absolutely. And even solid mounting gearboxes you have no vibration from the drivetrain, everything feels solid and the acceleration is something else....

certainly a taste aquired by me! 😀

clutch; you can get away with stock but i reckon a kennedy stage 1 or 2 would be nice....
Flywheel wise, its cheaper to buy one off me! but it basically invloves getting a machineshop to graft the centre from a RX7 flywheel onto the VW starter ring. Then some holes need to be drilled and tapped into the centre and a counterweight bolted onto the rear side of the flywheel. The biolts cannot protrude through, and then need skimming back and threadlockking on.
Thats it really!
