    Get a new clutch cable for a start Some of them are rubbish, and others are smooth as butter - you must have the former

    Not worth the KR cam swap - if you want more pull down low at the expense of top end, fit a 9a or PL inlet cam.

    I don't think that's a good idea, though. The slugginess is from over-long gearing and a 22lb flywheel - fix that and they have plenty of torque down low

    Leave the compression alone or you'll encounter major detonation problems with that engine management

    It has a brand new clutch cable, still feels heavy.

    The hydraulic thing is a good idea Gav, but if I`m gonna change the ratios, surely 020 is way to go. Gearbox is lighter, so is flywheel, and cable is shorter and heaps cheaper. Plus the gearbox is a third of the price and I have several of em.

    I have a 9a intake cam lying around, I`m up for that if you reckon it`ll help.

    Lower profile tyres wont help the ride on Sydneys crappy roads. I`m running 205 45 16s atm.

    If it was me i'd do the flywheel and try a chip out. Not to expensive and should make it a little more responsive.

    9Acam is softer. KR is the lumpiest one without going exhaust cam. I have brand new slave cylinder in the shed, I'll swap it for some old crap you have lying on the floor.

    I`m right for slave cylinders Gav, but always have old crap for swopping

    Its buggering around with the pedal box and I dont have the pedal end bit that clips on.

    If i`m gonna take the box off to put a ligtened flywheel on, I may as well just swop the gearbox for an 020.

    That said I pulled the MAF out this morning and the car went heaps better. Nice one William. I`m thinking I should probably replace it with another one, but the car goes heaps better without it

    Can I put a 9a exhaust cam in as the intake and will it make it go better??
