Tint is cheap on ebay mate and not rocket science to fit laserwindowtintinginstructionshalf
Haven't tried the rear window yet though but i've asked and read about and it seems to be around the 100quid area.

i think most people replace the fly wheel when doing a clutch becaus 90% of the time the flywheel gets damaged when a clutch is going or gone the ideal time for a lightened 1 i had to do mine

hope that helps andy

My understanding is the flywheel can be reused but may require a quick skim but if your having the thing out you may aswell replace with a lightened one.

An Exedy uprated clutch from David @ API will handle that power and similar torque, he does a very good price on both the clutch and lightened flywheel.

Don't go for cheap tyres, it's all that connects you to the road!!!! personnaly I would only go for one of the following brands/models:

Goodyear - F1's
Continentle - contact 2 or 3
Mitchelin - pilot sport
Vredestein - Ultrac Sessanta

All of these can be had from Mytyres or most from camskill, both are mail order and most tyre fitters will fit for you around £10 a tyre

www.falkentyres.co.uk

215/40/17 87W (XL) ZE912£60.58 EACH
Brand New 215/40/17 87W (XL) Falken ZE912 Tyres.

These are replacing the FK452. Try garth Auto and Tyres. They have Scoob's and are owners of Scoob Rally Cars and supply Falken. They did a good deal on my Leggy, all corners on 225/40/18 for 300 of the finest, fitted. Don't wash your car before you go.
