The new kettle!!

Picked up a driftworks solid lightweight flywheel. No pictures at the moment but weighed the two flywheels,dual mass was 11.5 kg's and the driftworks was a small bit over 5kg's. I'd say it will make a good difference to it! I'm sticking with the original clutch for the moment but I'd say I'll get something with a sprung disc at the end of the year, I don't think its too good having an unsprung clutch disc with a solid flywheel.

Found the subframe was cracked around the engine mounts the other day, googled it a bit and it seems its normal enough to happen. Turnermotorsport do reinforcement plates do I looked at them and thought I'd just copy them.

Here's the cracks and where the metal has been pulled away.

The other side looks more or less the same maybe a bit worse.

Cut some 2mm plate up from a template

Drilled some holes and stuck it on the subframe

The kit turners sell have some plates here at the back aswell so to be safe I put some on mine just incase the cracks would start at the new weakest point.
