People always get a clutch way too strong for their car. I pulled a 1.58 60 foot on the stock clutch, a King Cobra or whatever they call it from Valeo (think that's how its spelled) will do you fine.

bigboy05 · February 1st, 2012, 07:45 PM

i was going to get a cobra clutch, but im gonna run the car hard this year and i dnt feel like snapping an input shaft and needing another clutch so it makes more sense to just go with 26 spline and a more intense clutch for down teh road

bigboy05 · February 2nd, 2012, 02:28 PM

ok headers have just arrived, hopeflly this weekend ill start tearing down the front!...only problem is the headers came with a gasket but it says its for 4V..on the site it says the kit is for 99-04,2v or 4v so are the gaskets the same between 4v and 2v?

bigboy05 · February 2nd, 2012, 03:07 PM

well this sucks, jegs labeled their website wrong so i got 4v headers...so now they have to pick up my old ones and drop ship a new pair from kooks....this just sucks i was gonna be able to get started this weekend....and my kooks turnouts from summit were also wrong, turns out summit AND jegs both labeled their websites wrong, this is ridiculous hopefly my headers and turnouts will be here sometime next week....THIS is waht i get for going with the "best" stuff

wishIhada5.0 · February 2nd, 2012, 04:14 PM

wow, that sucks! Dont be worried though...jegs and summit will both make it right for you.

CobraStang161 · February 2nd, 2012, 05:11 PM

I hope they have some in stock. Kooks is out of business so getting headers from them are going to be impossible.

bigboy05 · February 2nd, 2012, 05:44 PM

i think kooks is still in business man...because jegs and summit both had to call kooks for a straight answer, and they siad kooks is going to drop ship them to me....yeah ik thyell make it right but i just dont understand how they have just had the site wrong for such a long time

bigboy05 · February 5th, 2012, 08:04 PM

almost done with the battery relocate and switch...just need to do a jump wire on the switch and to just secure all the lines down and in place, and bolt down the battery...just needa bout one more day
heres the switch..

and just running wiring along drivers side..

bigboy05 · February 8th, 2012, 06:45 PM

ok guys well i finished wiring up the battery relocate and switch and it all works...except that when i cut the switch while the car is on the car does not die...but once i turn it off i cant turn the car on when the switch is off...anyone know how i can fix this? cause i kinow that the swtich has to kill the car at the track

CobraStang161 · February 8th, 2012, 09:05 PM

Did you run it to the alternator?

bigboy05 · February 8th, 2012, 10:03 PM

not straiaght to it, to the fusebox

bigboy05 · February 11th, 2012, 05:46 PM

well got the k-member in today, didnt get to finish the coiovers and everthing becasue im getting my new wheel studs pressed tommarwo so hopefully when i get those back ill be able to finish it all tommarow...then the car will almost be ready just waiting on my tuner to talk to his transmission guy to see about getting me a 26 spline setup hopefully that happens next week then ill be dropping the car off for teh tune and to get my roll bar welded and ill be on the road soon after that!
