A massive thank you to Maggs and Mandeep for sorting my coilovers today i really appreciate the time and effort that went into fixing my clunking BCs, and just to let you know, the car feels a LOT better now.

on another note... b@$t@rd clutch!!!
off to lateral performance tomorow... remap on hold

lovely looking hawk mate. but ure lucky ure getting the clutch replaced now as u would have needed it done soon after the remap,

i ve got the same car and fitted the same turbo, and was running 355bhp 353lb/ft but my front diff started squealing like a bitch,so just put 6spd in it

the vf43 can get around 380 ish bhp but i wanted mine safely as its a daily driver.

wonder if those wheels would fit over brembos???

I didn't have to change the flywheel on mine, it turns out its had a clutch change previously, and an uprated flywheel was fitted last time, which was still in minty fresh condition, so I didn't need to replace it.
I know lateral performance sell them, and there's lots on ebay too.

Maggs my wheels are still in the states, won't be landing til November 16th so its a long long wait

ummmm now that is odd because no one i have phoned ,lateral,scoobyclinic,API ,DDM ,EXEDY directly. none of them do a flywheel for a wrx 2.5 5mt from 06-07 as they changed them to a push clutch.. the only ones i have found ar a company called compotition clutch (cc) and they only sell as a complete kit clutch and fly, which is no good to me as i have a pink box waiting to go in......

so was yours slipping then and when you stripped it down fly was ok??/

Yes mate, mine was slippin pretty bad, stripped it down to find an exedy basic clutch and exedy flywheel had been fitted previously. Fitted the pink box with anti judder disc and after the first few hundred miles all is well and as smooth as a footballers legs.

No it was done by a previous owner, I was shocked to see the clutch and flywheel had been changed previously, the cars only done 45k miles, and I thought the clutches were supposed to last 60k! Maybe other 5spd flywheels fit? Its only the clutch that's different, due to being a "push" clutch

Hmmmm it looks cool but not sure if it goes with your leather. Have you lacquered them Rey? Won't they wear off if you haven't.

Not sure rey, your car is more the smooth and subtle type. Looks wrong IMO
