I have to admit - That's why I don't drive mine in traffic if I can help it! - I have the 5 plate Exedy paddle, and it's awful for traffic driving - I can literally feel the abuse to the clutch! )

Still, they transmit really well, so I'd not go back to normal if I can help it.... ...having said that, I think that a lot of my pulling away problems are from the gearing being very long in conjunction with the Z31 diff's final drive (i.e. 55-60mph in first, 100-ish in second, 135-ish in third), etc... great for top speed, but awful for pull-off!)...

Still, I'll be able to comment on this fully once my car has been "S13Eater'd", as he's kindly sorting me out a reconditioned master clutch cylinder, as mine if leaking (The slave cylinder was originally leaking, so I doubt the clutch has ever been running 100% as of yet (was slipping like an absolute b*stard at JAE, before Pukka and Shaun bled it, which fixed it temporarily)... - Once again, cheers guys!
