Few updates since my last visit.

 

Swapping my front wheels for the face 1 type that will clear brembos. They won't be here until September / October 

 

can't get stuck on the negatives for too long but all those launches led to the inevitable... clutch went. Replaced it with a Competition Clutches Stage 2 organic clutch and lightened flywheel. Still bedding in, but I've done 600kms on it and really happy so far. A few shudders at first, but they have eased with time and kms. Can't wait until I've done 1000kms then i'll have better commentary, but for the time being it's lighter on the leg than OEM but when it engages it bites like a bitey thing.

 

 

old clutch - metal to metal on the flywheel side and the thrust bearing was fk'd!

 

 

new clutch

 

 

5 hours later, on the way home

 

 

 

 

Got my gauges and gauge pod into the foz at last

 

 

 

still to wire in the sensor modules - currently running off the OBDii port

 

 

 

wired up my first 'loom' tonight

 

 

 

 

so it should be tidy when all installed. Cant wait to get all the sensors in and both multi gauges working as they should. it means i can install the rest of these goodies

Hey, just noticed your rear bar, it's clearing your twin tip mufflers easily, custom job or factory/aftermarket bought?

 

Currently seeing how to alter my rear bar to fit STi twin tip mufflers on my SH.

 

Tidy car, black is such a good colour to work with.

Dark Grey Metallic FTW 

 

here are some close up shots of the cut rear bar:

 

 

 

 

 

dremel and a plastic de-burring knife - you wouldn't need to cut it that much for the STi quads though... the invidia are about twice the size...
