a friend of my brother in law did this professionally for me it now weighs 4.3kg not sure what it weigh'd before but it perfectly in safe limits as its been machined out side the clutch plate and as im needing new clutch it couldnt have come at a better time

If he worked for Prodrive, then he must be reputable, and a genius lol

Also, its just faster acceleration it gives isnt it? Dont you lose top end? Not really good on a saxo :n:
