What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Made this from existing mount 
and modified this to move forward by 22mm
and strengthened this, though bit overkill TBH as the twin plate clutch is sooo light.

you stickler for detail 
This week's efforts have resulted in roller rockers in and set, revised breather take-off from off side rocker cover (absurdly pleased with this), bigger 42lb Bosch injectors in and fuel map decently rescaled to match (eventually)... now, where did I put those stiffer wastegate springs? 
Changed track wheels to road wheels.
Reset suspension.
Discovered front drop link locating lug sheared off from new tubular wishbones.
Hindsight tells me that the shorter Civic drop links that were offset may have been fine for the ordinairy ARB and road work but with a stiffer ARB and tracking to the limit may have been too much for the setup.
Also, changed both steering column joints as the top one had a tiny bit of play and I can't stand a bit of play!

Front pads were dead so grabbed a pair of 4wd cossie calipers and 2wd disks off of a mate, forgot how annoying doing that little bit of grinding and finding 4 washers exactly the right size is 
Used a pair of Ferrodo ds2500 pads, very impressed by those so far.
Did its 6 month oil change and filter as well, but the only thing that I stopped and took a photo of was this.. I did it whilst waiting to check the oil level for the final time. 5 minutes of entertainment

Its been bugging me... the way TVR designed the coolant temp sender on the bottom of the intake is ridiculous. The sender sits in a stupendously long adapter which then goes into another adapter and then in the intake.
Solution: Drill the last adapter up to 14,5mm. Make new threads like the ones on the sender, 16mmx1,5mm. Use loctite thread sealer (not threadlock) on both the adapter and the sender.
The super long stupid TVR adapter was also full of cooland gunk...
