Thanks for the various replies, I now ordered a Exedy 5 paddle sprung kit from Driftworks for a CA18DET (hope it fits!!), they reckon it will happily deal with the abuse! I'll post on how it does!!

Some people have suggested lightening the flywheel, is this worth the hassle when I don't really know what I am doing anyway?!? Or should I just leave it as is?

i would get it lightened and balanced, plus have it skimmed, you will get better response and its always best having the sufaces skimmed.

Thanks for the reply, not what I wanted to hear but if thats the best thing to do.

Has anyone got one for sale?

Cheers
Simon

Got the new clutch on yesterday, getting the damn gearbox back on was a ballache!! It feels great, I'm going to put the boost back up at the weekend and see what happens but for now it runs great, nice to have it back on the road. I left the flywheel as it was as it looked in good condition and couldn't be arsed to have it off the road any longer!
