Where? Probably not a dealership, or any kind of certified indy shop.

your whole setup looks really good! I apologize if you've answered this already but where did you get that steering wheel?Added as second nozzle (pre intercooler) to my water/meth injection and added a ethanol content gauge and a meth flow failsafe gauge and set up.

That’s 80 bucks an hour based on a 4 hour booked job... in Vegas that’s what you’d have to pay the tweeker down the road to do a clutch job.I paid $350 for my install...
I picked the finishes as a custom, but essentially this the broker you get it through, lol. Who knows who does the labor - but I can confirm that mine was built off a factory VW wheel frame.your whole setup looks really good!

$350? I've never once heard someone say they only paid $350 in labor for a clutch install on this car.
There's nowhere I'd trust to do it right for $350. If I thought that was possible, I'd have paid for it in a second. Anywhere reputable, around here at least charges at least double that. Most indy places a clutch + RMS could run $1000 easy and a dealership is charging $1500 afaik.
They look great... how's the install? Can you back to stock with relative ease? Not that I would go back to stock, but I looked at pedals by some other manufacturers and you basically have to destroy your existing pedals to install. I've looked at those Rennline pedals and added/removed them from my cart more times than I can count.Changed out the pedals

Part 7.
Clutch and rear main seal install completed. Workshop now suitably wrecked. All tools covered in various dirt and fluids, one million shop rags used, old t-shirts now must be turned into new shop rags.
Went on a 20 mile shakedown trip earlier this morning. No weird noises, nothing feels off, no oil, tranny or other fluid leaks... yet. I'll have to deliberately drive for no reason to get through the 500 mile break in period if the quarantine doesn't get lifted.
New clutch seems to work perfectly fine. Definitely harder effort than stock by about 25%. Bite point is just about in exactly the same spot, maybe a tiny bit lower.
Was this worth the savings in labor charges to diy... I honestly don't know..
good work, remember the best break in miles are stop and go, i'd say 600 stop and go or 800 stop/ highwayView attachment 168883
