    Yeah true, even one needs to get a sigma up them at some point.
    I would absolutly KILL for a genuine sigma turbo!

    You fag Geoff :p

    So you got the cashola for the clutchola? Man i wouldn't think too much would go wrong with your Clubby after you have the clutch done. Your Cluby is like my VP in that sense, you have replaced almost everything that could **** up on it lol.

    ****ing Commodores.

    Yeah thats one thing that is sort of keeping me going.
    When something goes, im replacing it with good quality stuff or beefing it up in some way.
    So hopefully not too much more can go wrong lol.
    Anyway got some sort of good news today, i rang south east geaboxes and they quoted me $700 to throw an overhaul kit through my gearbox while its out, new bearings/seals/synchros and what not, which i didnt think was too bad.

    And now im down to choosing which clutch i want to use, im deciding between:
    1) Clutch industries - Ceramic clutch and flywheel packaged based on the 350 chev stuff for about $950
    2) Ace clutches - Organic clutch and flywheel setup, spoke to do 400RWKW no worries, $980 ish

    I think Im leaning more towards the ace, because ive heard good thigns about them before.

    Should have most of the cash by end of the week, then just gotta work out how much labor is gonna kill me, then hopefully have it done asap!

    No way did i chop them, i would never do that in a real car.
    Only a thrash car/paddock bomb....
    Rears are SSSL's, and fronts are V6 SL, which sit a lot lower than V8 SL
    The ride height is good, but its quite low for speed humps and stuff like that, can get quite annoying at times

    Nah its cool :p
    Thanks for your comment, Tas HSV
    At the moment i am thinking of just getting an exedy HD clutch and chucking it in, just to get it back on the road, because of my brokeness.
    And my sigma crapped itself yesterday so had 2 cars that i couldnt drive lol.
    So need a backup car too.
    So i guess ill chuck it in and see how it holds up, by the time ive got the blower all going and everything i should have cash for a sweet clutch if it doesnt hold up to the POWER :p
