You have an n/a gearbox in your car if it is emlyns old 850r mate. Are you sure it's not clutch bearing rattle or ghe clutch itself .that car is bloody quick from what Emlyn said and its stock too .

It is quick for an unmapped car but the gears are definitely too short

It was done Emlyn paid Andy from Norfolk to do I think .depends what you are used to regarding how things are fast or not .im used to a s40 1.8vvt and a 140 bhp 940 so it will feel rapid to me lol

Hi today I fitter my poly top mount and bulkhead mount bushes, also fitted my sub frame bush inserts and what a difference it has made to the handling.
I also had a unsuccessful attempt at fitting my 3" down pipe but the bend on it was too large a radius and I could not get it in as it was hitting the bulkhead so I butchered it and fitted the original and a custom decat pipe with stainless cat back 2 1/2" so now all I need is a 3" dp with tight radius bend and I will me happy with the exhaust. No rattles so far but I can hear a puff from a join. Not to worry.
Its not too much louder than stock at low revs but gives a great growl when you give it the beans

Getting the wishbone bushes done on Tuesday and I still need to track down a 21.5mm or bigger anti roll bar and bush kit as my bushes look like they are on there way out.
Cheers Dob
