I'm wondering if this car has a Speedway adapter for the T5? I have heard many times of issues with clutch components scraping on these adapters. Usually just a little grinding needed to clear.

Also wondering if the flywheel has been turned enough times that it's time for replacement. Disc hitting the bolt heads seems to indicate that as a possibility.
