one word man : LOCTITE!!


I hear ya dude! i never used it last time when i had the flywheel off this is going back roughly 2 years ago now... But still came back to haunt me :x

Getting a carbon ceramic clutch (stage 2) and my flywheel is stock but lightend and balanced, a proper light weight flywheel is the perfect oppertunity but sadly funds won't allow :?

@ Asianrob: None at all just bolt on, dosent hug the corners as good as on a 4 door but looks fine!

@ austenjanzen: cheers dude means alot! That unit isent a turbo timer its a feilds vtec controller, i dont use it to controll vtec though i more use like an Apexi RSM cause it reads out speed and RPM in digital and has a very handy shift beeper so i dont hit the rev limit, just gadget for show kind of thing is all :thumb:

@ elrompetoto: No problem at all man! Only tip from what i have had to work with is use the fiber glass filler rather than mixing resign and strips of the fiber glass as the filler is stronger and much easyer and cleaner to use. Also rather than jump in and attack the bumper cutting it up measure and mark areas to cut and mirror tham the other side as its very easy to have one moulding sitting higher than the other and the likes you know, its a real take your time job to get it right as possible
