After reading this, just went out and fitted a new aerial gasket I've had sitting for months.

Nice update

[daz16v]

When I had my belt done I had a choice of belt of gearbox as it was noisy.

I chose belt and the mechanic said another 100 miles and it would of failed as they were cracked badly. I pulled out and did 50 miles and the box went bang!!!

At least you now have piece of mind that it's all done!!!

No not any precautions as such,the car doesn't gain a massive amount of power, so upgrading clutches doesn't really justify the costs, my gearbox has already been replaced (a few years back, by a previous owner) and is fine, changes smooth, and engages fine too.
To be honest I would say get a few other mods just to make it worth while, like exhaust system and a decent closed intake (make sure it's closed other wise heatsoke will ruin your power) I'm mapped at 139.6bhp and it's comparable to Clio 172 cup.
Its alot more easy to drive and the power is noticeably better.
Fuel consumption is a better too, specially with my light footed driving lol
Hope that helps

Finally got myself a BMC fitted it yesturday with a new cold air feed.



Next on the list is to give the bay a clean,paint the rocker cover (possibly just the bits you can see for now),and the manifold heat sheild a coat of satin black.
Since the last post if also had a new radiator and some pressed metal plates off ebay.

Looks very nice mate have you got it feeding from the wing or further down?

[daz16v]

its still feeding from the wing like standard,there is a piece of ducting from the end of the aluminium pipe to the wing

[Godderz23]

Nice man. Makes such a nice sound

[Verity]

looking good!
like the plans satin black heat shields look good.
has your rocker cover's paint been stripped off already? mine really needs to be repainted, but its the stripping the paint part im dreading. so scared of getting nitromours every where
