I am refereing to the 1.0mm adjustments that the instructions mention. If i make that distance 1.5mm will my clutch be more responsive?
currently I have to give the car alot of gas for it to move..

If you have to give a lot of gas to get the clutch to engage, then making the distance to 1.5 mm would be worse off.
Of course, the tighter the spring, the harder the clutch shoe engages onto the clutchbell but there is of course a limit to this. The adverse effects when the clutch spring set too tight would be the clutch slipping and too high engage point.

BTW, it also depends from one engine to another and the pipe / manifold combo. This is why the 1.0 mm setting in the manual is just a starting point for you to tune and it is not the be-all-and-end-all setting.

Bacter, you said that the silver spring is harder, so i will take it back then. so it is probably a matter of setting the spring nut far enough so that my engine engages...

Just get the LHS to open the box for you and you can check to see if the shock tower is already updated !

electric wires routing

I'm messy with wires... and last time a broken battery wire almost cost me an engine
