Well, I popped down to Brents on Tuesday to have a sniff test done on the head gaskets. As some of you will know, it pushed some coolant out of the expansion tank in Germany and wanted to be 100% sure everything was fine with the engine before spending a load of money on the car.
And the good news is that there's no evidence of a head gasket problem. Its been fine since Germany (including the long drive home) and Brent just thinks it might have been overfilled beforehand.
So.... shopping list time
- Gearbox rebuild.
- Clutch
- Lightened flywheel
- New sump (mine is rusting badly)
- Baffle plate
I might go with an ADL or OEM clutch, as I'm only running less than 300bhp. The current Subaru clutch has done 92,000 miles and still works fine so can't be bad
I've also heard of judder problems with exedy or competition clutches so it makes sense to save some cash here and just stay with a standard one.
