    What did you do/get for your NB today? 2017 edition

    Hi Everyone! I was noticing the NB section has been a little stagnant. I figured maybe by starting this off we would get rolling. Also, I was pumped I just snagged a Hardtop!

    So, I got a hard top!



    Excited to see what you've been doing!

    Needed a clutch for some time, had my mind on an Exedy Stage 1 or a Competition Clutch Stage 3, paired with a lightened OEM flywheel. However, today this came up for sale and could not resist.

    ACT HD clutch disc & pressure plate



    ACT ProLite flywheel:



    Fun fact, the whole set came from Kostas car, the silver turboed NA from One Lap Heroes (Kostas is the guy with the beard).

    If you move a photo around in photobucket, like from one album to another, the link gets broken

    Took off the new top to really check it out. I now know why I got a deal...


    Good.


    Bad, Very Bad.

    Nothing I can really say as I got ahead of myself and jumped at it.

    Gorilla glue?

    If it stays together and looks good on the car that's what matters. Right?

    I kinda agree with Martin. Just put the seal back in and let it ride.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I guess for now that's probably what will happen. I don't know how to repair it correctly, so I would probably just end up redoing the same thing.
