Adam, tbh your the time you got in 2003 would be optimistic IMO, as they sorted the timing gear out in 2004, so it was more consistent.

If your going on the 10th April, i would be impressed if managed to break into the 12's, but suspect you may touch mid to low 13's.

Adam, my last running in of my clutch consisted of the following.

Take car off ramps after clutch fitted
Drive approx 1 mile gentle onto some back roads (c roads)
Give it maximum power whenever i could for the next 5 miles

Had no problems.
