Eww, my car went in today to have the puck clutch removed. It's a PITA to drive around in traffic with - I've got no idea what Adelaide traffic is like, but here in Sydney you can find yourself doing 15-20km/h, stop-start, on the FREEWAY at times.

Spigot bearing is making a hell of a noise when cold anyway, so I'm killing (at least) two birds with one stone!

Really nick? Is it heavy or just super bitey?

And is your clutch master vacuum assisted?

I've got a s14 master and pedal installed already so it's not vacuum

traffic here's pretty easy,plus the times I go to work every other sucker is already working so it's not too bad

These have actually been on the car for a couple of weeks now, but I haven't had time to take any photo's, and it's been raining most days for the last couple weeks here.

Using my iphone again, cause i dont have a real camera

18x9 +18, 235/40 Toyo Proxes 4

Needs to be about an inch lower all round I think, and spaced out a little at the front. I also need to get a set of centre caps for the rims.

Investigated the Hatech install yesterday and discovered I'm going to have to reconnect about 50 wires before she goes in for the tune on Friday

Tried replying to this last night, but the forums were down...

It's actually bitey AND heavy. I can deal with the heaviness (even though I'm a skinny mofo), but like I said, with Sydney traffic the bite is a PITA. It's either in or out, and sometimes the car shakes REALLY badly as you try and release the clutch to move along slowly.

Nope, it's not assisted.

I'm soooo looking forward to having my car back so I can experience that for myself! Hopefully tomorrow, Andrew. The clutch is in, it was on the dyno this arvo when I called the workshop.

Just won a RHS Silver mirror for my S2 on Import Monster.

My RHS mirror got badly scratched on the garage wall at home, far too scratched to buff it out with cutting compound. Hopefully the air freight will get it here before the 21st of this month.

Thanks fellas

Yeah Mike, just needs a little bit more work and I'll be happy with it. Although I probably won't be able to go as low as I would like, due to the car being a daily - and I wouldn't be able to get it out of my driveway

[pipster11]

its used but for $100 you can't go wrong

Picked up the stag after new plenum install.

Sex!

Just ran a rag over it, so she's not detailed properly

[Tangles]

brian, looks awesome.

found a brake fluid leak in the Wilwood line setup, fixed. finally. 324mm wilwood superlite goodness.

doing a service on her at the moment, awaiting 4x 15mm thick bolt-on wheel spacers (needs 10mm to comfortably clear the calipers due to bracket setup

Loving my single plate organic from extreme. The stag is the first manual car (converted on the weekend) and Ive been driving in city traffic and finding it fine.

I personally kept away from Extreme clutches when I did my conversion. Ended up with a Nismo kit inc lightened Nismo flywheel which I sent all the kit to ACS for machining. Strong pedal feel, but very forgiving 1200kg kit. Not 'off or on' like most. I've had Extreme clutches in past cars and I haven't been impressed.

Fitted my Nistune ecu today, started right up. Going try to get my GCG hi flow on tomorrow, Tech edge wide band and then time to play.
