Got my new clutch from the factory earlier in the week and had a test run Wednesday evening. Awesome!

To be able to use more than 4k revs makes a world of difference to the car's performance.

I still have a few bits I am not happy with. Door locks (thinking of changing to electric popers), suspension set-up (which I hope to sort on Monday), engine set-up.... mainly tick-over issues (I want a few more miles one the engine before it gets thrashed on a rolling road).

I hope to take some arty-farty photos soon (still need new laptop before I can post) so that you can all criticise my efforts.

FYI running a car on a rolling road is far more easy on it than driving it!

Hi , glad your clutch is sorted , but yep i would agree that running on a rolling road is no more stressfull than road use , and your engine is being monitored all through the revs , i bet on the road at 4500 revs in say 3rd gear ya cant here if the cars pinking ??? just a thought idea
