I can't stand the standard plate as it seems massive :( The new plate hardly covers any of the fmic :nod:

It looks cracking Chris.
I likey :D
New plate is deffo better. The old one looked **** :wack:
I'll have a look around tonight for you Chris regarding the shoes when I get home, then send you a PM:thumbs:
Looking good mate,
The Plate you have is a Large Import, for a front bumper you need a Small Import to properly fit the front recess of the front bumper :wack: Then you will like it :thumbs:
Have you chopped the top off that Crouchy?
I think DVLA say there must be a 15mm gap between the font and edge???
Youre such a rebel.
:wack:
That's how it was when i got it, halfords FTW!
Looks better Chris - did you get it locally ?
Thats more like it mate,looking good the your car was itching for that type of plate
Few little updates
At japfest I picked up my new flywheel off of slider200 which had been lightened and balanced by apt iirc :cool: It had been used since the work so while it was out we took the opportunity to give it a quick skim :)

I also managed to get an ACT heavy duty organic clutch for a bargain price from a mate in the trade (Cheers buddy :thumbs:) which came with everything you need including an alignment tool, It was then fitted by a local garage for the extremely reasonable rate of £80 :D
All in the clutch kit and fitting cost me pretty the same as what most places charge for just the clutch on it's own which is a result :D
Clutch kit as it arrived

Parked outside the local garage next to another 14a they were working on :D

The clutch itself is brilliant. The pedal feels like the oem one did and if anything is a little lighter than my old Exeedy organic was. So far it's taking everything I throw at it as well without even a hint of slip :)
I've also treated the car to a new set of mats as the old ones were well past their best

Think they look spot on for cheap ebay mats :nod:
Couple of pics for the hell of it :D

Looks like the spray wax is doing it's job :nod:
Billy bargain! Had an ACT on an old car and it was excellent :thumbs:
where did you get the mats mate? fancy a new set
Mats look Gd mate, I think I'll get a set myself,
Ur a step ahead of me with the clutch, I have mine and a new flywheel but not fitted yet!
How does it feel now?
It feels quick again :nod: Must of been slipping more than I realised :wack: The clutch feel and bite is lovely also and seems perfect for every day use :nod:
I'm only running 1.2 bar as well so may up that before the rolling road day this month :cool:
Good stuff! Keep us posted with that power graph.
Have those mats got the holes in to mount on the floor to stop them moving around Chris?
No :( Not sure what others are like but in my car only the drivers mat is secured and thats by a single mount in the middle of the mat by the seat. I used a stanly knife to cut a hole and it seems fine :nod:
It was the southwest rolling road today so my car found it on the rollers once again. The results were a little better than last time but only by 15bhp :wack:
I really need to pressure test the sistem to check for leaks and up the boost from 1.1(ghey) to 1.4 bar :nod: When the ebc got set up I was told it was running 1.3 bar but I guess they told me some porky pies :wack:
Any way here are the graphs

Looks like I should see a fair few bhp from raising the boost by .3 bar so all is not lost :)
Few more pics from the day
