my experiance at having a few new bits fitted at walkinshaw
Discussion
id just like to give a thumbs up to walkinshaw performance this week as iv had one of their secondhand superchargers fitted a big thumbs up for that l like the perfomance that gives now and i also had them fit a perfomance clutch and flywheel what can a say 150% improvement on the old one a much nicer car to drive now its lighter smoother to pull away and seems to have cured the problem with the old one that seemed to over heat as soon as you drove the car hard ,all i need to do now is sort out the clunky backlash in the diff and ill be happy
yes it was my ro so your the one who had the other secondhand sc ,about the clutch well all i can say is its much better the only small thing is when you start the engine it makes a short squeel noise where its bedding in at the moment but they said it should pass once its run in ,i can keep you posted on that if youd like me too
Long story, but just had to be done. I knew that I shouldn't have gone to their open day!
Love to know how you get on with the clutch.
My clutch has only done 7000ish, and is smooth to use. Walkinshaw (quite fairly) wont say 'yes I need one/no I wont'- depends on how I drive it. Have talked to Roger (the big fish), and he basically agrees, saying that its fine in some cars but not in others.....lets see how it goes!
Ps how much quicker is yours and how much more grunt??? Got to wait a week to get it back, as I can't get there before next Saturday. Need to get my engine cover done like JamieP in the not too distant future as I think his looks the biz. Downside is that I'm going to Santa Pod on Sunday in the Nissan Patrol. Fairly safe to say it WONT be going down the strip!

It's back home! Whilst I haven't done any burnouts, the clutch seems ok. Special thanks to Tessa for sorting me out and getting the mechanic to check for suspect heater hoses!
Well impressed that charger doesn't whine except under load, never having had one before, (and only having really driven one under acceleration before, I thought that they whined all of the time. Over the moon that I can still hear the V8 rumble for most of the time, so I've got the best of both worlds!
Ps. If anyone want a set of 19" alloys, they have some sets there at a good price. I was well tempted but I suppose common sense prevailed...
