The SA lads have used concrete before now.
Me and steveboy had this conversation at PVS about speckys engine.

well can my luck get any worse,

recieved my oil restricto for the trubo , drilled it out tho as im running under 80psi so dont need a restrictor according to owen developments,



fitted rad and ic and started it , fired up straight away but the car still had its bad vibration , so turned it of , my mate mark came round so i started it again and he was looking around the engine bay while it was idoling , then band , turned the car of straight away and was greated with this














yes that is the clutch hanging out the box





took the box of this afternoon and this is the damage













all the bolys holding the clutch cover have snaped of , i even used the proper bolts from courtney sport , tourqued up properly but they have all snapoed of

http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/buy-online/shop-by-category/parts/clutch-retaining-bolt-c20let-c20xe/prod_794.html





then dicieded to take the gearbox appart

luckly the diff hasent been damaged as there was a hole in the box right next to it







ended up smashing fuck out of the casing as didnt have a press to take the shafts out





and how the car is left



the car was ment to be going for mapping tomorow but thats not happening now , just hope i can get it back together for totb and mapped, it needs new clutch , flywheel, clutch release bearing and new box, already got a box here but i dont know what its like so going to take it a gearbox place on monday and see if the syncros are ok ,

oh well can it get any worse

you dont do things my half do you
by the looks of the bolt they look like new standard ones.
I would still be calling courtney sport and screaming down the phone saying how can all of them fail.

I'd guess at rivets in pressure plate have failed. Rest is aftermath.
