We are running Exedy Twin Plate,not the best at the town driving and traffic,but amazing on the drag strip or track

Agreed they're good

But main concern if will take so much abuse such as Exedy twin plate

As I said looking forward to feedback on Helix

Alyn doesn't hang about. I'm lucky that he's only a 10 minute drive away.

Well after a few days of stress as the last auto electrician totally f****d things up again (I've had 3 by the way) of which none of them was man enough for the job !

I finally got put onto my guardian angel thanks to GEZ P your a star !!!!
After a quick call well half an hour trying to explain to Tim my situation and been let down many times he agreed to turn up on a bank holiday to pull me out the sh*t,and that he has !
I cannot thank Tim enough (ex ZEN Performance employee) you really know your stuff !
We now have a car that is wired safety and runs now ready for remap next Tuesday thanks to all who have helped me on my project and those that have set me back you know who you are !

Just happy help your build mate.

That fuel rail looks shocking mate, hate it when people let you down like that.

Tim is the man, he's the only one that touches my scoob. And Duncan too of course

Well another day at the happy camp found out this morning the top adapter of my 25 row Mocal oil cooler was leaking..! Arghhh !

After nearly removing the while front end found out that it wouldn't tighten , so decided to cut it off drill it out and re-tap the thread 3/8 bsp fitted a washer flushed out and everything ok again !!!

Still a few jobs to get done like fit passenger seat , bleed brakes raise suspension 15mm set tracking and get rid of air lock (even though I don't have a heater matrix ) confused !!

Just found out the hard way after trying to fit a passenger seat for the past 4 hours that it won't fit as it has the side wings and the B pillar of roll cage prevents this, so I borrowed a recaro from one if the rally cars for Duncan to sit on.
