pedrosixfour Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'd still love to know how this is deemed as saving money!! You may find the Evo an even bigger money pit than the Supra but as long as you're happy mate. The very best of luck with your plans for it.

But no matter, you'd only be preaching to the choir. I've just been browsing 6 speed sequential gearboxes, care to see if we can get a quantity discount from Dude??

magictorch Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Bit of an update... While the engine was out CPP inspected the clutch and its looking a bit tired so im fitting a Exedy HD clutch....good for 600+ should be fine for what i need....I was advised that the stock clutch wouldn't last one meet if i launched it properly tho:d Replaced my expansion tank with some bling....also lost some weight there as well:) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7122/7110024033_38fdb7257e.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
