As far as I know still waiting for dvla to issue registration. I want the mods fitting next week and remap booked. Trade plates won't work but they can trailer it to enginetuner for remap if they have to surely. The day it gets registration it can be mot'd and I can pick it up. I realise they are busy but I don't care about their other customers lol.

My poor car just sitting there

The sports cat doesn't fit properly! Torque GT are sending it back to Hayward and Scott along with the original from the car to match up.

Darren at Torque GT has been great.
Insanely ****ed off at the moment and the reason I chose an off shelf item is to avoid this problem.

Im honestly starting to worry I wont make Japfest on July 1st!!

When searching I looked at loads, even ones in the U.S.
The U.S guys seemed to be buying from H T Autos over here. I checked them out and found they looked spot on, had a good reputaion and the splitter follows the lines of the bumper nicely imo. Not a silly big touring car looking thing but not barely noticable small either. As Goldilocks would say 'just right' lol

Now needs a new clutch as it is slipping in higher gears (pre remap).
Really pushing my buttons at the moment this car!

Still down at Torque GT buddy. Looks like I'm fitting the bill and they are fitting for free.
They angled it as if it was the extra power from the exhaust system caused it.....

Kin ell, at least everything is covered for future.... Sometimes wonder if mine slips in high gears, but at 19000 miles it really shouldn't. Always had suspicions that mine was gymkhanaed, but then you would expect a spec C to be launched and ragged a bit. What clutch?

Not sure mate yet mate. Competition Clutch was mentioned. They do a lightened flywheel/clutch package which seems reasonable.
I have been recommended an Exedy package but have been told the one I had in mind would be a bit of a mare on the road.
