Has an exedy sport clutch of some sort (pardon my n00bness)

I dont exactly know what a brand new clutch is supposed to look like in comparison to a worn out one but eh we'll see. Seems to be pretty new I guess? :lol:

Well everything that can wear out on the car was replaced, brand new pads, rotors, shocks and springs, fluids were really clean - must of just come out of a major overhaul :lol:
shame to crash it after spending that amount of coin on it :?

Sorry to hijack the thread :oops:

you can tell by the rivets on the clutch disc, if the disc is worn down close to them its worn.

sort of like an indicator thats on your tyres
