Clutch noise is easy to live with, even the gear box sounds good in a weird way but I don't like the judder I get, slow crawl in first can be a pig - I ve got it in my head that as soon as the clutch has seen a few good launches it will all get better - My car won't be mapped till June and until that day won't see any real revs \ power


Granby

the clutch seems perfect 95 % but if I want to use the car to get to work IE sit in stop start traffic for 5 miles the old polo seems a dream

Im hoping Skull will give a full review of the os giken when he gets his back

Right Fella's,

I am not saying a word until I give it some over the weekend.
The drive home was a total nightmare (4.5 hrs) of mass traffic.

Here are some pics

Good stuff Clive, sorry I couldn't catch you at Sheffield, had a crazy week at work.

Mad I'll probably pop over and introduce myself at Elvington tomorrow. Didn't realise it was you last @ round 1 otherwise I would have then. Good luck for tommorrow anyway.

Is anyone else going to Elvington Tommorw?
