Just installed JWT Clutch+Flywheel combo & HKS exhaust onto my 04 coupe!

Took my g to a local performance shop where kris79 works at to have my JWT clutch+flywheel and my hks exhaust to be installed. So heres my review:

JWT Clutch+flywheel:
I found the clutch to be pretty hard to drive. It felt like I have to learn how to drive stick all over again. When I was pulling out of the shop to go work, i died out about 5 times trying to reverse out and i couldnt even move! there was a **** load of ppl watching me and it was embarrassing. Anyhow, it felt like i was learning how to drive stick again because the engagement point went down REALLY REALLY LOW and it was still stiff. I Would have to barely let go of the clutch and i would be engaging. Other than that, I have better, smoother shifting and its great except for the chattering noise I hear from the flywheel but im used to it now.

HKS Exhaust:
I fell in love with my exhaust when i heard it. its just the way i want my exhaust to sound. up to 3.5k rpm its not loud, but rather deep and pretty quiet compared to other hks exhausts for other cars. High rpm sounds REALLY aggressive. im not sure on the gains tho.

i dont have pics yet but i will post em up after i get a car wash because my car is dirty as hell right now xD


Thanks to kris79 for hooking it up for the installations

nice! you from sj?
how much did it cost for the clutch + flywheel? that sounds like exactly what i want from my car. I drove my friends modded rx7 and it sounds like it is just like what you described and i loved how stiff it was and how quickly it engaged.

i hear it when I am in the low rpms between 0 and around 2300 lol. BTW did your engagement point go back up really high after breaking it in?? Either I drove the clutch really wrong or the clutch is like that. My catch point is all the way almost at the tip again like how it used to be wit my OEM clutch now. When I first installed the clutch, the catch point was so low that I could barely drive it. Now its pretty high up there. Is the clutch a self-adjusting clutch where it supposingly adjusts to your driving habits and changes the engagement point??
