veilsideTT Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Are you fitting yourself dude? My Cars back into hibernation now at my old mans garage im really gutted today as all i want to do is get out there and drive it! Its for the best though as the roads were bad this morning and the cars pretty hairy with the 6speed. Ive got slight flywheel chatter but if i raise the revs a little it goes away. So ill be raising the idle next week. What clutch setup did you go with in the end matey? My carbon carbon feels really nice, seems pretty slippable but wont know fully till ive ran it in. Only problem is my calf kills this morning as im not used to a stiff clutch pedal Scott Cabin pic Well done mate, looking forward to mine this week.....

Pete you hit the nail on the head! I prepared for this for three weeks. Spent loads of time at night on SF, mkiv.com and on here reasearching for the big day I re-checked all my kit loads of times and it helped having 2 of something in most cases from the first conversion kit.

Pig Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 16 x £??.?? per hour? Not sure what the hourly rate is. I assume between 30 and 50. 16 hours seems to be similar with most traders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
