lemansz20 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I would LOVE to know the miles on that car, and what he did to need a new clutch b/c i hear those things are unstoppable.

See the last few pics in post #2. The pieces of the clutch pads are not supposed to be heat checked/cracked/broken off. Also the carbon fiber discs were very glazed and heat checked.

Edit: thanks for the comments. It was very cool to be a part of the procedure, and I'm sure I will be putting it back together to some degree as well.

Great pics. Perhaps you could find out what the owner did to cause this?
