    new clutch slipping

    The outside ring is lower than the center ring. Hence why if you just machine the actual surface the clutch uses (the inner part) you'll be loosening the clutch assembly. They're not on the same level.

    ? Has anyone thought of this

    Not really more piping and it's the tight bends that's the issue... Stolen from another thread

    new clutch slipping

    Properly machined flywheel as you can see from the tool marks(backstep is on the outside, the pins need to be pulled to do it, but they should have the tool)

    Engine Lifespan..?

    Forged engine isn't going to lower lifespan if the tolerances are right... If anything it would improve it at the same power levels (depends a bit on piston design as well, but now we're splitting hairs)

    The short version is that it's really not an ideal path, someone on the forums has done it already for the 7M...

    Wondering about lights

    Bulbs with coatings on them = dumb Cheapest route to good lighting is going to be the Hella E-codes and a headlight rewire with relays.

    Dual or single tip muffler

    Oval muffler with one tip looks goofy IMHO... Hence why I waited for the RR exhaust.

    new clutch slipping

    Honestly, should have taken it back to the shop if you don't have the cash to fix it correctly as it's THEIR screwup at this point...

    new clutch slipping

    If it's a stock flywheel, they machine the backstep as well... If the backstep is not machined it WILL slip (know from experience)

    Cams

    Intake cam is different. CPS is driven by the exhaust cam so something isn't lined up. The shims have to be adjusted, can't just slap it in and expect it to be spot on.

    mkiii blower sux?

    Expecting something that's 20 years old to work like it's brand new = epic fail Seals are going to be leaking, the blower is gonna be dirty, the motor will be tired, and the wiring may be shot...

    new clutch slipping

    Ugh, no, you don't machine the pressure plate, you replace it. Flywheel, if you can't replace the inserts, it's junk...

    new clutch slipping

    No, pressure plate is not machined, the backstep on the flywheel is. RPS segmented flywheel is NOT supposed to be machined, you replace the insert instead (same with any of the other aluminum flywheels with steel insert)
