I just read the entire thread wow such a nice build! So much attention to detail, I wouldnt be afraid to buy it at all (im too poor). But now, seing your last post and the attention you've given it so far, I would much much rather see you keep it and boost the damn thing do it!! The awesome factor would be through the roof

New LS7 clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel going in this weekend.

Man, dat awesome, all my emotions in this picture

So the LS7 clutch and flywheel combo is in and working out well. The old Diamond Stage 2 Clutch and 18lb flywheel worked great for me but always took a bit of effort to drive very smoothly. While I was under there I also added a copper washer under the detent ball plug (AKA Anti-Venom mod) to reduce shifting effort a touch. The combination of the above has worked well to make driveability much smoother. My only gripe is that the LS7 clutch engages right off the floor but I am told that it will self adjust as I put on the miles - only have about 45 miles on it so far.

Side note - I really have to stop taking pictures with a potato

The new lift made it SO much easier to get that big trans out. I am able to comfortable roll around underneath on a stool.

Don't act like you're still in love with this thing.

I saw it on craigslist.





You filthy animal, you.

[nsogiba]

I have 459 miles to go before I can do burnouts on this clutch :/

Took a deposit on the car last night, sale pending. If it falls through (doubtful) I will let everyone know.
