    Since I moved house, my weekly car miles have  really plummeted, so I would say a higher percentage of my driving time is driving "with enthusiasm"... and yet, strangely,  my average mpg is also showing 32.5 mpg. I wonder if Mark somehow pegs the computer at that, just to make us feel better about the blower!

    Cool, thanks. I've had good experiences using high power coils on old skool, distributor based ignition systems before, but at least some purveyors of "internet wisdom" claim it's not worth it with COP packs unless pushing big power. Good to hear that's not the case. Another thing for my shopping list, and "little" job for Abbey at some point!

    Martin,
    I'm interested in your experience with the uprated coils. Do you think the the improved driveability is down to the uprated coils, or just due to new items vs old/tired originals?
    Cheers!

    I also got mine from TD.
    You definitely have to take the pedal assembly off (right hand drive!), but it's not nearly as scary as it sounds.
    It took me about two hours, including a short break for rain, a short break for coffee, and accidentally pulling out the wrong spring clip. I removed the clip for the brake pedal, then wondered why the clutch wouldn't move.
    This guide is pretty good:
    how to install MTEC clutch spring upgrade in right hand drive BRZ GT86 86 FRS
    The only thing I would add is that, if you can, get a second pair of hands to help line up the clutch pedal assembly with the bulkhead holes when refitting. That was the one bit of the process that really gave me a headache - damned thing kept slipping.

    Really sorry I missed it, but I just ended up with too much I had to catch up on. Hopefully, next time!

    I'm at Abbey now.  It looks nice in its box, so last photo before it goes in.

    That looks like it's solving a slightly different (closely related) issue... probably a more important one, at that! Added to the shopping list! Thanks.

    Both Miller's and RedLine do 10w60 oil, RedLine also do a 5w50.
     
    I'm not convinced of the need for going colder than 10 in most of the UK.
     
    And I do rate RedLine quite highly.
