One journal is worn down .2mm and hopefully being ground down and re ballanced this week. Dropped it off this morning to south cerney engineering so see what they can do.
In the mean time I want to re do the clutch. Will a six paddle helix out of a 03 sti be ok? Looks like it should fit.

No as it'll be for a 6 speed.

Did a bit of research and went for a 230mm (I think it was) stage two.

Short block back together. The big ends got polished and one of the con rods got re honed with a new set of bearings (over sized) its back in.
Got the heads to do then the plumbing then try and get it back in the car. Photo taken with a potato
