that Gunson Eezibleed setup looks very good, post back your thoughts on this, will have a look at a few reveiw vids i have seen on this as well.

just had the front discs done and pads the brake system was bleed at the front and Paige Brake fluid was used but one of them vacuum bleeders were also used and it did not just take the line fluid out , rears will be done when needed.

aint that for a 1.8t powered car? with half your torque?

just buy a stock sachs dmf and uprated sachs disc and cover. unless your not keeping the car.

Clutch gave up last week so today we removed the Gearbox (Loads of fun) to find the friction plate was in good condition!

went through 3 of them. the second one was even sent off to be rebuilt with stronger pins etc, but only lasted 14 months. the 3rd box I got second hand then sold the car on as I'd had enough. Using 3 different dyno's my lowest torque reading was 365lbft and highest was 385lbft. Which is at the top end of what my setup can produce. I've been told the 6 speed aint that strong.
