Jozinobi Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for the fun and support all I heard back from Exedy Usa through another contact and here is what they had to say after analysing my photos:From all of the pictures that does appear to be a genuine Exedy product. The part number 16954B is the correct part number for the Paseo. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.Sincerely, Evan ClineTechnical Coordinator-Aftermarket800-346-6091ex633www.exedyusa.comIm going to take their word for it tbh and hope the clutch will serve its purpose. Everything seems genuinely stamped and packaged etc so maybe Im being paranoid lol.The only other thing I could pursue is to get them to confirm the packaging for the stage 2's but if you look at mine they seem so spot on...There are ongoing issues with UK sellers and Exedy clutches which are a mismatch of genuine and cheap foreign parts so beware!Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 5EFHE ITB Engine UpdateMOT is due on Nov 6th so just preparing for that. All fun and games within itself.Hopefully taking the head down to a better place this week to get all of the valves machined to the new head spec all going well.My final drivetrain part from the US should be sent out today too fingers crossed.Still no sign of the TC goodness, please reply to my pms Rick .I reckon 3 weeks until I finally get the 5EFHE put together (just need spark plugs) then I will organise a date to get it base tuned (once run in) by someone I know, this is also to make sure my emanage ultimate unit works as well as the field harness.For some reason my mechanic wont touch my gearbox so that means he wont work on the diff bearings etc = fail.He will work on the clutch and flywheel, but not the diff, fark.However I have some contacts that have offered to help so all is not lost, just need to get the bearings and seals themselves which are quite dear.Within that time I will be heavily putting time into getting the ITBs right etc. Once thats done it will be off to the ITB specialist for fine tuning and dyno etc.Everythings not looking too bad PeaceJoz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks Tucka Im happy to hear that my project can be of some inspiration to Lora's EP.The front bumper is a bit like marmite isnt it lol but you have to see it up close to appreciate it (ask nanglebadger)Im going for an overall EP Track package that obviously does not focus on looks alone.Each to their own, I think you're just too used to Glanza bumpers Your in the NA Realm now bud :P Cheers for reading man.I'll continue to work hard on this.Should have an update on the head today.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
