Unfortunately no, I don't have a go-pro, and it would be rather tough to film the passes with my phone lol I'm hoping to get a go-pro before next spring.

No, but it does shudder a tad. Certainly more than the exedy stage 1 which doesn't shudder at all.

This couldn't be more true. I was seriously AMAZED at how fast the car got off the line. Felt incredible. I want to do it again LOL. Just always need to have a friend drive the crv down with the jack and slicks, etc.. which as I'm sure you know, friends that aren't racing aren't always that willing to go spend their night at the drag strip watching.

Very nice! Feels good to be making that power huh lol.

Hell ya! Feels even better launching with slicks though.

Andrew , I wasn't sure if you would be awake right now or I would have text you, anyway I may have a buyer for one of your wastegates so text me when you have a minute with prices on both.

It's doing just fine, I had to replace a spark tube seal because it was leaking some, did that today.

Trans is ok right now, but that doesn't mean much.

yea reason i ask is cuz my DD tranny is taking a poopoo. And its only making shy of 230hp NA and tranny is gone, but also has 125k+ miles on the OD

Gotcha. My trans is not the original trans. I bought this one used on k20a but some of the gears were replaced. Once you have good fresh gears with nice engagement teeth, the best thing to do IMO is to make sure the pedal is adjusted so you get the most throw out of it as you can using the stock cmc and it will shift nicely for you.
