Just put the flywheel and clutch on, lapped it on with a bit of fine grinding paste to make sure its a good fit. This unit has an AP racing clutch with a grey diaphragm, which might have to be uprated at a later stage to paddle clutch plate.

Thanks for all the comments guys, good to see people are liking what im doing. I think 149bhp is good power too, but im sure thell be more to come later on.

Drive shafts are in, front brakes are basically finished, gear linkage is nearly done, water pump is on, had a few problems with the alternator touching the slam panel though. Might need an older type alternator.

itching to get it up and running, Carbon bumpers have arrived aswell.

Having trouble finding an alternator to fitbit puzzled at the moment
