Kaaz differential - talk to Dan Ponze at Godspeed Motorsports:

Stronger Clutch:
I need to remember to call them with some info, but ACT makes a 44% stronger pressure plate. I was lucky enough to get the first one and it's great. I put in a toda flywheel at the same time... I love the flywheel, but if you want to be able to launch your car without dumping the clutch, make sure you don't put in a lightened flywheel... it doesn't really matter to me since I don't risk any sort of launch with my car anymore, but with an 8 lb flywheel, you'll have one hell of a time trying to get a good launch out of the car.

Hmm, not very nice. You might want to write them a letter.

Thank You Rev!
I've been screaming that forever and the only person to agree so far is the Rev?
The moons must once again be in alignment

BTW, anybody got a line on a heavier flywheel for our car?

talk to the service guys today. without opening it up yet, the tech said it looks like the diff was blown straight backwards. i'm getting a whole new rear end assy, and will be opening up the old one to take pics.

Bob, you've got motorcycle background, you know whats up
I've already purchased a new stock unit so we'll go with that this time but maybe heavier next time.
Thanks for the info!
