my bad I thought the clutch went with the engine, but it was dead?

still the best ive used was the helix, but it is very heavy. although I heard good things about the kestral it didn't seem to suit Dylan.

You're best off spending good money on a Helix of ACT etc.

Does anyone know if the PG1 clutches are the same as Honda clutches? This opens up your options massively, you can buy well tested and reasonably priced clutch and be done with it. The choice is massive

Location: kent		Haven't udated in a while, new plans for susan, I will be taking the 1.4t out and replacing it with a 160vvc out of a mg zr,

Once I do put the 160vvc in I 'may' sell for the right price...

Shall upload a few pictures during the swap

Location: kent		It is mate, done all the welding when I first got it and kept it painted and waxoyled ever since, it's the best shell I have had, it's got a few little bits that only an ocd person would care about.
