glrnet Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd be interested to hear your thoughts regarding the clutch and flywheel combo when it's bedded in Arran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 From what I can tell so far the clutch bites a bit harder which is nice for fast changes and the flywheel makes a world of difference. It revs so quick now and picks up so fast in the lower gears especially 2nd and 3rd but all gears are faster to pickup which feels great when moving as the Z hides its weight well I find. Not that its to heavy imo but when they've bedded in properly and I can go for a serious drive il report back with more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks mate, I'll look forward to that. Much flywheel chatter/rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 It does sound a bit like a broken washing machine when in a high gear under a lot of load but its not that loud, at idle there's no difference to stock. After 2200rpm its all normal and very fast revs from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 How much does a average garage charge to do clutch, mine hasent gone yet but I want to know how much it will cost me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Arran has good mates who fit stuff for free (or silly mates )...haha and yeah these manifolds are easy to do with the engine in situ if the gearbox is off only takes one hours wip the gearbox, clutch and flywheel out. You do need to press the new release bearing in you just need the wright tools. Arran,car is looking and sounding the part now!! P.S you owe me a drink Arran for fitting these parts!!!!!!HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 So another christmas has done the rounds, the mrs and myself went halves on some genuine facelift led rear lights as one of my presents. Ive been wanting them for ages as they just update the car so much aswell as being ALOT brighter so a safety aspect aswell. Took 10 minutes to fit them nice easy access The brake lights are soooo bright trying to get a picture just makes the camera go funny will try at night from far away next time Next up is a Motordyne XYZ pipe with resonator thats on order with Tarmac that will see the exhaust system finally complete!, after that i really need to get myself down to the Z shed so i can get the rca mod done on the stereo. Still need to fit the oil cooler and rocker covers but tha will be done in january, after that its just finishing the car off really, need to get the map tweaked for all the new mods and a few small cosmetic things like gloss black door handles and going to do the headlining in alcantara Cheers for reading all, til the next time Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Makes such a difference, well worth the ££££. Crystal fog lamp perhaps to clean it up nicely??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Cheers lads, definitely worth the money. Id love crytsal fogs and indicators but they are like 95 quid! Cant be paying that for two small units LED rear lights look the dogs danglies. I did hear that the rear lamp assembly (where the indicator & fog light are) could be modified ~ basically along the lines of you remove it and heat it up allowing you to separate the red plastic fog lens from the clear plastic lamp assembly. Then you just fit a red bulb in place to keep it as a fog light. Giving you a nice clear lens assembly the same as the passenger side. Maybe worth looking into if your interested. (possibly in the guides section?!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 best mod out there for me......not so sure on the boot 'z' badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Il have a look into the rear indicators, see whats about and how it can be done. Buster, it looks alot better in person pictures dont do it justice. Alot more colour and depth in reality camera cant really get hold off. Its different to the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
