was gonna suggest you put a pad lock on the bonnet looking really good lad

thanks mate

I keep checking it over and over again before I take it for a spin. lol

Cracking stuff, car looks excellent and you'll be amazed at how much difference the weight loss and flywheel will make. I bet you'd decimate a standard V6 round a track :-)

Liking the bonnet pins, where did you buy and how much if you don't mind me asking.
We're having problems with the bonnet catch so were thinking of going for bonnet pins, locking ones of course.

Thanks BAC, there is nice difference with the fly wheel all right. I only took it for a small spin on the private track.
But it was way more responsive. Thanks for the comment.

Are the 60mm springs fitted?

My rear is much lower than that on 40mm springs.

Bonnet pins are just sparco slandered joby things. I paid around 20 euro.
Can be got any where really, These are them http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/attachments/engine-and-performance/241229-new-sparco-racing-bonnet-pin-red-silver-blue-and-titanium-sparco-bonnet-pin-titanium.jpg
I had the bonnet catch off the last time but you can see what happened. So left it on this time lol

yeah CaptainChaos they are. It was way higher with the 40 in. Im putting it down to that there is no weight in the car any more.
When I have the funds Ill go down the coil over road.

Is there a difference between the release bearings for the pot type flywheel and the flat type?? Im trying to sort probs with my setup you see... im on the eco block too by the way fella. Car is looking mint fella, must get a ride in her some time!

GreddRob · « **Reply #109 on:** March 14, 2010, 22:20:41 PM »

There different as far as I know Dave, I got a release bearing with my clutch kit and we used that, When I say we, my mate Mark fitted the clutch. I binned the old one but Im sure from memory there different.
Ill send him a text and ask him.

GreddRob · « **Reply #110 on:** March 14, 2010, 22:29:16 PM »

No he says there the same, Whats the problem?

Dave · « **Reply #111 on:** March 15, 2010, 12:14:20 PM »

Thanks for finding out mate

Trying to figure out whether i have a prob with the clutch or an engine mount...

Pull away very slowly and carefully and she is grand, pull away like anybody else would and ya can feel the engine rocking, does the same if you back off in any gear, but gears 2 and 3 are more aggressive than gears 4 and 5.

I dunno if I had enough grease on the release bearing either... like its sticking you know....

so im just trying to figure out the possibilities. the mounts are all in nice and tight, as are the bolts from the block to the gearbox.... so i dunno... may be a rubber that needs packing with tigerseal or summat...

The only problem I had was that the pedal was very low down and very soft. My mate Marc adjusted it but still wasn't right, Turned out the pedal it self was very stiff so I pulled it up to right height while he adjusted it, Its perfect now.

Not for long do, lol Heat wrap on its way or should I bother??

Dave · « **Reply #117 on:** April 07, 2010, 16:32:06 PM »

I think I just creamed myself! Nice purchase Rob! Heat wrap it. Protect the shinyness for one thing, and I think it helps to reduce under bonnet temps too

GreddRob · « **Reply #118 on:** April 07, 2010, 16:38:02 PM »

Thanks Dave, It was you that wanted the sun roof? Ill be removing it this weekend so any time you like.
