And the clutch is IN!

Took about 4 hours and still no test drive (I broke the new starter, go figure) but the new clutch is in. John did all the heavy lifting and bolt-breaking for me. Went with a Zoom MU-Series as it's an SCCA approved OEM clutch for my class. Old clutch had material wear on the outer edge and more meat in the middle (weird) but the pressure plate was toast. Turned the whole center hub blue!

I've got a list about a zillion miles long to get done before next weekend, but it looks like the old girl will make the SCCA autocross and maybe even stand a chance!

I'll post up some pics and whatnot after I get it going tomorrow.
