Yesterday was new clutch day!

(an expensive but happy day)

Went to see a good friend of mine in stoke to abuse his ramp, would have been impossible to do on the side of the road. Also good to have his help on the bit where the box is lifted out, as a well known weakiling...





It wasnt worn down really, but it was very shiny and slippy, so must have had a rather abusive previous owner, the kind who likes to ride the clutch at traffic lights because the handbrake is too much effort...




And last but not least, just a wee vid so i could hear what the thing sounds like from outside the car! A diesel that is raspy, mind blown...

It is VERY smokey, off boost with the fueling switch flipped, but if thats off or after the boost has built up, its really not that bad.




Oh yes, also, as an experiment i cable tied shut my turbo wastegate. It will make 2 bar exactly in full beans mode! Goes VERY well for it too... wonder how much abuse at 2 bar this lump can take...

Oh! I thought i blew a boost hose off too, turned out big boost blew the map sensor pipe instead hahah
