[s-cars] 5 Speed Wooooooooos

[Mark Strangways]

Missed shift means my lazy left foot was a wee bit early in engaging the 
clutch prior to my lazy right hand getting the shifter into 2nd. And ohh 
4000 seems a bit low. :(

But I suppose it's all good, my turbo will be happier with the ratio's of a 
new 6-speed. Or so it thinks, and a new 5 puck clutch can go in.

Anyone looking for a Spec stage 2 clutch with about 5000 miles on it ?
