Are Z/G's just like that? It's got 90k on the original clutch, and the PO adjusted the pedal he claims. I'm thinking of doing the clutch + flywheel before I come out to VA this summer as preventative maintenance so I don't get screwed having to pay someone to do it out there if it goes. What do you think, OEM spec Exedy + lightweight flywheel, or Stg 2 + lightweight flywheel?
It's smooth above 4k RPM from my experience and others general consensus. In "normal" driving in and around town, it's clunky. In spirited driving, mine feels butter smooth.

With 90k miles and the original clutch, if I were you, I'd push it a bit to see if it slips. I can imagine that at 90k, you're gonna need a clutch soon.

I wish I could see the amber lights too since ozzie forgot to put them in. So I gotta get with him so he can mail them back.

I don't like the look of plastidip. It looks cheap. I may get some Black Obsidian from the dealer so I can have a good color match. I have way too many projects right now so I may not get to it for a while.

I feel you. Just never cared for the plasti dip. Kinda want that one hitter quitter solution for the grill. I may go with an all gloss black and leave the logo alone. Lots of ideas, just gotta have the time to actually try them.

Yeah I can't believe he forgot to put them in either, but then again...I'm not completely surprised.
