daveo132 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 New clutch kit and lightened flywheel arrived today from @Tarmac@TarmacSportz along with the upgraded Slave, Braided line and fluid. What a lovely bit of kit. Also some new rear number plate LED units, and enough stickers to start my own Tarmac Sportz brand I'm not planning on taking pics at the moment as it's all boxed up. But let me know if anyone does want pics of the kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Bit more work done today. New Y-Pipe installed by my local longlife. Great work again by them. In the second picture you can see they had to remove the flange on the end of the cats. They called me over to take a look and the flanges were pretty much dust. I poked the one and it started to fall apart. So they cut them off, welded some short pipe on so then the new Y-Pipe would slip on. When / if I go for Hi-flow cats, they've already said they'll help me out with that. Sorry, I don't know why it's uploading sideways. It's not like that on my PC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Bit of a knock on the front ARB now. When it rains it pours lol Thankfully it's before the clutch work so they'll get changed then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Long life cat back exhaust made for our Mini almost 10 years ago here in Manchester. Gorgeous finish still looking good to this day. The lifetime warranty gives that extra peace of mind too.

daveo132 Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Well I've made it to Belgium with only one casualty. Looks like the cover from under the gearbox has dropped (from when the clutch ans fly where changed) and I ended up dragging it from Calais to Ghent. Nothing I could do about it last night. Looks like there is a garage just up the road from the hotel so I'm going to pop there to just get it taken off. It can always be replaced later. Not sure why it came off. Either it wasn't fitted back properly, it broke, or I caught it on a nasty pothole at one of the service stations. Is what it is though, only some plastic.

daveo132 Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Now all sorted by a very nice garage who didn't even charge me for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Few more from the road trip today. Car's been faultless. Every single image I've uploaded is sideways. Sorry, but blame the forum as they're fine on my PC Also have a time-lapse of today drive, though the first render didn't come out well.

daveo132 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yep, got back this afternoon. 1200 miles done. Car was faultless and I'd say the new clutch and lightened flywheel are fully bedded in now too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo132 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 I didn't take too many "proper" pics. Too busy enjoying the driving. But I just sorted some of the few I did take on the proper camera. Enjoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
