Not yet. I just got it before I moved and with all the chaos with having a PCS from MD to here + xmas I haven't gotten the chance. I'll be ordering a new slave this week sometime and after that it'll go in. The Textralia should make a huge difference over the stock one. I'll definately hit yall up when the racing starts!

Let me now if you need help. We do a lot of this out of my house. I used to be 6 speed and had 3 new clutches in one month. Needless to say we are good at clutch R&R.

Welcome to the area! i live about 30 miles south from bloomington and am there prolly 3 times a week so I'm pretty local. The track they were/are? going to build is i39 raceway in Minonk, which is by pontiac, north of bloomington. The website is http://www.i39rpm.com/ but i dont know what the progress has been. Hopefully it will be ready relatively soon.

P.S The south side of peoria is rough.. something like 2 shootings in the past week.

Ahh I just came from between DC and Baltimore so I'm used to dodging bad neighborhoods... I live in North Peoria anyways. I can visit the south side when I feel like getting back to the MD days.

They were going to have the track here in brimfield before the farmers shut it down. That would have been a lot nicer drive then clear to cordova. Oh well....
