My Exo-Skel clutch has given up the ghost today as it started slipping under load in any gear, got 9k out of it and not sure what new one will be going in as this is no longer the clutch of the month, seems Spec, Mclouds, RPS Twins and ACP, leaning toward a Spec they rebuild them when they go south

Darn hate to hear that, I thought those exo-clutches were able to handle the power and torque you're putting out. Let us know how it goes with which ever one you go with next time. Spec being able to re-man them is nice.

Boost is like drugs, I too know all about it, soon David you will see how the "Boost Drug" works on you... just a few more pounds is all you'll need, for now.

I dont know how boost feels...but I'll tell you that Torque Is the same way. I love to drive my car hard all the time, my tires dont like me I have a SPEC III+ in my car and love it. Took me 3 hours start to finish to install.

It would be cool if you did. I want to do it all! But keep focused on a main body of cars...I just want to do something I love and enjoy. I think we would all enjoy it

I think i will get you to do mine when it goes. you know shops charge $500 to take out rear cradle and another $700 to get to the clutch area. Thats not 3 hours worth of charges. unless you know a secret they dont know....I have never done it myself but the C6 is supposed to be easier than the C5.
