clutches aren't really hard to install so where is a good place is dependent on your location

and clutch type is dependent on how much power you wish to make

my recommendations are with NPC who i have built a good relationship with

getting a pedal box welded up is easy

yes, but having one pop (when out n about from home usually) some time after installing a heavy clutch isnt fun :domokun:

People squeal and get all excited and slap the heaviest clutch in and there* with no reason to.

*Assuming the car is stock again, and that the OP has no mechanical knowledge

i bought my clutch off an online dealer....he also deals on habibay......but i got everything for $350 delivered and my car makes roughly 250rwkw.....its holding up alright so far 8 months on and has see 1 full on thrashing at the track day....its called the F1 racing clutch

getting a pedal box welded up is easy

Not trying to hijack the thread at all, but my accelerator pedal pivot point has recently snapped at the top weld point (bottom one is still fine, so the car is drivable and it's also being held in by the carpet/backing there).

Who would I go to to get this fixed? I would imagine it's a fair bit of work, cos the welding could end up setting interior stuff on fire? And there's a lot of carpetting/backing around the accelerator pedal? I've searched the threads, and only found one other person this has happaned to (who's posted about it anyway), and they just riveted it in-place (despite everyone else in the thread telling them to just get it welded). Thoughts?

    • Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.
    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
