will have to find the reciept but think it was just shy of £300  :sick:

next up is dampers, which don't really damp much anymore, have my eye on some billy b4's to go with the eibach springs

hoping i can put the clutch off for a while after seeing the cost of the sachs performance ones  :shocked: it seems to be manageable atm! Basically it just means there's a certain hill on my way to work i can't overtake up anymore.

But if the clutch gets changed it would be rude not to remap it  :evil:

new front assembly-


goes here-


air con needs regassing now  :angry:

No point buying a sachs performance clutch if your only going for a remap. my standard clutch last over 70k after having my car mapped and died at 144k.

I still got my sfs kit sat here waiting to go on...... Might do it next year sometime :lipsrsealed: :grin:

I paid £325 for a sachs clutch kit and sachs flywheel.

Its not needed, especially at the price they charge for them now :sick: Its needed if you're going hybrid but not for just a map
