Welcome, BB!

What did you get- year, color, trim package, etc.? Where abouts do you live? Your old Integra got much better mileage, but your 8 is mucho mas fun!!

welcome to the club brother. I have an 04 SS, mt and live in sandy, but usually in draper/riverton. You need to come out to some meets, look either in here or on the other utah thread for upcoming meets, good stuff. You planning on modding that 8 let me know if you need/want any help, more than willing to help a fellow 8'er. The thing with your clutch two things come to mind. But does it happend during hard braking or all the time? It could be your anti-lock brakes it scared the crap outta me first time it happened, or your clutch pedal bracket is wearing. Does your clutch pedal move left to right? BTW how many miles are on it?

Thanks for the invite Bose, it only has 30k on the miles thats pretty good for the others i was takin a look at. I saw the nagivagtion on it so i had to get it, even though i wont use it much it makes me feel neat.... lol. But nah the cluth pedals feels fine, whenever i put it into gear though i can hear it engage and when i brake it makes the same noise but im starting to think its just when the engine is cold, it didnt seem to do it much after i was off work. But yea im lookin to throw alot of money into it once i get some money saved up, my old teg kinda racked up the tickets in sandy for me so i moved to herriman ha ( sandy pulls you over for ANYTHING, gets annoying )

Good deal, may want to switch to some redline trans/diff fluids makes them silky smooth. I didn't get the navi with mine, wish I had but oh well. I haven't been pulled over yet in Sandy but I don't really drive there I'm usually on bangerter or I-15.

I have a silver 04. I have no wing me and a couple buddys have wingless alliance goin'. Mainly cause everyone keeps telling us to put one on. But they are sexy, if I got one it will have to be the mazdaspeed one but it's a grand.

Come on, bose, get the spoiler. It adds 20 hp! lol

Baby Boy, be careful closing the trunk. Don't push on the spoiler. Use the "secret handle" instead.

Weather is supposed to be dry for next weekend, temps in the upper 40's- low 50's. Of course, that's a long ways out for predicting the weather, but we can keep our fingers crossed.
