thanks for all the replies..and info on twincam etc.

 

driving the car for a bit now, i must say its not too bad..nice and quiet and ok acceleration being a manual. the only thing i find a bit annoying is a slight stering shudder/vibration in 3rd when I'm in slight hurry, i think it might be wheels or maybe steering.

Is it only in 3rd ?

 

Under hard acceleration or hard braking ?

yep i can only really notice it in 3rd, mayb a touch in 4th under moderate acceleration but only happen sometimes. I need to drive it more in the next few days to get a clearer idea as i just got the car.

 

gear goes in and out at ease so i think it might be alignment? tyres?

hey! wait up....AE112R's aren't just fwd shopping trolley's

 

well they certainly aren't a sports car. the only fwd car which even resembles a sports car is an Integra Type R.

ok, the vibration prob was underinflated tyres...only on 16-17psi...pumped them to 37psi, the steering is all good now

 

now few other probs if you guys can shed a light on or had exp with

 

1. my engine bay makes a belt noise obvious at idle althought not that loud..like those old falcons, upon closer inspection it is from one of the belts i think. any of u had this exp?

 

2. and also what are the signs of worn clutch?
