if you search you will find other threads on clutches and LWFWs. I recall reading several of them and the general consensus was that a LWFW was a bad idea on our cars.

there were a handful of people who had them and really like the increased responsiveness, but Jake and others who are "in the know" have said you are basicallyh playing russian roulette with your motor if you put one on...

search for flywheel, clutch, etc.

I'd be interested to hear what you do...my car has 75k miles, stock clutch, and I'm sure i'll be doing one at some point... if there ends up being a SAFE way to do a LWFW, I'm all in.
