    Hey guys, new to this site but not the car scene or atlanta. My buddy Jay0022 finally got me to come over and check the site out. I have a 2002 Toyota Celica GT-S that i recently got cuz my '00 was totaled.

    Missed last thurs. varsity meet cuz i'm trying to take it easy on the clutch in the new car as it needs to be replaced. The lowest quote i have gotten on install was from knowledge performance in kennesaw for $575. If anybody can point me to a place that does good work for less than that it would be much appreciated. I have the parts (TRD Japan Clutch, Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel, Throw out bearing, Flywheel bolts) just need someone to slap them on the car. Thanks in advance.

    Here are some pics:

    Welcome to the site man, I must say that car is hot! How did the clutch go bad so fast? My car is pushing 143,000 miles and still has good old stock clutch. I dont know of any shops that are cheaper than 525 installed... for my car they quoted an install for a stage 2 clutch at $800. Try and do it yourself... thats how we learn. lol
