    Looking good looks like all the right bit's for a lively car.

    Can I just ask did you spray the clutch red or is it a techniclutch item?

    In which case mate ask your friend where it came from as techniclutch paint there clutches red and are renowned as being poor. Nothing worse than fitting a new lump only to have to take it back out.

    ive just spoke to my mate and hes admitted painting it as his block was red, thanks though could have been bad if it had to come back out, you got me worrying there for a min!! im happy again now though, any idea where i can get the blue top for my forge header tank? also want to get a t28 roller bearing turbo as thinking of getting rid of the tomcat t25. thanks

    he said it was from black diamond, and its a kevlar stage 2 kit and cost about £180 ish

    That's excellent news. all you have to do is google techniclutch and its bad news.

    Single silicone hoses are normally hard to come by but eBay or a sneaky wanted ad on here would be your best bet.

    As for turbo I'm not too sure but Tomcat turbo can be good enough for 200bhp on the right engine.

    Bugger sorry on phone and didn't really read it fully. I'm sure someone on here recently bought a new cap but I can't remember who or where sorry. Try throwing forge and cap into the search function you never know your luck.
