yeah ive considered a few times changing the grill and doing a different setup, involving chrome mesh still, just maybe over the vents, around each vent individually, or even the way it is now, but including around the head lights? owell the future awaits many decisions.

yep, ill be doing that, i copied the holes off another set of plates, and they happened to sit at that height, ill just re drill some holes eventually.

i also have to chuck on the smcka's brake kit thats sitting on my bench. really just cant be bothered with the little things lately lol...

well the brake kit is on, not much of a difference at all for normal driving but definately better than stock brakes in the harsher situations. and doesnt let dust and water/grease/oil slip all over the brake pad! (as much, i guess)

oil leak from sandwich plate (which was always present, used to be a 5c coin overnight, has now turned into a leak thats just ridiculous, SO

now the gearbox is out. F*CK thats a **NT of a job! was worried i was bending the release springs on the clutch, but after removal visual inspection said t'is all ok!

didn't get to see where the leak was coming from though. got to dark [8~2]

ive lost count of how many times ive taken the engine/gearbox out.

found something wrong! the clutch fork, that has a little bolt and a spacer that screws into the alloy housing, was not only loose, had actually fallen out!

which explains the occasional rattle when i press the clutch pedal.

hmm, just thought i would keep this topic up to date.
