Christmas came kinda early today, luckily the wife was out too



Grant from GB Enterprises sent me a nice new 4.2kg lightened flywheel, this has been made for the PG1 box (std Elise) drilled to suit the T series (Rover 620Ti) Helix clutch i have (rated to 425lbft). Dual Mass flywheel is about 10kgs (no scales) so a decent saving. I even fitted the Focus clutch (its the same size as the T series), shame the PG1 uses a funny spline





I wont be using the MMT 6 speed, and the Gearbox for the elise as i had a T series PG1 fitted. Good news is this is similar, t series has an additional bearing, to the K series PG1 which is std fit on the Elise. So this is with a great friend who is changing the bell housing from T series to K series and we are looking at reducing the final drive to 4.2 as this is similar to the MMT Gear ratio's 1st to 4th. Fifth being slightly longer at 23mph per 1000rpm which isnt too bad and i wont have a 6th speed. Gearing will be about 160mph which is plenty for a 850kg car made by Farmers from Norfolk with Aluminium and Fibre Glass



Also hated the foam filter i had so bought a massive K&N Air Filter again from Grant




Please note the carpet wasnt my choice, its a new house and the previous owner was Scottish and Colour Blind (its for sale if anyone wants the carpet)
