So the thing has been an issue for a while but as I was looking to sell idnt see the need to fix......Then I got &$&%$@ up by hail and well not in the condition to sell. SO I am going to keep her and put money into it to get it where I want. Clutch will be getting thrashed A LOT in 2012 up north.

I dont know much about the best clutch but see everyone says exedy.

Guess I am just looking to see if a sport or safari is the go and why..

Cheers

Have a look under your car Doggy, It's just a boot cover to stop mud and grime getting in thats all.

Mine actually doesn't look exactly like that picture but It will stick out like Dogs (Dogman)....lol

I did silicone it up Roofy about a year ago. I've had a few drinks tonight so I'm not in the best form to be checking things properly but it did feel loosish so It's possible the silicone has broken down a whisker.

I'll confirm tomorrow!
