only need two fuel pumps, so one of the fuel pumps will be a spare with a manual switch just in case the primary one ever fails)

I'm finally going to get the Wilwood brakes on. I had to wait until the Volks were on b/c they wouldn't fit with the stock 18" rims

And, maybe if time permits (which I doubt b/c the clutch issue)

KP Technologies Speed Shift/Two Step Module (LOL, maybe I could of used that last night)

KP Technologies Switch Memory Module

Various HKS gauges

I thought "...." meant he wanted more info on the build updates. I guess I'm not up to speed on Internet lingo (OK, I'm an old fart).

Anyway, the Carbonetics triple disk should do the trick. Fun it will be.
