GT2 clutch slave upgrade San Diego area ?
So it looks like I'm in the market for a clutch slave replacement.
I'm trying to decide between stock and EVOM's GT2 upgrade kit.
As I sometimes drive my TT in heavy stop - go traffic I'm wondering if I could tolerate the extra clutch pressure associated with the GT2 mod.
Question - is there anyone in the San Diego area who has this mod and would be kind enough to let me have a brief drive ?
Thanks Tim

Tim,
From my experience with this mod, I would say that if you can live with it, it's absolutely fantastic and very worthwhile. The feedback is perfect. I do not drive in stop and go traffic, so it's not an issue for me. The few times I have gotten tied up in a stop and go, while on out of state trips, etc., I have noted to myself that this would be a lot of work on a daily basis. A few minutes is not a big deal, but over 5-10 minutes and it gets to be work. I find myself catching up to the traffic, putting it in nuetral quickly and leaving it there as long as possible before having to move again. To hold it depressed for long amounts of time is a little too much for me. If the stop and go is occasional, then I would be inclined to do it. If you have heavy stop and go every day, it's a tougher call. If you drive one for a test drive, you will probably say "no way". It takes a week or two to become acclimated to the increased pressure. The first time, it's almost shockingly hard to depress, but after a little seat time, it becomes normal and doesn't seem bad at all.
