Thanks for the info :)

Can anybody recommend some online stores for parts?

I am big on my motorbikes, and if you buy online from the states parts are almost 90% cheaper in some cases!

Does anybody know some sites where buying quite a few things ends up a bit cheaper?

So far I have only found http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/

I have purchased off these two retailers in the states, both positive experiences.

Think I may have almost settled on a clutch/flywheel setup for my 1.8

After doing some reading re flywheels, is a 11.7lbs flywheel too light? approx 5.3kgs.

215mm is the 1.8 clutch from what I have read.

Car is my daily, but will be raced.

Standard clutch should be ok ?
