yes i did have to use 5m spacer
but its all good
love them rims...hahaha
i think them rims looks better on my car than yours James [xx(]

any pics of the 5 metre spacers[88]

Hi
- I haven't had a chance to fit the 5m spacers on atm..just being stressing trying to pick what ECU for it and who do it is also important, when things are done i'll definately post up some pics for you guys...
- with the boot cooler set up, i can't post up the pics as yet coz the pippings looks pretty ugly...hehehe, once the car is on the road i'll re do the pipping and the i'll send pics of the set up.
- Brendannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...yeah i still can't believe you didn't run away with them RIMs [:p]
....they are hot as...lols...its a long weekend this week i'll try and come over this week sometimes to pick up the bushings...i'll call you first to arrange it...by the way hows your car coming along?

Yay, the clutch arrived, alas, there are more issues.

I was told it fit (he tested) but it doesn't. As I sort of thought would be the issue, the flywheel holes need elongating to fit on the 5SFE crank. The 5SFE crank uses M10 thread with a 12mm shank. The 3SGTE uses M12 thread and 12mm shank. This may have given the indication that it'd fit (as the holes are more or less hard up against the edge of the m12 hole), however, to fit the shank, they'll need elongating 1mm. Going to go see a machinist tomorrow and see if he has the tooling to do this accurately. It was sort of something I wanted to keep away from, but I guess many people (and all Fidanza flywheels are like this) have done it in the past, so it must be fairly reliable.

Anyway, by any luck, I'll be fitting the clutch & tranny up wednesday, and fit the engine this weekend. Game on baby. If anyone has any machinist/engineering contacts that could do this small task on short lead please let me know.

Some pictures:

Never was too much of a fan of the carbon idea myself, and no, I didn't really want a jap clutch as most of them seem quite useless at holding decent wads of power. I'd talked to a few people running this clutch and they had nothing but praise for it, and IMHO it seemed better then the alternatives (ie, clutchmasters). It looks like a very well made unit actually. I think as long as you don't abuse it with alot of slipping it'll be fine.

Basically, out of the list of possible off the shelf clutches, it ranked highest IMHO. Need to get some machining done to have it fit though. I want it machined to very tight tolerances though, as a stray flywheel would be rather disastrous.

Also, I don't really consider my car a road car anymore. Goal is a road registered track car, not a trackable street car.

If anyone wants to swap a factory interior, let me know, haha, yes, im serious.
