Yep. Thing is, I cannot get hold of another bolt 'til Tuesday at the earliest, with the car (not mine btw), going to WiM the same day.

I cannot see why those bolts need splines on them The inner collar of the bush doesn't have splines

MB,

Cheeky as this may be, if you end up doing a trackday at the same time as me, any chance of a passenger lap or two? genuinely intrigued to see if your engine mods would satisfy my requirements.

Re your comment earlier in the thread about gears, J's racing saved something crazy like 2.5 seconds round suzuka fitting 4.57's (or was it 4.44) ... regardless, it was noticeably quicker.

No problems at all, happy to oblige!

I will be doing Spa, Rockingham, Castle Combe and one or 2 others this year.

Might even get to a meet somewhere (it would be a first )

RE the FD, it probably suits Suzuka. Possibly on a circuit with longer straights it might not be so good?

That Mugen S on youtube definitely has gears.

There's a 4.44 on ebay if you're interested

Gears are by far and away the best mod NA. If I ever meet you you can drive my car - you'll love it

Where did you buy and how did you get them fitted, out of interest?
