    That's what happens when you buy ebay shit. Sometimes it's best to buy the good stuff for a reason. Exterior parts are a different story, but never compromise on safety and a good product.

    lol, you're right. AWD is where it's at. After riding in Randal's (remanhart) subbie, I plan on getting one after college. And I've never claimed the lude was reliable, its fun, but not reliable. lol.

    If I would have towed it to my friends garage, it would just be the pressure plate, but I had to drive an hour in 2nd gear at 4k rpm. That threw the dowl rods and peices of the pressure plate around in the tranny and scared up my flywheel and cracked my clutch disc. So I'm going with a lighter flywheel and a CC stage 3 or 4 clutch/pressure plate.

    Clutch warranty for 12 months or 12k miles on "defects". Is being built like crap a defect? I hope so. Even if I just get it replaced, I can sell it and make some of my money back.

    wow, lol. I bled and adjusted my clutch pedal like 5 times trying to avoid dropping my tranny.

    yeah, and I ALMOST sold it to make $400 more than I paid. I'm glad I didn't now.

    I rarely buy ebay knockoff stuff. But I do use ebay ALOT to buy namebrand, used/new stuff. I got all my emanage harnesses from ebay, my fogs/bezels, my gauges and gauge pod, my shiftknob, etc.

    The only actual knockoff stuff I've bought there was my BOV (which is not leaking like my turbonetics raptor did) and my obx front tie bar.

    lol, be careful. this was an F1. I've used another brand called like, XTD or something like that and it did started slipping at 6k miles.

    When it comes to think like clutches, I'll be going with name brand now.

    lol just what i was thinking...This guy named Randy made my stage2 6puck sprung clutch and re-surfaced my flywheel. I used to launch my car at about 3500-4k with no problems or slippage. still grabs as hard as when i first got it. heard he makes clutchs for Lethal but im not sure how true that is. pm me if you want info
