Any local MT owners running the lighter clutch assist spring? I'm thinking of buying it. OEM is so numb.

I thought I would get used to it, but I've put about 1000miles on the Z so far and I'm still jerky into 1st and 2nd sometimes and look like a fool. Other times everything is smooth. I feel like everytime I don't drive the car for awhile I need to "relearn" the clutch.

I heard changing the whole assembly is the way to go for the best setup

Default Upcoming Meet

As of today, the weather for this Saturday is calling for a high of 58F, but a 40% chance of rain.

When will this be called either way?

I'm almost positive the Midwest Z meet is rain or shine. Personally I'm hoping for rain because I need the salt roads cleaned.

For this Sat, if it's raining it means I will not be organizing any premeet or official 370z roll in.

As an FYI, usually I cancel and reschedule "our" meets if it rains.
