just because the FP-DE uses the F word box, doesn't mean it uses the same clutch as the other engines!
why is it so hard to find a clutch for this thing! D:
well thanks for that, I didn't order it anyway I was too scared to commit to it without
knowing 100% that It will fit haha

ok i've decided to just leave the clutch for now..
I'll just replace/upgrade when its shot
was going to be replacing all the radiator hoses/vac hoses and checking the timing belt
over the weekend and was wondering if anyone knew where abouts I can get myself some
colored radiator hoses, samco's or something like that.. I was looking for ages last night and
couldnt seem to find any, apart from some rip offs on ebay for like $300
oh I'm also looking for some ignition leads, one of mine is looking a bit dodgy.. any suggestions for that? :P
thanks

Ok so I've been looking at getting some camber
bolts for when I fit my new wheels (for the rear)
and have been reading some different things and
people reckon these things break or slip? I mean
I don't plan on using the car for track use yet but
I'm still able to "push" the car with these camber bolts
right? I don't have to drive around like a grandma
or anything? :O

If the bolts are torqued up
Properly they shouldn't move at all.

Camber bolts are fine for the street but i wouldn't use them on the track, as they do move over time and with force.

I've been running camber bolts for around 6 months now and I haven't had a problem on the street or on the track. Just make sure they're torqued to specs and you should be fine!

I used whiteline ones. They require FAR LESS torque than you realize. I.e. read the installation instructions.
