Ah right.
Tis way better stuff though, tis rubber rather than just foam, abit easier on the noggin

Prob makes no difference since tis a track car and you'll have a helmet on all the time

well not much happenin on this at the min just fitted pull cable and battery box, had a ball in mondello the last day i think i drove ok...the car went grand apart from bad clutch slip so was restricted to 2nd gear most of the day..

also some how damaged a front wheel but BC Designs have that all repaired and painted so big thanks to danny and eric for that..

the clutch was really bad as i said so it had to be changed, i was told it was a carbonetic clutch and sure enough it was, the friction plates actually broke apart

so with this removed i went about sorting a new one and decided to fit a lightened flywheel, was all set to buy one till i went to remove mine and realised it was a exedy lightened fly so thats gettin skimmed now as its badly scored from clutch

scoring on flywheel and pressure plate

after recommendations from numerous people in the know i decided to go for an exedy paddle clutch kit, i contacted dave in Japanese Performance who has these at a great price and looked after me as a repeat customer

hope to get this back in this week all going well

i also picked up some r33 gtr wheels off fredrick balls at a good price, there was some flaking so stripped them back to repaint

just them them 2 coats of primer, unsure of wat colour to do them yet but im in no hurry

next thing to sort out next week is a replacment dash as i fucked up cuttin mine, relocate the battery, get switch panel made up and get a front grill
