Did the bracket to hold the clock cluster, rear fog and hazard light switches came out alright. Also got 1 bucket seat on the way this week that will take some fettling to fit will seee..
Without going bonkers. 195ish is about the limit. Any more your looking at pretty steep build. Raising compression. Various degrees of headwork.
Any one who claims to have 220hp without serious mods has been on a very generous maybe manipulated dyno.
It's not too bad to do. Takes me about 4 hours on axle stands. One in one out.
Give yourself a whole day first time. Should get it done. Only nuts and bolts hey.
Exedy make good value replacement clutches.
Like krzys says, probably best sticking with oem a they seem to go on forever (even when they're literally falling to bits)
@KiNK43 is your man for info on gearbox / clutch shebangs.
I would say just an OEM or OE clutch will do. Gearbox off but you don't need to take the engine out.
I would imagine you could do it on your own in a single day. I don't believe you need any special tools.
Why have I only just seen your build thread!? Dude your MB is awesome! loving the Rota Slips, good choice.
Seriously need to get my car machine polished like that & detailed.....everybody is putting me to shame.
