I am selling it, just not advertised it yet. Im looking for £60. It has the drive plate, clutch cover and release bearing. Very little wear. You can have a look if you want.

[Archer] Woooooo!! [/Archer] The car finally drives perfect now after it's 3rd passenger side driveshaft was installed yesterday 8-) No more juddering on acceleration or during braking. I only had a quick blast before work this moring.

I have mixed emotions about this weekend, I rushed to get the car ready for a sprint event I was competing in this Sunday but its been cancelled last minute :( No matter though as tomorrow afternoon I drive down to Wales to get the engine and bits off Dino :D Woooooo!! :lol:

Nick I would love it to be fitted before the year is out but I know it isnt going to happen. I need to get a new clutch and sort out the M2P4 I have sitting here for it. Mind you I might happen a lot quicker if I strip and punt my H22a7 :D

I've done an engine and box swap in a day on my drive Al, so should be easy enough to do.

Yeah I'm sure the in and out will be straight forward. I have all the fun of trying to wire the knock sensor, getting a 5th gen gearbox to work (VSS issues?), wiring the KM->miles converter, a bit of a wire tuck, new heater bits, and probably other things to sort while the swap is going on.
