Deffo not the release bearing as ive only just had a new one fitted, and definatley not a slipping clutch as i know what that feels like and its really responsive in gearing down (really bites into gear) This leads me to believe it could be gearbox trouble! Cheers though mate, i'm gonna look into it more, any more thoughts would be great. Thanks Joe

i reckon its something to do with the abs. Remember the bloke that fitted my tyres saying that running on tyres that are a much bigger profile than standard can mess with your abs! I was like what the fuck!? He reckoned the bloke that bought the car before me didnt buy 55s because of the price (65s are almost half the price) Or was he chatting complete shite?

It's really weird, the brake pedal sometimes crunches and stops me from braking the car properly but only when im going really slow, coming to some red lights or parking. This car is giving me nothing but grief now! Any help appreciated, thanks Joe

its not putting it in gear thats crunchy but when i reach the biting point pulling away from stationary. New release bearing fitted when the clutch was put in yes. Any ideas?

oh yeah, clutch engages into gears 2,3,4,5 really nice without making a sound!!! So i'm guessing its not clutch related

have had the clutch on for quite a few thousand miles (maybe 5-6k) and its only started doing this within the last week. I reckon it could be a gearbox problem..... Gonna change the gearbox oil on saturday so we'll see if that makes any difference Can anyone help at all?? Thanks, Joe

Right....after gettin my car back this afternoon with the new release bearing fitted i now have another problem. When in 1st gear or reverse pulling away and i lift the clutch to the bite it makes a grinding/whining noise and feels like its not biting properly, a classic example of this is on a hill start when you have to ride the clutch a bit more than usual, it goes mad and starts whining away!!! Anyone know what it could be?? Hope its nothing too serious as ive had to spent shit loads out for this car recently. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance Joe

Looks wicked! You must be well chuffed!!!! When's the fte going in then lol

Wondered when you were gonna do this man!!! Car looks cracking in the flesh, will look real smart with the fmic. It was a fun little convoy the other day. We didn't lose you on purpose chanelle! Keep the updates coming Joe

Mate, I'm like a tramp in harrods im so skint!!! Always pleased to help man, hope you get it sorted mate, oh and i wanna be the first to see! Joe

Cars coming along nicely young man, some lovely touches. James had them springs and no complaints there mate, so should feel good. Just got your text mate. Just did some research for you on camskill mate, you can get excel-g shocks: front and back for £169.44 delivered to your door!!! Mine cost a bit more than that but camskill have got a half price deal on rear shocks!!! Excel-G's Joe

Nice one man, just what i wanted to hear. Joe

Whoooaaaa, that pic makes looks mean!!! Really liking this motor mate. What are your future plans?? Joe

The release bearing has gone on my clutch. I've been told by a mate that works in a garage that he'll have it done for £100 quid labour, which sounds pretty good to me. What bearing do i need to buy as it's a paddle clutch, cheers. Joe

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread, some great work Chanelle. Car's looking gorgeous Joe

Found out about it last night. Woke up this morning and was sure it was a dream, but no.........the legend has passed on RIP man, he was certainly one of a kind and will always be remembered.

Jesus i really need to get that decat to flexi pipe fitted, look how small the standard pipe is compared to the decat pipe!!!!!!!!!! Nice one jag forgot you took all those! Running so nicely only thing i need now is new front tyres haha gettin loads more wheelspin and a bit of torque steer now. Cheers Joe

*UPDATE* Had my CT9 hybrid fitted on sunday with a massive thankyou to Alexgtadv for doing the hard work. Couldn't do it at mine because i dont have any tools or space. After only a couple of hours, the hybrid was back on and boosting hard, but i wanted more boost so another hour or so of dropping the little pin from the actuator on the floor and almost losing it about 6 times and tweaking it etc shes boosting at about 12psi/0.8 bar. Still desperately need to get uprated mani, front mount and filter relocation but will hopefully have these before summer is over. Took her out last night for a

lookin real nice already man, good luck with the engine troubles

good stuff man. lookin forward to this. joe

I 2nd that, i have one on my glanza. Really nice to use, not too bad even for crawling around in town traffic etc and giving it beans feels great when you boot it up thru the gears!

Ah sorry man, I was gonna come and say hello anyway but you was chatting to your missus. Next time man Joe
