I had noticed gear selection becoming more difficult these last few months so decided on a clutch change. Much to my surprise the old clutch and flywheel was still good order but a RS clutch/flywheel went in along with a new slave cylinder and hose. The new slave cylinder has made a huge difference to how the pedal feels.
So what of the RS setup? Well it's certainly altered the feel of the car and for the better imo. Idle is stable and there are no stall issues in fact the car pulls away on tick over which I didn't expect. The smoothness and quick response of the engine is very noticeable and really suits the cars character.
Another little job was a new throttle cable. Although the WOT switch was being operated it was right on the limit of pedal travel meaning the throttle wasn't quite open 100% . The new cable is much smoother to operate and the throttle opening fully seems to have released a few more ponies... :thumb:
Finally I have found the cause of my annoying engine ticking noise. The two piece Cup pipe had tiny gaps under the middle clamp! On close inspection there were tell tale blow marks Grrrr...it was bugging me for years!
