That would've been me... just got it back from garage after getting a new clutch in it, last one went pop a few weeks back...
Don't know how you managed to guess the colour of the car though, so covered in muck it was! - maybe that's why you saw it as a GPX, rather than a GR...
As for cool dude... you didn't notice the fact that I had a pair of waders in the passenger seat and a back seat full of fishing rods and smelly bait!

Just a quick question.. was it expensive to get the clutch fitted?

Got it done out in Tallaght, it was 600 euro in total, including a new clutch and a bit of work on the gearbox as well...

Cool thanks for the info :-)

Am only asking cause I'm considering getting a compettion clutch fitted - but I had no idea at all what the cost was.. There are a couple of other projects higher on my list - but it's good to know that I wont have to sell my liver.

No real point in getting a higher spec clutch - better bet would be to fit a lightened flywheel when it comes to changing your clutch. Much cheaper option and better performance gains to be had.

Really.. I hadn't a clue...

I just really wanted to get a sharper powertransfer ..it's difficult to explain really...It's nothing I'm going doing right away..didn't even fit an induction kit yet - so loads of little things (and big expensive things) that I'd like to get done as soon as the credit limit permits it ;-)

That and the fact the a car with a performance clutch is a b!tch to drive under normal road conditions....
