Why paint the pressure plate? or does it come in that color already?


Looks good.

Looks decent. Much better than before but did you rebuild it atleast so it performance in a enhanced state rather than just look like its in a enhanced state?

its got a few newer things but im on a tight budget so i cant do alot, it will have an SC in a few months, but hte pressure plate was red just a little faded so i touched it up. not sure why i guess becuz i could. lol. its got a Stage 1 exedy clutch, and better spark plugs, ported, im boring out the TB to fit the 2.3L throttle body flap. its goin to be a little better once i get the SC its goin to be alot better. ill get pics of the car itself in a few days to show yall what all got done with that too, while its been sitting for a few months, lol.

I'm sorry but performance and looks have nothing to do with each other,

Good job.

I didn't intentionally imply horsepower performance. Simply to rebuild it to perform as in the state of rejuvenation. Why make it look good and not make it work just as good, not necessarily power. He did a good job, but its like slapping makeup on a old woman and calling it beauty. Rebuild it and make it run as if it had just a few thousand miles rather than running over 90 thousand miles and with oil leaks. In retrospect so you can understand. Why give a tune up to a car when you can just repaint the car and call it a day?

Anywayz it looks good Zak, just trying to help
