Default The time has finally come ....

Well, after much hassle with the car, I have finally managed to source (thanks Bez!) a new front and rear diff....

Problem is - the clutch is likely to go shortly too! So what do you recommend as a good upgrade (Hawk WRX 360/400)?

As the gearbox will be out for the front diff, it makes sense to do the clutch at the same time. Is this something Track Torque will do?? Struggling to find a good fitter in Leeds...

depending on what you have in mind for further modifications,if you are stopping at that power i would go exedy single plate.if your wanting a safeguard against more power i would go for the exedy twin plate.there is an exedy agent in leeds that will supply and fit for you called clutch + gearbox or something like that.tel 01132426359.

Lee I have a lightweight fly wheel and a hi pressure release plate to fit yours, it has only done 50 miles, yes 50 miles the friction plate can be bought from dave @ APi this was very good in mine, and Dave says it is good for 600BHP. easy to use as well.
let me know if your interested,
the price would be right too to you.

Track torque are doing all my work at this point in time, there good.

Stopping 'here' for the time being, but I'm likely to get a forged build at some point, FMIC and uprated gearbox. Will be aiming for 400/450 next year
