HI airforceone if you have your flywheel lightened then there is no need for the plate but if you buy a billet flywheel as I did they are designed for 2.0 engine and box so they will fit the engine but there are clearance issues with the box. So I had a 5mm plate made to kick the box out slightly (I also removed a couple of the cast webs inside the bell housing) The other option is to replace the box with a 2.0 but gear cables in different place drive shafts are different (so I was tolled) so I thought stuff that hence the adapter plate hope that helps paul

At last I have managed to fit the light weight flywheel (9kg to 3.9kg) you have a 2.0 pressure plate a 1.8 friction plate and a 5mm adapter between the gearbox and the engine . It all turns over ok so I'll refit the engine tomorrow and see what happens (fingers crossed)

I have a rocket and wear goggles as I get hay fever.The wind is not to bad with the screen fitted I am 6.1 and do not have any problems But the main thing I would suggest are ear plugs as after a while you ears will ring.(the down side to sun glasses is the wind knocks 7 bells out of them so don't spend a fortune on them)

I got the same pipe on mine had to cut that long pipe off with thread on it and plugged up the hole you may also find that you have to alter the angle where it will join to the rest of your exhaust ( mine was a mk2 yours is a mk3 so you may not have to )
