A wee update, the block is being built up atm, CDB has been modified slightly and waiting on the conrods from Holland. As soon as they're here they can carry on creating the monster SimTek is also on its way

Looks like I'll have my shortblock for sale too if anyone wants that

The HD kit is a normal clutch, should be a bit nicer to drive than the paddle version I had!

Are you going for the 6 spring conventional disc?

Having driven some rally cars with paddle clutches I found them to be very harsh as they either seem to be engaged or not, they seemed very snatchy and not really suitable for 'normal use.

I've ordered an Exedy from Clutch City Online for my Honda CRX track car and the purchase went well. I remembered that they also stocked ACT, here's a link...
