How's it going,
I was just wondering what sort of clutches you guys are using. I went to one clutch place and the guy said that I shouldn't get a clutch that is too heavy coz the gemi firewalls are weak and it will crack the firewall, which sucks coz I wanted to get a triple plate or something put in.
Cheers
