Remember to lubricate the idle control valve after cleaning it. If its clean and dry then it can stick and not adjust properly. I had the idle dropping and not recovering, and the engine stalling.

I've done abit of research in regards to the Aus spec Stage 1 Sports Organic Clutch (HCK-7369SO) and the USA Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit (08806).

Essential they have the same dimensions and spec
USA Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit (08806) Specs
Disc Outer Diameter 215mm
Spline Teeth / Major Diameter 24T / 26 mm

Aus Stage 1 Sports Organic Clutch kit (HCK-7369SO)
Size, Spline OD & No. of Teeth 215 x 26 x 24

However, I have emailed the respective companies to confirm whether they are indeed the same product. This is important as the exedy selling in aus is at least $200 more than the USA.

[stevan]

It's twice the price for the exedy organic here in the aus due to distributors needing to recover the imports duties plus the markup. Pm me norm with prices you are getting and I'll fill you in what I have sorted out

[Norm]

Sure. Pretty much their around the $300 USA mark in USA/EBAY. Once I get the confirmation that their the same product i'll give you a msg and see whats price you got them for eh?

Sounds good mate, im about to finalise the pay for mine as my clutch is about to disintegrate any time now haha BTW what flywheel are you going to use??

Im thinking of using a JDM flywheel, i think its 4.8kg not sure what standard one is...

[Norm]

I've already purchased a Toda Chromemolly flywheel, so i'll use that in conjuction with the exedy clutch when i've confirmed which one.

Just got the email back from Exedy USA in regards to the clutch. They are indeed the same

Thanks for the info above. I'm in the same boat looking for a new clutch and was thinking along exactly the same lines.

Heres another seller with the same clutch thats cheaper than the one you listed up: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-EXEDY-STA...ht_1846wt_1140

more like $250

^^ i bought from this guy last week, clutch arrives next week sometime. He charges lower shipping because he folds the boxes slightly to get them into a smaller shipping satchel, for $100 off that doesn't worry me at all

I'm this close -----> "Confirm" to buying Advan RS Wheels....but I thought I ask people what they think of the following specs, and also whether nengun.com is reliable.

17" - 9.5 - Dark Gun Metallic - 5H x 114.3 - +35 (Front)

17" - 8 - Dark Gun Metallic - 5H x 114.3 - +37 (Rear)

Keep in mind i've got brembos so +35 will be +20, and yes I will be rolling my guards and running camber.

Also, just recieved some ingalls front bolts. A pair on each side right?. Awaiting my hardracing camber arms and Todds modified tie rodds and we'll chuck them on.

Norm

[plAythiNG]

No, a pair is for the front .... Im not too sure about dark gun metallic on a black car tbh .. it may blend in too much ...

[jj17]

ive seen those wheels in those colour on a black evo etc.. looks pretty sick

[gunpoons]

+1 for gun metal on black,

[Norm]

What do you mean by a pair is for the front only? Two boxes from ingalls came and in each box there was two bolts/nuts. So 4 in total. So your telling me I only needed like 1 box? and now I have an extra pair?
