Ok well, update time I think.
Headed up to Toowoomba over the long weekend a couple weekends back and swapped in the new clutch kit and mk4 rear brakeks. New clutch feels so nice, the original one has been a bit slippery ever since I bought the car. Rear brakes are nice too, although with the ebc greenstuff pads (which I think are a little more sporty than what I have in the front) and ****ty cheap tyres on the rear with really nice ones on the front, if I get on the brakes really hard the back likes to lock up and slide before the front ones will. I'm sure if I had good tyres all around it would be fine.
A few pictures:
Getting the transmisison in and out just with a floor jack was a bit of a pain
Old clutch was completely rooted, which is why it was slipping even down hills
Noticed the self axle notch has actually worn completely through the chassis, I really must get a proper notch done and have it all welded up before **** starts rusting. This proves just how low I drive it daily
Got it all working again and took some snaps wit the parents camera on the grass haha
Test fitted and started measuring up how big I want the new lips for the rs to be when I got back to brisbane, I think these wheels are going to look sweetImagine the rears 2.5 inches wider and the fronts 2 inches wider, thats the plan at the moment. Want to roll and slightly pull the gaurds and measure again before I decide.
Needs a new clutch cable now but after that it should be all sweet mechanically for the time being
