    So been gathering a few bits and pieces of late, all to fix my leaking stem seals, pretty much thought well its coming off may as well replacet some bits so, wds intake manifold, piper springs, piper 254 cams, rnd adjuatable cam pulleys and new gaskets for the head will be going on. Once its here will start dismantling to send the head off and from there will have a custom tune done.

    Also noticed the car had developed a bit of body roll which is very uncharacteristic post coils so thought id check em out and i have killed them and the drop links too, so new shorter droplinks as well as some kw v3s are on their way, well coils will be on their way in september lol but after that the car should be back better than ever!

    @faneca they are the valve spring retainers not the stem seal retainers, completely different thing.

    Ah yep, that will do it Click here to enlarge I thought you may have just got the valve spring retainers only, not both. I got the RSS ones from regal because rnd weren't responding to emails.

    Well, guess I'm up for a new clutch. Spline grease all over the friction surfaces, absolutely effing yay. Never buying another eBay clutch ever again, lol.
