evilscorp Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Im not sure if im just over analysing some slight noises that may have been around for a while, mabe its due to the Z not being my daily anymore. As for the S/C the Vortech seems to make more power(larger) than the HKS one so thats my reason for going for it. Im not after a tuner kit just want the whole package including fueling; larger injectors, fuel pump etc. Have the time and spare car to fit the kit myself so just need to find a UK supplier....... and the £4-5grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 My car is at 58k and I bought it with 38k still on the first clutch(i hope) altho I drove my old car for ages until I was TOLD by a mechanic I needed a new clutch....gearbox.... A new gearbox?? ! My old prelude had a problem getting into reverse and getting out again also notchy 5th gear, drove it like that for ages until it wouldnt go in reverse at all. Was told everything was knackered altho I couldnt really tell the clutch was dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just came back from holiday to go for a wee drive in the Z and charge the battery. But ive noticed the clutch has an annoying squeak when its disengaging doesn't seem to be slipping but could this be a sign I need a new clutch? Can the standard one survive with 380-400hp(what I aim to have by the end of the next year or two) or should I go for an uprated one when the time comes? Mine did this after being stood for a couple of months in the bodyshop when it had it's respray. It went away again after a few weeks of use so fingers crossed it's just that.

Cheers for the reasurance, its still a bit squeaky but getting better (i think lol), will keep using it over the next few days since the weather is nice too, fingers crossed. Going to strip the rear tonite and paint my mesh grill black as it looks a bit daft being shiny alu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
