Here are a couple shots of my FIGS heat shield. It's easy to install, stiff, keeps the intake cooler, and I don't hear any rattling.

Thanks Marsin. Hang in there. Remember to wait until you can afford what you want--it's a lot cheaper to do it right the first time.

I wanted something quiet, with OEM drivability, but grabbed better. I want it to be able to slip it in traffic, but hold on when I need the power. After doing some research and bugging people, I decided to pick up the IS300-spec Fidanza flywheel and Centerforce Dual Friction clutch. I'm also going to replace the OEM pilot and release (throwout) bearings. I took this pic a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to have it installed.


It sounds like you want a more aggressive setup, so you may want to look into something different. If you are putting down close to OEM power, this clutch should be enough for you. I know Teckis300 was using the centerforce DF in his GTE setup without any issues.
