My first impressions:
- Pedal is ~25% lighter than stock and friction point engages a little sooner but absolutely no noise and OEM smooth
- It does seem to rev faster but does not drop RPMs quickly at all
- Very minimal chatter at low RPMs ~2k when lugging but only noticeable with windows up and radio off
- Starting the car makes a different, more distant whirring sound
- Shifting with my B&M is smoother than ever
- Stock flywheel is freaking heavy compared to the JUN!

i think to compensate for the thinner flywheel. forgot to take pics of it, but it was just a steel/zinc 1/4" diameter bolt cut on both ends and rounded
cool. i got the same clutch with the fidanza flywheel. i just got the car back today and i love it. i also added the Figs CDD Delete and a stainless clutch line. so smooth, light, and progressive. lexus should have put a similar setup in from the factory. + rep for DIY
Has anyone thought of experimenting with the liquid to air intercooler the newer turbo IS's use? They are more efficient than an air to air, as well as much more compact. You could use much less piping and get cooler intake temps and spend a small amount of $$ vs the prices for a good air to...
This has obviously been beat to death but I am not finding an answer to my specific inquiry. Stock t.b. Is 2.75" in diameter. SRT intake is 3.5"-4" depending on when it was made and requires the piggy back. Joez and PLP intakes are 3" in diameter. I am going to fabricate my own intake here, I...
Hi all,
I performed a compression test a few weeks ago and found that cylinder 3 tested out at 115. When I added about 3mL of oil and retested 2 different times with pretty long cranks, it never got above 120. This leaves me too believe there is an issue on the top end. I've started to take...
Just bought a Srt intake and am wondering if anyone has heard about the new Greaddy evo 2 exhaust...i can get it for 800.00 canadian but haven't not read any comments from any members about this exhaust and any hp gain especially in combo with the srt.....also does the SRT intake significantly...
Alright, it's finally done! I can't believe how much of an improvement it is. The engine speed rises and falls faster and smoother. There is less vibration with this setup, and changing gears is smoother because it is easier to rev match. I wish I would have done this sooner. It is MUCH...
