Just an update after 700k's. The clutch and flywheel setup rattles like a tractor at idle. Personally i'll be able to live with it. It is very good to have the upper revs going to the wheels(not just to clutch slip). Traffic driving is a bit frustrating but less then when it was first installed. Brakes are great. Haven't given them much abuse yet though. On an appearance update the front indicators are now orange. No photos because who really cares Newest problem to add to the cars personality is the starter solenoid is acting up. On a side note i've just started at wintec's motorsport course. So hopefully big changes to this project will be on there way - this is if i can decide what I want to do to it Edit: After fixing the intake leak the flywheel is a lot more quiet at idle. The clutch and flywheel setup is still quite difficult to drive in traffic. Rev matching is a must during spirited driving

If you can find some steel bands in 17 i think steel surgeon can make whatever(15' or 16') 5x120 faces fit. Those schnitzers wouldn't do this justice. Big concave or dish is my vote

Widened steelies painted white. Shot with shotgun in barrel of wheel and left to rust. All preferably in 16's. Oh and raise the back a bit Just an opinion

Looking for a zf in any condition. I would like to have a go at rebuilding it or if it is in better condition then mine, then i'll give them a trade and try rebuild mine. Also looking for an engine to have a tinker with. Would be nice to have most of the accessories with the engine but not a problem if they aren't available. Like everyone i'd prefer to pay as little as possible for the best product possible. Just trying to see what's out there and at what price

Is there something special about uk imports?

When you use the m20 flywheel behind the m50, you have to gut the m50 starter and put the m20 starter gear bits inside it. Think I saw a complete step by step write up on rev

The wheels suit the car well. I'd leave them.
