The door damage sucks. You however get a dumbazz award for not maintaining the battery terminal a little better Cheap easy fix though.

But it does suck though man. How's the clutch feel btw?
Fawking awesome. There's zero chatter and I couldn't be any happier honestly

Default Update

So I went to the shop this morning to show them the damage. The owner immediately admitted fault and it was and accident, which do happen. He said that he has a guy that would come to the shop and fix it. The turn around time would be about 3 days. Before I could even ask about a loaner car he offered it. He said that we could do it next week when he gets his loaner car back. He also offered to fix my hood scoop which had be oxidizing pretty badly as of late, for free and that if I wanted anything else done on my car by way as of performance that he would take a considerable chunk off of the price. All in all I'm pretty happy that it's going to be fixed.

Hey, brah sorry if this is a little off topic but what kind of specs did you get on the clutch?

I drove a friends 600 horse cobra with a stage 3 centerforce in it and.....well I'm not gonna lie I killed it a few times lolz. It seemed to engage immediately off the floor. My clutch I can lift a couple inches (maybe) until it begins to engage. It's a king cobra. The stage 3 seems to go from little bit to fully engaged in what seemed to be 1/2".

I know you're planning on a power adder (as am I). Just wondering why you ended up with.

Also, was the chatter from the ignoramus break in you think?

Moonshine, that's all in clutch adjustment. That has nothing to do with the clutch itself. You can adjust it using a firewall adjuster to get the clutch to engage just where you want it to be.

Okay. That makes sense in regards to location of engaging. What about how quickly it fully engages in relation to movement of the pedal?
