new clutch fitted(paddle/exedy organic depending on price)
speedo drive from gearbox (already have the wee red cog)
arches rolled and respray (i would mess it up)

does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for garages etc. cheers.

 

Why a paddle? How much power you running/looking to run?

I know someone who can do it in Aberdeen

Exedy STi Clutch Kit (230mm), Skimmed flywheel (exchange), Spigot Bearing, fitting - 425

Lots of eBay sellers that can supply the clutch at a good price if you want to get that yourself?

If you want to go a little further south, try AWD in Perth (01738 633336)

yeah, maybe just an exedy organic due to getting stuck in traffic alot.
shall check out fleabay.

but i think its the stealers to get the speedo fixed and what guy can fix the clutch. has he done a scoob b4.

 

theres a guy posts up in here from time to time from inverurie who can do this work for you, goes by the name of WUZ, look him up and give him a PM lol

 

i had a suspicion it was the said gentleman.

whats the script then, was kinda hoping for a competent garage.

 

if you want to pay over the odds for a garage then fair enough

 

ME? COMPETENT? HELL NO! - although I have worked on the odd scoob or 2 in my time

Russell

 

ps - Ac!d, be careful or I'll sell on all those parts STILL SITTING IN MY WORKSHOP!.................already had 2 people wanting to buy the Superleggeras

Russell

 

Russell, im just leaving to pick up the RA now, your garage will be returned to you SOON VERY SOON!

just bloody like it though, your away yer holidays when ya get back

 

hey you two, this is my post

someone help

 

Russell replaced my clutch and flywheel early last year amongst one or two other modifications .

I believe the price was about £300ish less than a garage would be. You'd be mad to go anywhere else IMO. He also guarantee's his work.

 

lets do a deal then russell.

 

Russell is going to be fitting my Gearbox, Clutch and flywheel along with a few other bits, I wont use anyone else,

 

Mark/ Ross/ Duncan - OK, OK bigger discounts in the future then!



Russell

 

update/brain wave

took the scoob to the stealers in east tullos. guys gave me a quote of £450 not incl vat for fixing the speedo drive from the gearbox. (12 hour job he said).

am a thinking about just buying a reconditioned gearbox to fit if cheaper.

and i still need my clutch cx'd

 

been paid today, so i boned the stealers up in aberdeen again.

£700 + vat for new clutch and flywheel.

 

ok, wallace performance will do it for 400 ish.

i have heard mixed opinions about them but surely they have had a lot of practice by now.

and i have added these prices as a guide for anyone else with similar problems.

 

I take it you weren't able to do a deal with Russell?

 

i would definitely not recommend wallace
martin

 

russell didnt get back to me, from my message above.

yes, but surely wallace have had enough little neds with scoobs in so they must know the car.

 

It would be worth waiting for Russell, He is away for 3 weeks working, should be booked in with him for the same job when he gets back

 

thanks for the info guys, i wont clutter the boeard too much now. waiting for russell to get back.

 

Assumed this meant you were going to PM me and ask about booking it in - I've been abroad in the USA and Asia so only had 2 weeks at home in the past 14!

PM me if you want it done and I'll do it for the same costs and I quoted before (425). I can get it done this time home (if you want me to do it)....after doing DuncATR's, Power Junkie's, Ac!d's and Martins.

Somewhere in the first 3 weeks of November be OK for you?

Russell

ps - 400-ish (including VAT?) from Wallace is a good price if they are installing an Exedy STi clutch kit!

 

thanks again for info guys.

off to pick up the scoob later after putting it in wednesday for new clutch.
(they had to replace some cap which holds in the clutch or summat like that)

total cost £548

i hope they have skimmed the flywheel, or al be looking for a new clutch again in a short whiley.

 

548! - Shame you couldn't wait then isn't it?

At that money, I'd hope they did skim the flywheel!

Russell

 

And thats why we wait for you Russell we know it will be done!

 

^^Ditto^^

 

yes, i hope you werent offended by my decision, when i want things done, i want it now.

anyway flywheel wasnt skimmed, apparently it was still in good nic.
had a paddle clutch fitted, but in traffic its not practical for me.

gearbox or new zorst next.

 

No offence taken M8, it's your car and you need to do what you feel is right.

I'm more than busy for the next few trips at home judging by the PM's and emails I've been getting out here!

Russell

ps Boyakasha is trying to jump the queue on you guys, you'll need to teach him some respect at the next monthly meet :P

 

That's what they all say. I wouldn't put a new clutch on an old, unskimmed flywheel....asking for trouble in about 5000 miles time tbh.

Hope it ends up being OK for you.

Russell
