Hello everyone :) i need advice (I couldnt take the 'an advise' any more)

Hi guys, I dont know if this is the right section for this thread, but i am just so surprised i found this website. There is my story: I bought my N15 GTi 8 months ago, I saw it and the next day i was on my 200km journey to buy it. I instantly got in love with HER. I know its not good to have feelings to things, but I really love this car. I changed the clutch with some... Exceedy or something like that, i changed the engine oil with w10, new sparks or candles ( sorry my english is bad ), also new silicone ignition cables, and the car was good. Now, after 9k miles, she is very noisy, at low rpms she is jumping like a horse, and also when i throw the clutch at first gear after 4,5k rpm, inside the coupe starts smelling like mix of dirty socks and very bad fart. Please guys, understand if i didnt care about this rocket i would simply throw it to the rubbish, but i dont want anything else. This car is everything for me here, every morning on my way back from work i am with 130mph, and its just so amazing, thats the only way i feel free. And i really want to keep her alive, but i am affraid of mechanics which dont really give a shit about other people's stuff, so i want someone who loves these car, i want someone who has this spirit inside, who will see her problems with care. I want to make her in good condition. I have to change many things on the suspension but first i want someone to hear the engine, to make diagnostic or whatever it is, if something could be done, i want to be. Can someone recommend me good people in or around London who can help me, not just take my money :((( also the ring at the clutch has to be changed because the one who changed the clutch didnt put a new ring. Thank you in andvance.
 
That smell looks like burnt clutch!!
Yea, i was thinking it should be from the clutch, because as i remember it is organic, but i have never met something like this haha. But i worry about the noise from the engine, when i start the car, the first two seconds sounds like a sick dragon, like there is no oil, but there is.

I'd stop driving it at 130mph for a start if the clutch and flywheel are likely to be failing. You need to get the gearbox off and see what's happening in there. I would wager it's a spring gone in the clutch. I think there was a poor batch of Exedy's that failed at will at some stage.

This is what happens when a flywheel lets go by the way:

 
Id stop driving it at 130mph full stop really! Do you have a rattle on tick over? Without the clutch pressed?

I will try to calm down a bit, but when someone even tries to come close to me, I just cant resist and its coming from inside, to drop a gear or two. Thank you, I will find time to check, but It was very suspicious, when the mechanic changed the clutch, he put the clutch first, then he put the gearbox back up, but it was difficult to fit. Time after that i saw a clip where a clutch on a primera gt was changed, and they stuck the clutch to the gearbox, then they put the whole set up. Which way is the right one ? And any suggestions about the engine ? :( thank you!

Sorry my friend, my english is not good, i dont know what "rattle on tick over" means. When the car is neutral, if i just put a bit of weight on the clutch, just about 3mm, i can feel kicking on my foot. And also there is a noice from the clutch at all times, when i push it down the noise is changing and becomes much stronger, like something is going to fall down ( scratching ). And i think it is the ring, because it is the old one. The clutch wire is from micra, i had to change the old one, but i couldnt find, so i saw a crashed micra on the street and i just took it. It is not attached to the coupe, because its shorter, so it is in the air.
 
Imagine if you hated the car?? As spook said stop doing 130Mph if making that much noise it will go boom and it will end up in a scrap yard

I have no other choice, I have to go to work. But since yesterday I am driving much slower. The real problem are the people who are driving like they are in a museum with 15mph, and the ones who are wondering is this really a green light or they have to wait 10-20 more secs to be sure to go :(((( they freak me out and i have to push, because starting to sweat. Anyway no one is saying is there any proper private mechanic in or around London, who i can trust to.
 
Try Ashford Motors out near Staines, very reliable and honest. I took mine in there for a suspected clutch issue, they checked it out and there was no problem, no charge.
Or Anttess Autos West Norwood, took a work van there and they were great, up front flat costs and really good advice.
 
Ydo you know a post code or aomething, I cannot find anything about ashford motors, i will check about the other one.

Its not so far, 1h30m away, i will check something with a guy here, beacuse the clutch is still in guarantee, if we cant do anything ti replace it quick i will write to you, because my problem is i am working only nights ( rail replacements of the underground ) and i need the car every night, so i cant leave it somewhere, but to get the new clutch i have to send the old one and to wait a week or more to recieve the other one :(. Is that a private drifting track behind the house :))) ? And another thing, a friend told me to replace the injectors ( he didnt say with what ), is it a good idea, and i also worry about the very noisy engine, for 10k miles it ate just about 700ml of oil, which is impressive...with this driving..
