Hakster Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 It is quite a slow forum, you'll soon get used to not getting many comments. Start a thread in the "members rides" area and keep us updated on your progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddshoes Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks guys the white one is my current pride and joy and hopefully next year I should be around 320bhp at the fly about 290 @ the wheels. As you can see I like to tinker but I am just as hot on my maintenance so the first will be a real good service and clean, I am going to be possible driving about 2000 miles a month so with looking around I will want to find out what's my best lowering option without loosing to much of the comfort and a good set of rims tooDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddshoes Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) I do have a few question though I have just covered 645miles in it since yesturday morning and when i was half way through the journey i seemed to of lost my clutch pedal but was able to change into some gears by rev range matching and some times there is a clutch but you really have to mash the clutch pedal right into the carpet and then someIs there an adjustment for the clutch pedal for pre load on the pedal?How long should a original clutch last? As i think it might be the original one with 72000 miles on it!As it should be easy enough to fit (as well as want to do the cambelt and service too) so where is the best place to buy parts? Is there any recommended specialist or garages near me? Edited September 16, 2012 by oddshoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
