thanks man!
yes there's been a lot that has gone on with the car since posting this thread lol

I'm gonna start a build thread soon to outline it all, but yes I was at St Thomas labour day weekend for a grudge race event...while testing the day before the event, #7 cylinder decided to throw in the towel

AndrewSS was there and was a huge help with diagnosing problems with the car
He had almost every tool I needed with him, which were the only tools I didn't bring (always the way it works)

Haven't got a chance to tear it down yet, but I put an inspection camera down the plug hole and confirmed a nice chunk outta the piston and what appears to be a pretty scored cylinder wall...I'm assuming ring land failure that may have been caused by some pinging over the years (running 91 instead of 94 octane, and maybe a little to aggressive on the tune).
Again, have yet to tear into it, but I have a good idea of the damage...fingers crossed for the heads/valves to be in good shape!

I do have plans for the car, but I don't wanna disclose until I have the new setup sitting in my garage (pending deal). But I will say it should get me my 10 second pass

I have two of these clutches. One I’m running with a 5/8 master and it’s really nice

BC2 for me as well. Super smooth and easy peasy to drive. Zero chatter.
