[Mk2] [Turbo] Clutch replacement time!!

My clutch has recently started to smell during trips around town involving lots of gear changes etc. plus I now have 76k on the clock so I assume its time for a replacement.
A friend of mine is under the impression that a clutch-out job on the Mk2 is a big one. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Cars been scratched

Thanks for the responses, that dashboard CCTV sounds handy, I'll do a search. We think we know who did it, just got to make sure we know for sure that it was them before we show them the error of their ways. :twisted:

[Mk2] [Generic] Cars been scratched

Some scumbag has scratched my brothers G-Limited twice! :mad: The first scratch appeared a couple of days ago running halfway along the door and down the front wing. Then this morning he found another scratch running from the rear wing and joining the original scratch on the door. The scratches are ...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Why do you own a Mr2 ?

Its simple, every journey is an event. It turns heads like nothing else short of a Ferrari or a Lambo can. Tubbies are rare enough that most people dont know they exist so they shock the owners of far more expensive vehicles with their pace. I'll give you a couple of examples of events that confirme...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Cleaning products

A couple of weeks ago one of my brakes seized which resulted in the passenger side of my car being covered in a layer of red hot brake dust. Having tried to clean the car on saturday I found that the majority of the dust wont come off! I've tried T-Cut but to no avail, anybody know any products that...

Re: Young Be11 end in a Porche Boxster

I can see why people like the prestige brands as the air of quality does make the likes of the MR2 feel a bit tired. The cars are what they are, what they mean to you will depend entirely on what sort of person you are... Totally agree! I think the main difference between the pseudo-upwardly-mobile...

Porsche 928 and Elise

Driving home from work on friday my front brake decided to lock up sending me sliding towards a lorry. Thankfully managed to avoid a collision but the wheel was seized solid. The AA got me back to Bath (200 miles!) and a set of brake pads and some freshly greased sliders later my car was ready for a...

HKS SSQV Dump Valve

Interested in getting one of these, does anybody have any pics of one fitted? I'd like to see where they fit into a REV1/2 engine bay. My Bailey item is in a completely different place to the stock dump valve which has been chucked by one of the previous owners along with all the hoses that were con...

Re: flat spot under hard accelaration
