I had your exact problem my t5 clutch went and I agonized over what to do, I ended up putting an exedy HD for 1100 fitted, that was 12 months ago and its still going good, but I don't boot it too hard these days, I had dreams of big numbers when I first got this thing but realised quickly that the ease of just starting with a manual BFII is the best path.

The long term goal is very far in the future, I might even get a bf11 engine to start with. I really dont know. but right now I know I would like to keep the car.. and I know something needs to be done about the current problem. so im weighing the option with all 3rd party input provided and making a decision on what I should do.. hey oneday these will be classics. why not hold onto it right And people are forgetting I cant really sell the car with a buggered clutch anyway. If the car was in perfect working order having depreciated as much as it has I would still be in debt because of the dreaded interest.Still though thanks for the input people. keep it coming.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

They're suppose to be a bit better then the T5 aren't they?Cheapest way to get to 400 later on down the track is unload it and buy a BF2.I know you don't want to but you will save allot of money this way.

But if your not in a rush you might be able to slowly acquire second hand gear for a reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
