Im definitely gonna upgrade my clutch =]
just not sure on what stage to go with.
I mean i wanna be able to drive in the street, you know?
Dont wanna go too stiff but not too soft either lol

There's a guy selling a Evo III 16G for $300
and he also has a 14B for $200.

I think im gonna get everything else and then get manifold and turbo last.
i will probably start ordering parts next week, I get all my leftover scholarship money then =]
should be fun!

Go for the 16g the 14B is smaller if you have future build improvements you will want the 16g. Stay away from ACT clutchs, the guys at the shop said they are crap. You can drive on the street with a six puck I do with my daily driver. Good luck with the build.

Sounds like a deal. Make sure to check turbo yourself for shaft play and visual signs of oil leaks ckeck manifold as well and make sure there is no cracks in it. Also check intercooler for dents and holes. Go from there and make a deal if you can for a lower price it never hurts to ask. Not sure about a 15g so it may be a little small like 14g, but will spool quickly.

Go with what your gut is telling you or ask for more up close photos to help you make up your mind.

Found it from a local guy.

How big is the turbo. I see its a turbo td04. Look forward to seeing what else you got. Looks like you save some dough and didn't have to pay shipping or wait to get the items.
