cool parts mate. I was at the weekender and won the EPracing goodie bag (need to sell some bits from it actually).

Hope problem is a easy fix for you..

Cheers mate, coming along now! didnt win a carbon centre console surround did you by any chance :wave:

Hopefully its the release bearing, then S14 clutch kit and driftworks lightened flywheel kit will be bought

Still un-decided whether to go for Exedy Organic or ACT HD

 

[NathF]

So Jason's gearbox crapped itself and now possibly yours (hopefully not box). Looks like it's me next then lol
The new parts look spot on? That downpipe for sale yet?

Sorry mate no centre console

I was looking for the ACT HD clutch but the Exedy was coming in a lot cheaper so went with that, been spot for a few years now..

DO I KNOW YOU

Yeah it might be the same thing (input shaft bearing) due to the circlip wearing Tbh the circlip modded quaife uprated box Garage D sell is only £450 with a box exchange so either way nothing major

BUY YOUR OWN DOWNPIPE :rotfl:

ACT seems to be the way im swaying at the moment, once the problems is diagnosed monday i can sort out a clutch/box

Good news came of yesterday, its only a clutch replacement what needs doing as the release bearing has damaged the pressure plate, no wonder i have no clutch feeling at all!

Also coilovers on, de-wipered

Keep the faith. Its a great looking car. Plus there's no near replacement that will give you the driving experience, attention or appreciation that a 15 does.

Thanks dude, even though when spoilerless it looks like a 406 i love it! Once i fit all the parts for 1a plus the supermade & dmax spoilers i will have a huge smile on my face

More/too many updates!

After/ever since i change the suspension setup, the car drove horribly so light on the front, so looked into it. Found the problem as the alignment was miles out.

So bought full driftworks arms kit and had that fitted along with full alignment for fast road driving by Drift Street Import (recommend these guys)

Alignment time by LiamB91, on Flickr

Then it was time to get the car clutch problem sorted so the car went back into Drift Street Imports last week for alot of work

very cool, some nice additions

 

[pegliobaglio]

Awesome update buddy! Love the xd's , still one of my favourite wheels (maybe a little biased) how is the car feeling now? Best thing you can ever do to these cars is have a proper allignment session. Couldn't believe the difference when I fitted adjustable arm kit with my 1.5 way and had it properly set up.

does this mean your old wheels are for sale

does this mean your old wheels are for sale

The volks are indeed now for sale, 17 x 8 & 17 x 9, good Khumos all round £500 (will throw in some shank nuts which you need to run with them)

 

[Clarkey]

Hmm, odd request now but what is the inside diameter on the front wheels? Need wheels that will clear my CTS-V callipers, these could work.

What do you mean inside diameter, of the whole wheel?

Crude drawing but this measurement

Need 390mm at least to clear my calipers.

Yours looks so good on the 18s, if only I didn't have stacks of new AD08r in 17" I would just go to 18", it's hard to make 17s look good on a 15 :/

XD9's look sweet Liam
