Yeah you can bring it around whenever just gimmi a call before you come. 083 306 7721
Just 1 thing are you sure that is the right clutch kit?? Because I know a guy who fitted one to to stock sx and it wouldnt hold at anything over 3500rpm, now no matter what you do to the clutch it still wont hold if it is not engaging properly. I would hate for you to get your clutch done and it still doesnt hold.

it is holding fine 1st 2nd gear, 3rd 4th 5th as soon as it hits 1 bar boost starts slipping? so just think it cant handle the power

Then yes I would say the clutch needs to be done.
When do you want to bring it???

gary....just a suggestion....let the guy thats gonna do it make it a dubbel diafram pressure plate....a bit harder on the footwork but it garentees the slipping issue..

What I normally do is just get the clutch plate made into a 3 PUK copper clutch. The contact area is small so the force on the fllwheel is greater, this has worked every time. I can get a double diafram made up but that will cost more and give a kak drive.

Actually not....it feels weard in the beginnibng but you get use to it....to my experience a 3puk will shudder more....making traffic a bit more unpleasent...thats my opinion.
