Default Thanks Whistler!!!

As the title says thank you for the clutch install yesterday. Also a great guy to deal with and one that truly stands behind his work. We will be in touch for future work on my car. Thanks again and i highly recommend him to any one for anything that you need on your car.

Well there was but I have seen and heard of people powershifting out of the shop after a brand new clutch was put in so I figured I would wait a day or so before really giving it hell. I actually drive like a baby and have taken good care of doing hot and cold cycles for the clutch and running slowly through the rev-range so Whistler and I both agreed on beating on it if I wanted to.
