    Don't know if you have done this or not, but I strongly recommend the long braided clutch line 949 Racing sells. You can remove that hardline between the firewall to the clutch slave. Makes swapping out slaves SO much easier. I would even go so far as to recommend the slave AND the clutch master if you haven't done either in a while.

    Are both ends if the flex lines the same? I might have our local Goodyear rubber make me up one.
    Yea, I was planing on swapping out the clutch Slave and master didn't think about the flex line.
    Thanks!

    Not sure. IIRC, the connection at the firewall is female, the other end at the slave is male.

    I got it on and its running very nicely. My pilot bearing was tight but the hole did not need reaming. I expected a little bit more out of it but there is definitely a difference in acceleration. There is no additional transmission noise and down shifts were not a real issue, but if I let the rev's die even the slightest on start-up it will stall. The wildest thing is when I turn off the engine it dies almost instantly... No more wind down.

    All in all well worth it.

    Reset the ECU, it should help with the stall. I think the F1 version is the best compromise. The 7 or 8# Fidanza is loud and takes a little getting used to for daily driving.

    Still my favorite driver's enthusiast mod for this car.

    I have the ACT 10# and love it. Like KFJ said, it takes a little getting used to. I'd love to have the benefits of a light flywheel without all of the noise.
