Isn't one of these a 20vt?  I thought I recalled you saying he had 
one of the only 200q20v's you'd ever seen in the UK.

Mine did this severely one day when I pulled into the driveway.


Even after the clutch replacement, it still does it to some degree. 
The mechanic declared that and the clutch's grabbing to be "because 
it's new, wait a couple of days."

Trying to diagnose my poor running under boost, he drove the car 
several times after the clutch was replaced, so he should have 
noticed it(it was impossible not to, I did within 10 seconds of 
driving the car.)  And he should have taken care of it.  Especially 
when I complained, on the spot, about it.

Been a year, and it still does it.  I'm now hours away from him, so 
it's a moot point, but I'm rather annoyed and Tim at NEA will no longer 
get my business, no matter where I live. I no longer recommend him to 
others.  Several other listers swear by him, but I just wasn't all 
that impressed with what was a very expensive job that will have to 
be done right the next time the clutch needs replacing.
