A big thank you to John and the guys at ECC who worked on my car yesterday (Adrian and Kevin I think). They know their stuff and weren't phased by my DIY LHD set-up...still dropped the box within 2 hours even though it necessitated turbo removal to get the box out (oops - didn't think about box removal when twisting the set-up!).
The stage 4 clutch they use is better than my previous SPECS item (although note that it isn't, and never will be [I suspect, it is not bedded in fully yet], OE smooth in operation).
It's about 1h 20min drive from Dublin 4, they have tea and coffee plus a take-away van right outside, and Lisburn town centre is a 15 minute walk away (they offered to drop me down, but what else was I going to do with the day!). Oh, and there are lots of eye-candy projects in the workshop, including a very serious track Impreza build using the latest and greatest bits.
Very pleased, thanks again!
Richard
