I'd say its a half hour easy enough job to remove a...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Clutch replacement - which one?

hey mate If i were you, I'd definitly go with the exedy stage 2. The reason I say that is because I made the mistake of not respecting my first clutch in my v6 even though, like you, I was only interested in the occasional fast road/track action. But its that 10% fun that kills the clutch prematurel...

Re: Correcting a spin / tailslide anyone managed it?

Think there is a huge difference in the way the car reacts if the back end slides out in the wet or the dry... I ran my v6 with a proper 1.5 way cusco type mz lsd round the oval at crail and for the first 2 hours, the track was soaking and it was utterly impossible to hold a tailslide...the back end...

do i have rare optional extra recaros?

hey! I bought a set of Recaros off here last year and were told they were a rare optional extra on the rev 4's or japanese cars. Did some reading and can't find any record/evidence this is true. Mine are this style(these arent mine): http://www.grahamberry2.co.jp/stock/e828_95_lancer_evolution3_tein...
