Robs 2g BA1 prelude

[Rob_Cool1]

yeah probably my fault for buying such a cheap kit, a grand total of £5 cos the guy wanted it gone. i cant remember the brand but when i looked they were going for like £50 ish. thats why i want to get something like an exedy (dont they sometimes have problems with breaking) or another decent branded one, does anyone have any suggestions?

Certainly have to admire your determination to succeed with this car. Most would have slapped it on eBay ages ago!

I've spent too much money on her and i love it too much to get rid, she'll get there eventually. one of those never ending projects

has anyone bought a panther torque performance clutch, i was looking at the stage 1 kits but have no idea what there like, and their a bit more expensive than the others :/

Not heard bad things about exedy clutches.
Competition Clutch are on the forum, could drop them a line and see if they do one for your car?
Merlin seems happy with his.

Apart from the release bearing.

Rob, do you know your car is on the front page of JAE's website?

Just seen that
(I think it looks better with the gold wheels it has now, btw...)

Sweet, so exedy clutch ordered, New cable is put in so hopefully when it's all back together that should be that sorted lol. Ive also bought the new mirrors so when they turn up that will be changed, still unsure if I want both on though :/

What's their site, the mobile one doesn't have any cars on there yeah I prefer the gold wheels, might get some klutch sl1's 16x8 et 15, which I put a pic up on this thread a while ago but get the black spokes sprayed gold same as the rotas 3 inch lip will look insane haha

I've just been offered a new job too that starts in September at xtrac making racing gearboxes so il be moving up to Newbury if anyone on here lives nearby ?

At least things are looking up haha

looking HOT though!

lol not been posting recently sorry guys. fitted the new clutch and cable and all was well for a few weeks :/ seems the clutch went again the other day. same thing as before. although i did move it today and although it was a bit rattly and the pedal was high, it drove ok :S has a mind of its own!! im gana call exedy in the morning and see how to get a new one under warranty but im gana give it a go driving round the block and see how it feels.

Fitted the mirrors though and they look really good

I'm having serious thoughts about selling her on and getting a more sensible car, especially when i start my new job i need a car that can get me to work and back with no issues, that and i wont have as much spare cash each month to spend on her. i really dont want too but i duno what else i can do

anyway here are a couple of pics with the new mirrors

Looks cool
Well done man.

What on earth can keep going wrong with the clutch?! I don't get it...

[Rob_Cool1]

Could the flywheel be warped? Duno if you can get them skimmed cos I can't find a other one anywhere :/ Benny said that when he put an exedy clutch in it it only lasted like 15 miles then blew up so Duno if the kit itself is at fault :/

I'm gana give it a drive in a bit then il write what happens lol
