ForceFed's Project P5 Build Thread

magnumP5 · Aug 7, 2008

I used the OEM throw-out bearing with my Exedy Stage I clutch (comes with the kit IIRC) and no problems/noise here.

ForceFed · Aug 7, 2008

No Afermarket Clutch Kit comes with an OEM bearing....It comes with an Aftermarket Replacement.
An no....Not all bearings are created equal.

Enough of bearing talk.....I need to do some more work and update this post...Geez...I am slackin'

Ya the bearing that comes with the Exedy might be OEM, I know SPEC uses another brand, it's garbage though.

You might be slippin'.....But I was holding out until I got a good handle on it to post up what I was doing.

I have been slacking lately, but I do have a New part being Made for my particular oil setup...and it can work for you other guys too who want to install Oil pressure gauges and Such.

Info will come shortly.

Figured I might as well update this thread anyway even if a Partout may be in the near future.

I have gottem most of the body work finished this week and I finally got to fit the new fron bumper and headlights to make sure everything fits after having to do some tweaks on the passenger fender.

The guy I bought this car from was not friendly on it at all to say the least...but all is good...I got it squared away.
