Exact same clutch I'm going for mate, meant to be bang on! You doing the flywheel at the same time or leaving it? Let me know how it feels when you do itIt gets a new clutch on 30th April. Gone for a Helix Organic clutch after some discussion, and I've asked the guys at VAG Manchester to do the manual clutch tweaks (removing the clutch delay valve and clutch assist spring) at the same time. Not sure on whether I should go for a braided clutch line whilst the work is being done.
No more chocolate clutch!
I've been told to leave the flywheel as there's nothing wrong with the stock one. Need it to be drivable for every day use too, so can't go too 'race car'.Exact same clutch I'm going for mate, meant to be bang on! You doing the flywheel at the same time or leaving it?

You make a good point! Braided clutch line it is!When's the stage 3 you know your going to do it.
As far as I've heard, flywheel only needs doing if it's already slipping but you wont know the condition of it till they open it up... yea I know what you mean, even tho mines only a weekend toy, I dont want it to be horrible to nip around inI've been told to leave the flywheel as there's nothing wrong with the stock one.

I've had no slippage yet and I'm running stage one. But I'm not really pushing the car as I'm trying to preserve the transmission so everything is good when the clutch is upgraded.As far as I've heard, flywheel only needs doing if it's already slipping but you wont know the condition of it till they open it up... yea I know what you mean, even tho mines only a weekend toy, I dont want it to be horrible to nip around in

I am going to Blyton Park track next week with my daughter and its £179 for the two of us to drive on the track all day.
As with all tracks they offer Breakfast, Lunch, Tea / Coffee and helmet hire
Something for you guys to talk about at the national meet, the bit i like about Blyton, its in the midlands, Its a nice small track but lots of fun to drive and if you do private hire they only allow 6 cars on the track at a time so you dont have problems with to many people on the track.
do you pay extra for this or is it included in your policy?Not sure how much this is... but I like to be prepared... this is from my own insurer:

Is this the same one that only lets 6 cars out at a time? Can we specify which cars we want to go out with? Eg, if we did your other option of turning up on a general track day. Could we specify we only want to go out with our own members?

Update, on a normal track day I will fill up at the start of the day and have to fill up again at lunch time but its down to how hard / often you drive the car.
No normal 99 Ron, you can use 100+ but you should have a map that supports it otherwise I dont know how much extra you get out of it
Gutted! You'll be missed! You want to keep the dirtiest car award longer don't you haha see you at the nationals for sure! Can you make the may catch up at the North East auto show?Just had it confirmed that I’m working the weekend of the meet so definitely will not be able to make it
Not happy with some work colleagues who could have helped but it’s the way it is.
Hope you all have a great meet and I’ll be looking forward to catching up again soon.
