    well to be honest it was an entire engine swpa as i blew up my last lump at a local track day (shut up edmundvr4...lol)

    as yu know yu have to drill a hole in the fire wall for the clutch cylinder....but apart from that the longest bit was removing and re-installing the new wiring harness. The gearbox conversion took one day wroking with my mechanic to install the clutch pedal and the gear shifter setup.

    Nice

    The clutch, did you put on an evo 7 flywheel too?

    Or have a spacer made up?

    as far as i know they are direct swap. I'm pretty sure my clutch was a kit for an evo8, direct fit to the standard flywheel. cant confirm that tho.

    I had the vr4 clutch checked against all Evo clutches and none of them were a direct swap without modification (using exisiting flywheel)...

    Im interested to know more as i'll require an uprated clutch sometime soon...
