Nice S13, the clutch isn't too difficult to change. I did mine last month, needs 2 people to realign the gearbox with the engine though.
Get an uprated one if you plan on upping the power, I went for an RPS organic from SRB Power

Fairplay! I did it on my drive with ramps under each front wheel.
£300 would see you a decent organic clutch that would take drift abuse/hard launches  Don't forget to get the flywheel skimmed

ITS BACK!
www.power-gt.com
The chap from here has been very very nice...
He has repaired the bootlid for me, just needs painting now, fitted an exedy clutch, fixed all the exhaust up (wasnt connected properly bolts missing from the downpipe and turbo area ) checked the car over for me, turbo all seems good..
He said could do with welding in few bits, and possibly something on the front subframe, so going to get this looked at asap, will be getting all bits that need to be welded and then the car undersealed..
he has offered to do that at a good price so will take him up on that in a month or so.
He's also had a play with it for me and it has abit more torque, and runs better, more fuel efficiant.
He also repaired a few wires on the loom for me when he checked it all over, and some wires on the gear box
If your in north kent and are thinking of getting an import, or want some work done to yours I cant recommend them enough

Okay so decided to try and fix that rev dropping problem when warm, im going to decide it must be an boost leak from the WMIC, luckily ill be ditching that in february so no worry there!
I decided it would be a good idea to clean the cam covers and the breather pipes, and clean and have a look at the good ol AAC whilst i could get to it..
I also removed the HSS but im not sure if ive taken off too much :smash: I got abit happy removing things.
Have i removed too much, what is this thing which is attached to the HSS as i unplugged that as well and removed the lot
