Hi Stig.
Exedy Twin Plate clutch was £ 1,042.56. I believe it may of been subject to some discount as we purchased other bits too.
P2 completion date? we are aiming at Christmas this year.

Right then, a little update 
I've been to RCM today and picked up everything I need to complete the bottom end build.
First up is the EJ22 CDB, this has been modified for 14mm Headstuds, converted to rear thrust bearing, block faces skimmed, each cylinder has been honed per piston and finally a pre assembly clean. So basically it's ready to build.
I quite like this next one, Personally embossed with Clive's surname LOL
Next up was the RCM Baffled oil Sump
To compliment this, a Cosworth baffle plate which goes inbetween the sump and the block.
This is the best solutuion to prevent oil surge other than a full on dry sump set up.
Oil Pressure will be monitored with the Syvecs datalogging so we can keep an eye on things.
A whole load of seals, gaskets etc for the bottom end build.
A Modified RCM pump has been ordered.
Here's a pic of the Wiseco Pistons, Matt has kindly already gapped the rings for me.
Finally, a new genuine Subaru water pump and Zero sports thermostat which opens slightly earlier to keep water temps down thus cooling the engine more effectively.
Frustratingly I'm just waiting for the Rods from Lateral to turn up which were ordered on the 12th Feb and through no fault of Mark's are still stateside being manufactured.
As soon as they turn up the project can finally be started

Nice job Clive, are you not busy at the moment. All this time to play with editing vid's.
Pity you wont get through the next MOT, Number plates fail to comply with current legislation

I wish you'd stop putting up such good quality vid's of "our car" as when I buy it I'll have half the country to bid against.

I forgot that I had arranged to go to RCM tomorrow to drop the heads off for various machining to be done on them.
So I started at 9pm with this.
and various stages over the next four hours ended up with completely stripped heads ready for RCM to go to work on.
I got the bare heads boxed and ready to go at just gone 1am
Engine has been rebuilt at some stage but by some cowboys by the looks of it.
Heads pre porting
Stripped and ready to go
That's the horrible messy part over and done with. The next stage is to start rebuilding with all the new shiny bits Still waiting for the bloody rods to arrive though!!!

Darren,
If you think it's frustrating, how about Crower pulling out the stops, getting them ready 3 weeks early, and then finding you can't get them because some sodding volcano has fecked all the flights !
Mark.
