Talking almost there....wooohooo!!!

I installed a new exedy clutch, balanced and machined the flywheel last week and now i have driven 473 miles....and exedy recommends 500 miles to break it in.
WHOOOHOOOO almost there. No more driving like a old lady. Can't wait to beat on it. The old stock b16 clutch was pretty much right down to the rivots, this should grab like a ****.
Looks like i will be going to cayuga this weekend after all
WHOOOHOOOO!!! Anyone else wanna go too?

Best of luck.....I did 500miles and now I am 1 year later...and no problems...handles the power .
It wasnt like I hammered it at 501 though....but i kept taking it higher over the next 100-150 miles...

Yes, a while ago, since then i've picked up some crane stage 2 cams, dual valve springs, titanium retainers, ferrea 7 degree valve locks, adj cam gears, clutch and a b18a. I've already started my winter project for this year.
Rebuilding the b18a bottom end (crank & rod bearings, thrust washers, balance crank, hone cylinders, new rings on my p30 pistons, shot peen ls rods, arp head & rod bolts) and using my built b16 head to have a mildly build/rebuilt ls/vtec.
