i asked him what he meant about the clutch, said its just where its really heavy, and the overboosting bit, said it seems to build up boost, then bog down, so guessing fueling.
He is moving headertank to scuttle area, fitting new front discs, mintex pads, dot 5.1 fluid, braided brake lines, fitting the 'Otter' induction kit, the set of coolant hoses from unstable cable, my ktec downpipe from my old r5, new fuel filter and doing the cup mod.
I'm going to do the bushes on the wishbones and new ball joints ect soon.
Ive got a copper core rad off my old 5 to go in, and a lower temp fan switch, thermostat.
need to rebuild the carb, get the engine rebuilt, and have a good poke about in the engine bay when its out see if everything is tip top, get a new fuel pump aswell me thinks.... ermmm the turbo is smoking but hopefully get a track day out of it, might try and get a spare to take with me just incase
