Homer Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Lovely job Might have missed it, but what brand is the intake manifold and are the runners part of the kit? Nice that it fits in without moving the fuse box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Lovely job Might have missed it, but what brand is the intake manifold and are the runners part of the kit?

Paul Whiffin Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Made it to Wales all ok last night so thats 150 miles on the clock. Got to say the Carbonetic triple plate clutch is absolutely fantastic, so smooth on take up and no snatchiness whatsoever. Not bad for a clutch that can take 1200bhp! Highly recommend these babies now I've felt them for myself, they do a twin plate version as well which will take 900bhp which is a tad cheaper, cant beat them for what your getting. Now I'm dieing to get back on the track, cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 only 150, need to get a move on if your putting it on the dyno next week If im off the weekend of snetterton I may come along and have a look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do a single plate version, if so what is it rated too and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
