Brilliant clutch and excellent pedal feel, I have the same clutch on my V
Hopefully I'll get to try it out pretty soon been a very long project that wasn't actually meant to turn into this but once I started I thought well - I'm this far in I may as well just do it all properly and once still not fully happy with the car but it's alot better than it was
What power do the oguras handle does anyone know?

Hello folks - I do valeting/detailing with my best friend when im not working away from home and I've been at it probably 4-5 years properly
So I've attached some pictures of the glanza which is my own but was in dire need of bringing back to life
Products used:
Vertool forced drive, Scholl concepts S20, Infinity wax snowfoam, lake country pads, waxaddict subzero and randoms wax, chemical guys p40 polish, madcow, trolls breath for degreasing the wheels and inside the arches
Unfortunately i got no pics of it on stands I cleaned the whole underneath before starting the rest of the exterior
Any questions fire away

Well been a while since ive updated this now that im home and collected the car!
Started working on it degreasing every inch of it and it's had a full correction to the paintwork by myself and other detailing buddy just going round the entire car tidying it up
Got the foglights working and wired in the turbo timer have been having difficulty with my oil temp gauge sender and gauge work just not getting any temperature registering
More pics soon cheers
