Maybe we should have weighted it, should we get it back out and check the weight

Probably the prettyest way to blow £1k :eek::cry:
Nice clutch, I've got the same in the Peugeot and its properly vicious, are you converting to a hydraulic clutch ?
PS Things are moving in the tie bar department, I'll be in touch soon hopefully.
At the moment no mate because the pedal box I'm running is cable but if it's cheaper to go that route ( the bearing from hockley from cable is £250) then I'll go the better route.Quote:

Yeh I see what you mean, sadly its not a cheap conversion but personally well worth it
As to the question of tie bars, LOL things are progressing, I'll leave it at that ha ha
That £250 is just for the cable type bearing mate I'm going to look at my pedal see if it can be modified lol then take it from there is it hard to convert to hydraulic??Quote:

I'll look into it at work all I'm remember is ap said something about a 44mm bearingQuote:

P.S leave it on the kitchen table, taking it down the garage will probably end up with it being damaged like 90% of the things that get taken down there :(
Well you should watch where your putting those big clod feet of yours xQuote:

If not buy a new one for about £90, the part number is CSC007 for a QH or Equiv is MSC007 for the C20XE.
When you do get round to doing the pedal box, you want a 0.75 master cylinder. Be careful when bleeding & welding in something to limit the clutch pedal travel as if you let it go too much you will burst the slave cylinder; gearbox off again & another £90... Lee303 & the Topgear boffins that built the green MK2 escort 2L for Clarksons track day fell into this trap.
Best way is to have someone under the car watching it push as you gradually depress the pedal, then when it reaches full travel, mark where the pedal is to weld in some sort of physical stop.
Cheers mate in theroy that's what I'm trying to achieve, but I know at this level forever is never and everything Is consumable. I'm looking at following the hydraulic route steveboyslim is being kind enough to look into clutch centres etc. But thanks for the info that's a great start for me. Cheers :thumb:Quote:

275 BHP from 8,000rpm?
Its not 275hp and I also think they probably did rev it slightly harder than that at some point.Quote:

It revs to 8300 mate the 275 is looking unlikely on the normal fuel. on the 3rd vid it looks like it hit 261 but im not sure. im realisiticly expecting around 255-260bhp but thats still a good acheivement i think.Quote:

Hi mike thanks I know what you mean I'm desperate to get it on the road. Realisticly I'm looking to squeeze a bit more power (255-260ish) and maybe 195lb ft torque.Quote:

Cheers Gareth
i had 190bhp in my xe on jenveys and that was good enough for me, so that extra bhp will be just the ticket!! i saw all your engine bits in the boot of steves car at the start of the summer!! look foward to the end result.
Cheers merris, I'm suprised steve found it all again once it went in the tardis boot of his. I dont know which looked better all the shiny bits separate or the engine as it stands nowQuote:
