You're going to spend more on mods than the actual repair at this rate

No I wont be at JAE mate, since Gaz has just told me that mu clutch will last about another fortnight!

So guess what!, ive bought one of those RPS Street Clutches from him

Plus the Nur Spec doesnt turn up till Thursday so hopefullly i`ll be able to go in next Sat, get a go in Kev`s Supe, inspect my car, and test drive it then hand over ?5040 for the work.

Will eventually get it back.

Carl

@ Cuthbert...

The reason the piston was travelling to high was the Big End Bearing had gone on it!... mint!!
