All in all, this in my opinion is a great upgrade.

Can you please provide some more details about exactly which Toyota Celica clutch you used? I recently got a the right bellhousing and a W58 transmission and I am trying to piece together the other bits.

Is it possible to find a 8.5 inch clutch disc I can use with the original JH four speed or five speed pressure plate that will fit the splines of the Toyota W58?
