If your making enough hp to blow apart a spec 4, i would have went with a mandrel bent exhaust. Besides that the car looks ok but i still think your bumpers look like a different color for some reason.
Its because the car is 6 years old. He tired to match the color best to stock.

i run spec clutches and they have been good.
last one was a spec 4, it lasted a season, this one is a spec 5 and it has been in all year and no signs of giving up.

send the clutch back to spec and they will diagnose it.. if it 'sucks' they will send a new one your way.

Yep I have a Spec stage 2 and it's been great so far. You have to break it in right though! You can't just pop in a new clutch and start ragging on it if you expect it to last. Mine is going on 12k of VERY hard driving and hasn't given me a problem
