No still the stock clutch. The only reason I did the flywheel is because it was free. I didn't want to spend the extra on a clutch as well. To be quite honest, I want to say that I didn't notice the 1st/2nd bearing rattle thing. I will pay more attention to that specifically the next time I drive it.

I notice it when I wear flip flops or don't have my seat right and get a crappy lurchy start

Side note...

The service from AE Performance is AWESOME. Ordered my oil cooler at around 5:30pm last night and its already out for delivery here in Vegas.

I am pretty sure that is after the normal FedEx pick up time so I think they went out of their way to make sure it got out yesterday knowing I had to have it on the car by Friday night for the track.

Hi Mike,

Can you post the rough dimensions of the core?

I'm trying to plan out the space up front there and make sure I have room for an upgraded PS cooler as well.

22" long
8.5" tall
2" thick

Thats just the core. Not including fittings and mounting bracket.

ChrisSlicks · 04-14-2010, 04:53 PM

Perfect! Thanks Mike.

BTW I looked up the specs on this core and this is the most expensive core that Setrab makes, which explains the cost of this kit. It is rated for 40000 BTU's of cooling on a wet sump engine.

Paul@AEperformance · 04-15-2010, 02:43 PM

LOL, we don't mess around

We spared no expense w/ this kit, best core, lines, fittings, and adapters.

We quit playin game's in the 1st grade.

p.s It will fit np w/ ps cooler. We recently did a customer car w/ both coolers.

M.Bonanni · 04-15-2010, 06:35 PM

Installed photos!

Very high quality parts in this kit. You get what you pay for.

theDreamer · 04-15-2010, 06:42 PM

Not sure it is big enough.

M.Bonanni · 04-15-2010, 06:49 PM

Not playing around anymore. This car should be able to do as many laps as I can throw at it now...well...at least until I burn 1/8 tank of gas and then fuel starvation sets in.

vipor · 04-15-2010, 07:43 PM

I love it. /steal

What'd you do with the ps cooler? Just push it out in front?

Caravanshaka · 04-15-2010, 09:36 PM

I've seen FMIC's smaller than that thing! lol

I just reversed the mounting tabs so it sits back toward the radiator more, then I had to move it towards the left a little so the hoses would clear and add some longer hose (provided in the AE kit). PS cooler sits right behind the oil cooler now. You can kinda see it behind the lower oil line fitting in the 2nd pic.
