thetrashcanman Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Will look forward to see yours finished Jon! My work is going to keep me away a lot over the next few months bud, rather enjoy it the way it is than wait on the body shop to finish it Fair enough mate, like you say means you'll be able to enjoy it over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Poor show on the buyers part. Why not just repost the bits for sale and get it transformed!? Shouldn't be in the bodyshop that long as OEM parts should be a straight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just repost the bits for sale and get it transformed!? Shouldn't be in the bodyshop that long as OEM parts should be a straight fit. I can't be bothered with all the parts sitting gathering dust, getting damaged in the shed mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Managed to get my dad to pick up my front lip today from the royal mail depot due to me being away offshore at work..... BUT they wouldnt release it to him becuase he didnt have photo ID proving who i am and what relation he is to me?! He had all the relevent documentation and even the SAME ADDRESS as on the package, but they still declined to give the lip to him! Will hopefully pick it up on monday morning and pay the import and tax duties....... £18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Haha what clutch are running? I'm running a stage 1 and works great with it Mine's a RPS twin-carbon. It handles the power no problem but it's VERY snatchy and makes it hard to get the car off the line quickly / easily. I keep saying I just need more practice but it's two years this month since I had it fitted so that reasoning is wearing a bit thin now!

Just give you more reason to practice launches is it ok for normal driving? Could just need to adjust the LC rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard/read the triple plate is alot better mate, but obviously alot more money :/ and DB if when I went out in Dave's car is anything to go buy its like it all the time even general driving, although if I'm wrong I'm sure Dave will quickly correct me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
