I will get killed if she finds out!

Think you will love the Quaife diff, quite brilliant if you like fun! . The racing clutch is marmite , fabulous on the move, but in traffic you really have to be on your game. Had one fitted at Power, but took it out after a month, the only way some times was to spin the wheels. The A P clutch on the move is just brilliant. The Nitrons take some fine tuning to get them right, if you set them for the track they will throw all over the road on normal driving. Got them on the Sagaris and have backed them off quite a few clicks over the last few months. When I had them on my Tamoras , I had two stage springs fitted to make the car better on the road. Which ever way you go I think FUN is going to with you, enjoy and hope get it sorted, keep us informed.

Cheers :0

I already have the diff and Nitrons fitted (This year I had a full re-trim and new rear screen/roof re done, new suspension, throttle bodies rebushed and the new diff). I do intend to get my Nitrons sorted though, as the ride is way too harsh at the moment. I like the idea of the 2-stage springs.

I had the AP clutch fitted to my first Tamora, I didn't mind it.

If my wife knew the true amount I have spent......

Think a few of us are in that club!!

The bulbs are to put in a torch so you can navigate around the shed cause that's where you'll be sleeping when your wife finds out !

Had to order more or less the same set of parts yesterday... unfortunately out of necessity... it was flatbed time... Pedal went soft then couldnt change gears, clutch is permanently engaged. Got lucky with the AA man as we was ex tvr garage, bled the clutch which brought presssure back to the pedal but no joy getting moving.

Just want to renew the whole thing (original clutch afaik up to now @35k).
I went for the helix clutch kit, slave kit, master cyl, lightweight flywheel, all from the new tvr shop. Ouch... ££££.

Hope I like the flywheel, a bit worried about the learning curve... maybe much easier to stall? and/or watch out for increased engine braking effect catching me out in a lift off situation. Hopefully the pro's outweigh the cons (if there are any) Anyone noticed any of this?

Serg, I've fitted the helix and the RG light weight fly wheel. I haven't found the car any worse to drive in fact the car drives even better. Potentially due to not having a work hardened clutch spring.
Interestingly the RG fly wheel looks to have been lightened further.. but still no issues with it even with the simplex kit.



Even better in the long term is that all of the Helix clutch components can be obtained separately and the clutch rebuilt.

I had an ultra-lightweight flywheel fitted to my wife's little roadster, along with an AP Racing clutch.

Many people told me that it would make the car more difficult in traffic, as it needed to be revved more to avoid stalling.

It didn't make the slightest bit of difference to drivability, and neither of us have ever stalled the car.

I was tempted by the Helix clutch and ultra lightweight flywheel, I have to admit. But ultimately, at this time, I'd rather give Dom the custom, as I very much doubt that the RG package would make that much noticeable difference in the real world.

Yes but its not finished, all I did was undo the bonnet stay from the runner, drilled a hole in the inner wing and the screw at the end of the stay just sits in the hole, I am going to get tidied up when it goes to the body shop

That's as far as the bonnet will open as it hits the oil pipe on top of the catch tank but is an improvement

At the moment I have just put Velcro under the bonnet to hold the stay in place , bit of a bodge at the moment but again I will get body shop to tidy it up

Great idea BNB I'll going to do that befor mine goes in for the paint job
