ill try and keep this brief to avoid being the "noob" that i am anyway.
i just purchased my 2006 NFR from georgia, and have been so excited because after 3 years of wanting, 6 months of searching, and getting money in order, i finally have my baby.

anyway.. the interior is flawless, its black, and in great shape.

the exterior, is "dealership" condition, but im working on buffing out the scratches, swirls, and imperfections, while holding back tears for the chips knocked out of the front bumper, hood, and front fenders.
anyway....

the end of the vin is 004134 and i have the carfax... all the body panels match vins, and match the car... however, on the block, there is a different number right where it says f22c1 - 1044104. should this match the 004134 or is this normal for it to be different? carfax, i know is not always accurate, but the engine runs strong, only has 75.5k on the car and im not sure where else one would look for a matching number. help?

also...

modifications, im keeping this car SIMPLE.

ideas for a good clutch for a car that will ultimately have ~350-400 whp?
also, flywheel and pressure plate options would be helpful.

thanks guys/gals, i look forward to the responses and being on the org as a more involved member.

 

At work, but i'll answer one of your questions briefly. Your stock clutch will do just fine.

Welcome btw.

 

thanks! i feel like the flywheel switch out would be "important" or atleast useful in shedding roughly 14 pounds? thoughts?

 

 

It is a pretty popular thing for AP2 owners (04+) to switch to an AP1 flywheel. It is much lighter. Some also disengage/remove the CDV valve (AP2's only).
