Yeah i was planning on Royal purple even though this is a semi-temporary fix.
But if it ends up taking a beating as well as you say then i might as well stick with it right?

there's not really a point in beating on a k8... it's slow LOL :D wait until you get your klze, then beat on it - you'll enjoy that.

Yeah I realize that.
But it's faster than the Minivan i drove before the Mx-3. LOL KLZE will be here sometime around September, October. Be in by December, then i'll be beating on it. Clutch is supposed to be here friday. going to check out UPS tracking. Right now.

LOL sounds like my history... I drove an aerostar extended van until I got my 94 gs automatic... it was faster than the van but that automatic was much slower than my 5 speeds now... :driver:

88 Dodge Caravan. Almost Turbo'd it too.
Bur the K8 has gotten me into enough situations
to involve the police. Just hope i can hold myself back until i hit the track.
BTW, where is a reputable place to Buy a ZE from?

Scratch that i found a new flywheel.
But i got one more stupid question for the pros.
The flywheel is also interchangeable between the ZE and the K8 correct?
I need this answer A.S.A.P.
