Default Mantic Twin

Got this from ECS the other day. It's about 16lbs lighter than the previous setup. I'm happy to see this and I can't wait to try it out.

They are weight adders to help the car have a lower center of gravity. You glue them in random spots all over your car like the rims, half shafts, drive shafts, and even throw them in your oil pan for really low mounted weight.

They work well in conjunction with your headlight fluid. Make sure you change your air in your tires from sumer to winter air soon.... This has been a psa from rithsleeper, you're welcome.

Or they are the centering blocks for the discs, I could be wrong though.


Thanks for the business, if you have any questions feel free to call or PM!

Sorry for the late update. I've put 100 miles on it and everything is working fine. No hard use yet just trying to break the new clutch in per Mantic and ECS's recommendation. The ECS remote bleeder is much longer than the LAPD one and that's a good thing. Pedal is easy. Not stock easy, but about right in the middle between stock and the RAM Power HD and SPEC 3+.
Here's video of it revving:
