Ok. Not sure you need a paddle clutch. I reckon a 1.3 Standard will be ok on the power you want to make. Worst case just change it. I put a 1.6 clutch on mine, there was not much difference in them from the 1.3.

Paddle will also affect your driving of your daily car, and your pocket :) .

I have lightened flywheel and 1.6 clutch (I haven't tested it fully due to issues with throttle body), I think it is a good combo, and light on the pocket. I have normal micra driveability, as soon as I can drive a few miles without my throttle body packing up. I want to see Frank ( who gives his heart and soul to help us) .

Which car have you got ?

Yes someone did mention 1.6 clutch wat did u use ? I can't get someone to drill my flywheel ? wat will it cost for the 1.6 setup? I have a micra 1.3 preface

That was me and I literally told you everything you could possibly need to know about the 1.6 clutch down to the dimensions of the spigot ring you'd need to use a GA16 flywheel...

yes it was u, enuo but still thinking about it nice spec but it's about getting someone local so I can get flywheel and drop it off to them and pick it up when it's done,

I am sure someone here can sort out a lightened GA16 flywheel ? It will just bolt onto a 1.3, you need a spigot ring and then you can use a normal 1.6 Clutch. It should be more than enough for the power you want to make.
Why don't you put a wanted ad up in the wanted section
 
It is a very cheap setup, just getting hold of the Flywheel from a GA 16 and get it lightened and balanced. Worst case you can probably buy ready made performance one, I think Polly ( Paul) bought one.

Nothing needs to be done to the GA flywheel, just need a spigot ring like you get for alloys...

Not to put you down but I'm slightly doubtful thats your welding... thats as good as my good day welding and I've been welding a few years now...
 
plan before welding,,, mock set up like pollyp does

can you get away with smaller mani studs. extending it moves mani away from engine ?
look like smooth welds.

Video? So I can learn how you can weld so well so quickly. Will provide a video myself :)
I don't own my own welder, work provides me with one seeing as its part of my job and all...

It'll probably be 0.6mm thick

Its a Clarke Mig 135TE Turbo :)
 
If you're using tig on the pipe you want as low current as poss and to feed the wire in quite quickly to stop you melting the edges of the pipe away from each other. I usually try and keep the filler rod resting between both pieces and increase the angle the rod is at relative to the surface to alter the rate the filler is added to the weld pool and apply VERY lightly apply pressure with finger and thumb to keep rod pressed against the surface. You'll probably want to turn the gas down just a smidge too to stop the gas flow upsetting the weaker, gentler arc. Good luck :)

Yeh I will grind the paint off 1 inch so it's bare metal then start from low settings and low gas I'll try on something similar then try it on my bonnet just want the aggressive look

I made my video with a camera and tripod on my own. Looking at your welds again, especially the second one, there is a LOT of pitting where you haven't cleaned the metal (like has been mentioned at least 4 times). I welded 2 pieces of steel plate together, but only cleaned one half of the plates and you can see that as soon as you get to the dirty area the weld becomes rubbish:

(I stopped because getting the metal to flow became almost impossible)

I mean when welding it took me days and time lots of scrap and gas, filler rods to waste but I got the hang of it, the thin stuff needs low settings that u have to move quick with the torch or it will burn holes faster with the heat going it, that's only way I learnt, now saying @h701micra injectors I can weld coz doing smaller stuff is harder then other things, I might even have a 2nd fuel rail made this week
