Drove it to Yorkshire and back this weekend, 530 miles! Just need to get that wheel bearing sorted, and also now have an IC pipe that keeps blowing off!! Grrrr

Hair laquer is good for IC pipes. I presume it's the silicone joiner that's popping off?

Spray with hair laquer (yours r your g/f's

) that helps it to slip on nicely and grips once dry.

Yup, thats what I was gonna try,used to use that for the handle bar grips on my MTB

Think the problem has only occured as now its cold its making more boost! And I have an induction scoop that keeps everything mega cold as well!

You fitted your SD cage yet Gerry??

Is that multi-plate Gerry? I'm putting the STi5 back together with a single organic plate and hoping it will cope with 400hp and 350lbft.

350 lbs ft, is that all......

My girlie ickle VF28 puts out 345lbs ft :!:

That's precisely my thoughts. The nicest looking bit of the car and it'll be hidden away

Twin plate good for 500+ ft/lbs. according to the spec sheet. You may get away with it, My AP organic lasted almost 40K miles with circa 350/350 but then I have considerable mechanical sympathy.

I have a 3 paddle clutch with lightened flywheel, that I decided not to use, if you're interested

Sympathetic in a way similar to that great cuddly bundle of fun that was Attila the Hun :thumb:

What cage did you go for then Gerry?
