i test drove 6 MT before buying my Z and liked none of them. hate the clutch in the 370. never drove one with the RJM setup though. stock it's trash

Yeah, my insurance has taken possession of it already lol. It was at McGann and Chester if you want to go look for it, grab my Ark exhaust while you're at it too

I agree the stock clutch is trash, and especially terrible with the stop and go traffic/hills in Pittsburgh.

ugh that location blowssssssss to get to right on saw mill or whatever that road is lol

based on where i live/drive i would hate a stick since i do summer daily the Z. i take a good bit of backroads which are all hills.

plus the 7AT shifts hard and responsive. it was leaps and bounds better than any other non-dct AT i 've driven so i went that way.

Yeah the smarter decision, considering where we live, would've been to get an automatic

Too bad I'm not smart

On the plus side, you can run the BP Turbo Kit

The newer ones apparently are more adjustable so I might try the clutch spring mod while saving up for a new pedal

$140 + a couple bucks for shipping. Its OK but I wont lie, the new version is a whole lot nicer and a lot easier to install.

depending on how much you drive it could change that thought though.

there's times i wouldnt mind having a manual to play with but i still shift every shift on both cars.

How can I say no to that?

madwi · 05-02-2019, 09:42 AM

I wasnt planning on going that way anytime soon but if the Z is up and running good, I might just want to take a cruise that way.

Stage 2 or Stage 3 clutch? Not worried about pedal pressure. Purposeful track build.

Joe recommended the Stage 2 at my power level. I was leaning towards the Stage 3.

I'm running a stage 3 while still NA for now, and it's fine. Are you planning to use the CMAK? I've heard the HD CSC requires a little more pressure to operate. It's definitely more rigid than the stock clutch, but personally I prefer it.

I think I will save up for the newer version, I appreciate the offer though!

Yes. I have the Z1 kit now. Will be switching over to the CMAK v2 kit.
