never content to just leave it are you??

[alex g]

Always thinking bro.

Stats are in

Fatso dual mass 9.98kg
Lightened single mass 6.2kg
Alloy masterpiece 3.6kg

Makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing in saving the alloy flywheel for n/a power.

One thing to remember, Alex.. Is less flywheel mass= less weight= less load which can sometimes equal less boost in 1st gear.. Making the car sluggish off the mark. I've seen it happen.

had the flywheel resurfaced sorted new hardware and crush washers to fix the turbo coolant leak, and painted polished and cleaned the box n so on.

so going in a little better prepared(downpipe removed and stable mount on the jack for the gearbox)everything seems to be going well, no stratches even, till i tried to mate the splined shaft and the clutch. easy you say i thought so to, but very challenging, ended up using the long alternator bolts in the top two holes in the box and lined it up like that. tried for a good hour or 2 and nothing , i dont know if it was luck or weight transfer but i jacked up the differential area and wholla it slid in.

redid all the banjo washers on the turbo and torqued them so should be good.

then had a look at finishing the new inlet.

Looking awesome!! ...But why don't you spend all this time on your Mk1?! It'll always be way cooler than anything built after 1980
