Hi Grizzly,

Yes it works fine no slip or any other probs just the noise. I could not tell you anything about the clutch as i have just got the car and all i have managed to do with her so far is put my foot down and smile alot. Oh yes i dont know if this will help but the biting point on the clutch is instant its either on or off not alot of pedal movement needed from floor up.

Cheers Garith.

Well is you get five jack it up (don\'t forget Axle stands) then remove the Inspection plate of the bottom of the gear box, You will be able to see the Clutch (if its got a Painted presure plate or has two Friction Disks you\'ll proberly find its Uprated) but if its a single and the Pressure Plate looks like a Steel colour/Galvanized (SP) then its most likely Stock.

You just need to run it a Bit and see how it goies when you have a few miles on it.

here you go buddy, i didnt realise that my mate actually spent a bit of time pollishing. it aint quite mirror finish yet, but it is dam close. another 15 mins polishing and it would be there.

p.s this pic doesnt do it any justice, its is a lot more pollished than it looks.

I\'d get it over to one of the tuners just for a proper check over and so you can mention these little problems

Hi probedb,

Yes thanks i have E-mailed re worx and i will phone them in the morning to try and book it in. But at the moment i am spending more of my energy on getting it booked in for a MOT so i can register her just got new tyres on her HOPEFULLY that is all the work done now so should be sending registration off some time next week.

Cheers Garith.

Hi All,

I have now been a member since October the same time as i have had my ReX. Since joining i have managed to make a few friends and alot of people willing to go out of their way to help. It has been great also in that time i have been doing bits and pieces to my car. I have done all the Pre MOT work to turn this car into a UK legal car. I am pleased to say that on Friday 17 Nov My car passed the MOT so now all guns blazing to register her. Which in itself is a major struggle (STILL CANT FIND ENGINE NUMBER). I have also managed to buy a few pieces a Front upper strut brace of off D1 WTF (Thanks & look forward to receive it) I have just fitted a Issota Senso Steering wheel with Alluminium Boss Hks Type 1 Turbo Timer. THE EXTIORER, I have removed the remanants of the bumper and i am in the process of buying a TYPE R bumper to replace, I have removed the wing to remove dent. I have also started work for under the bonnet, I brought a spare Plenium and started polishing it(See Pic) nearly done. Next i will start polishing alternator. I think that is all for now sorry for boring you with all my news.

MORE TO FOLLOW.

Cheers Garith.
