The clutch line needs additional heat shielding and you should change to better fluid. No problems after making that switch.

No fix for this aside from race ABS or adding a bias bar and removing ABS entirely. I think it's driving style related maybe heat or wear related. Never been a problem for me.

I ran without the front undertray recently but I don't know if it made any difference.

This really is a great forum and a wonderful resource. Thanks!

No problems so far with bearings. I did have to replace pistons when I rebuilt the calipers though. It was a pretty cheap rebuild though really.

RadioFlyer. With your skill level. Start with a 34 row oil cooler, Stillen brake ducts, stainless brake lines, top shelf brake fluid, track pads. Then change out things as you learn the car more.

Hotchkis front swaybar, SPL upper front control arms, coilovers.

Vented hood, bigger radiator, LSD,

Never had a problem with PS fluid. Never had a problem with the MT. Thou it can be a picky an times. People have toasted the syncro's in it. Mostly 5 gear.
