Tim you probably have the best insight on this one, but the 350 I feel like is super hard to get used to as far as smooth shifting. I've owned 5 manual cars now and been able to drive all the others smoothly like an automatic if I wanted to. 1-2-3 on the Z I feel like is so difficult to be smooth, as if the slave cylinder has no "action" if you will. 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?
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.

Really cool idea Tony, Bryant you gotta trust the master (bater) on this one dude! Pics look great...i really wanna see one with those crazy 5k amber city bulbs you got in there! Well despite all the hassel we went through for some sweet headlights it really turned out great.
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.
