Is that going to be a leg breaker or are they no different to a exedy twin etc?

No different pedal wise

Are you ftting the hydraulic bearing on the clutch? I have the tripple plate carbonetic one and at 1st I thought it was a nightmare but now I'm used to it I couldn't care less.

I did try the clutch on the banana and the feel is really light as compared to ine as that has the hydraulic bearing fitted but it still wasn't £800 lighter :D

No hydraulic required. Was using it on the road and track previously.

Daily driver has an twin plate.

Just out of curiousity Simon, how will you prevent the front windows from bending outwards at high speed? Building frames on the doors?

dunx 06 May 2011 06:00 PM

Hi Simon,

given the car's potential, you have TOTB to aim for !

dunx
