Have you used the same release bearing every time? or tried different ones? Not entirely sure how ride height can bother the clutch?

I've used new ones each time but they all seem to be the same brand, and each time they've been changed there still like new :/
i know that what i thought, to me it shouldn't matter because between the clutch and driveshafts is a diff and gearbox lol

well looks like i better start saving, hopefully the competition kit will fit my car :)
Other jobs il do whilst shes off the road again is to space the rear wheels and slightly roll the arches so the lip inside doesnt rub the tires.
I'm also thinking of changing the exhaust to more of a bosozoku style :P something like this: whats your opinions?

I'l keep the HKS thats on there if i do decide to make one as there starting to get quite rare so maybe worth a bit in years to come. i might even get some like 6ft pipe to attach to the end for car meets n that haha :lol:

Sorry to hear about the clutch going again.
Did you have all the missing bolts replaced and the stiffeners between the gearbox and engine sorted out/fitted this time round?

Car looks great, though I'm not a fan of the bonnet lifters or the bazooka style exhaust myself, either...

Yeah would be for show, but i was thinking having them about a foot in the air normally with a couple of 6ft extensions for shows :P

I know this is bad, a bit fast n furious but ive notices neons have been coming back on a big scale.
I'm now undecided on a set of blue or yellow neons :lol: 8-) but that'll probably bit a bit rice imo :/

All thats needed are the 2 bolts for the front, i cant seem to find them and on diagrams it doesnt make it clear what size they are or anything :/

The other stiffeners have been put back on so thats now all good :)
