wOw a lot of nice goodies you have there.

Yes it is.

It's a dry clutch cover.

It will expose the clutch mechanism and make it loud, vent more efficiently, and stay cool.

Ahh looks and functionality at the same time. Good reason to get one.

old vs. new



new in



and the ARP extended wheel studs



man i love the car even more now... the car actually rides better with the Aragostas than the Tein CS's. On full soft, the shock works so well, it's actually softer than the Teins. Where it used to be a harsh and abrupt jolt when I ran over reflectors in the road, it's a nice and soft (less audible as well) feel (don't even feel the jolt). Right now, I'm only riding on 2 clicks from soft in the rear and 4 clicks from soft in the front, and I lowered the car to no finger gap (no bottoming out either).

Can't wait to take these out to a track and see what they can do.

Also, not worrying about driveways or speedbumps anymore FTW! At air full up, I have 6.5" between the bottom of my front bumper and the ground, at air full down and all coilover, i have ~3" from front bumper to ground.
