OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! Clearly all of you involved in this group buy are extremely lucky people!!! GET IT FITTED ASAP!!!

I fitted mine as soon as I got it (about 12:30am monday), and i've been driving sensibly until today (110 miles later).

The only way to discribe the difference is saying the engine feels so much more free. If you floor it in second or third, the pull is so much more lively.

I can't wait to get my CAI, manifold and decatted exhaust! I know it's gonna make a enormous difference.

Massive massive thanks to Didge for this painless group buy.

And lastly, it took me just under 4.5 hours on my jimmy jones. Physically impossible to do it it 2 hours, unless the brackets that hold the brackets, that holds the mounts to secure the other brackets have been stripped out already!

Yeah, with help on high ramps etc, much easier. I just remember the stupid lip on the clutch plate mine had that stopped it for hours and hours no idea why the gearbox wouldn't fit back on Sad

Flaked, keep being gentle with it, few more miles yet Wink

Thanks for the advice MADMAXX, probably take it easy till I hit 250 miles. Just quickly (to anybody), any recommendations on a good CAI kit?

The splines on the clutch plate, i mean you test fit it on the shaft before putting it together, but just make sure you slide it all the way on Rolling Eyes

i would of discovered the problem before if i had done :*(

Mine arrived today yipee Very Happy

Looking very nice Cool

And I love the japanese cartoons on the back lol, with the clutch and the flywheel being friendly or being unhappy that they'd been dropped Laughing

Just emailing D2M to see how much he has the bolts for Cool

No, um, hard to explin really, you have the entry hole on the clutch plate on both sides of it, the splines on one side of the clutch plate hole were lipped ever so slightly.

Not really visable, but when you tried to push the gearbox shaft all the way through, it would go in one side and stop as it tried to exit the clutch plate hole.
Problem would be when you tried to put it on the shaft backwards (obviously) as it would not slide on over the shaft.

Easily rectified, just so much easier noticing it before you try and re-attach the gear box.
