It would appear that the car has previously had a G60 flywheel & VR6 clutch fitted. I found an invoice earlier for:

'Uprated/modified clutch and flywheel set - £590.39'

The clutch is considerably lighter than the clutch on my Mk3, I remember speaking to Wayne a while ago when I was first looking at Mk4's and he told me the clutch should be heavier than the Mk3. This would suggest the above set up has been fitted....anyone else car to confirm/deny this?

Obviously I know that there is no real way of knowing without actually looking, which I have no intention of doing :grin:
