pics of your car look awesome Ben...I cant wait to see it in the flesh..you seem like a bit of a perfectionist, much like myself..however i have a bit to go on mine yet. i did meet Gary(Refined Relextions) the other day - his work is mind blowing.. i will be getting mine detailed like yours as soon as the practical stuff is out the way

Having Gary out on your car is worth every penny, my paint was a bit swirly before he did it ... now lovely .. did you see the pics on Gary's site?.

I will have the car resprayed in the next year or so as I still have some niggling little tiny stone chips on the bonnet, but i'm getting there.

Next main task for me is finding a wheel refurbisher who can guarantee they can do a polished lip that will last .. got a quote yesterday from a company in london so may look further into that.

Yes, I've scoured the local vicinity, I've used a few of the local guys but alas no-one can either do my wheels and rims or if they can will be prepared to say they'll last more than 5 mins.

I had a set done on my previous car - within a 3 months the corrosion had started.

there is a place that does alloys in wroxham?

i went there a couple of years ago with two bent rims and wanted them all resprayed.

i could pick almost any colour i liked and the repairs and re-balanced for

I've used the guy in wroxham .. ok for plain colours .. but can't do anything fancy - he did my wheels on my golf .. twice .. and should cost no more than

Ok, finally got a pic of my new harnesses ...

The drag night has now got me requiring a new Clutch .. well a better clutch as the exedy single just isn't up for the launch.

Yes Ben,
I have a single Exedy in Mine and it is dead too, but it has lasted three years of fairly hard driving at circa 350 bhp and a some 1/4 mile/0-60 (12.76 and 3.95) runs so should be ok with the power you have.
Will you let me try it compared to mine mate.
Perhaps i can help you with your technique.
Eddy

My clutch has only done 2000 miles but it's never been right from day one - I went back to abbey who fitted it, they said it was fine - BUT - it was not a good clutch for launching, they said 3/4 launches and it will be dead.

I only went for the single as I didn't have the pennies at the time for a twin.

I'll get Gary to sort me out in the next few months with either an exedy twin or fixing my old OS-Giken rattle monster

... and maybe go for a nismo slave at the same time ...

I could launch fine on the OS-Giken, there was no slippage at all - except it failed after doing 5 Qtr's back to back.
