I'm getting a new one on Tuesday, xtreme 9-puck has failed for mine, while my mates abused 440hp holds up just fine with 10x more punishment! After it's pulled out to see just what sucked I'm deciding from there, but not sure what way I will go just yet. Twin-plate might just be a touch too far at the moment for me :thumbsup: Sponsor, anyone??

Gav, convert to an auto transmission and this is not a decision you will need to make :)

btw, grats on your 2nd at MC, but you were a bit closer to me than i like so i am happy to help with your auto conversion :thumbsup::blush::D

thats a 2nd with sliping clutch be afraid bard be afraid

shame really other than the bad idle/ rough running things felt good aparently no 5's coil pack wasnt attached properly but meh my best for the season

clutch didnt really show major issues till i tried to pass a truck on the way home revs went up speed didnt things got bad from there on

teach me to buy new sunnnies and think about new investments

*edit* if you want to help with full tein suspension instead of the auto im listening

Pauls will be avail as a second hand set as of Monday. I think he wants $1400 as they have done like 2000km.

You can have them at the end of the MC Season :thumbsup:

But seriously, its good value and if you supply the beer, ill come down and help fit them :blush:

so same as whats in your ride aye? if theres still fold available after clutch and cooling system weve got somehing to talk about at next autotest

and my beer is better than anything you can buy i promise you

Try the ORC carbon clutch. As you know drifters abuse their clutch like madness, like kicking and stuff... and it still holds up to the torture. A jap mechanic who does work for japan's drift cars told me that it feels almost like driving an organic, but it takes up to about 700hp. :thumbsup: Well price wise... ahem....

Yep, zactly the same as what i have. It will give us an more even playing field :(

I run a 4puck cushioned brass button clutch (exedy I think), lots of 1st & 2nd clutch drops and rolling kicks, I don't abuse 3rd so can't comment much there :( seems to handle all the abuse I deal it (ask Tristan, he's seen it painting lines :wub: )

yea slide has a decent range of exedy clutches so i was looking that way

spose itd really help if i gave a little info on cherryred and her uses for those who dont know me

while she sees verry little road use these days i dont want an overly heavy clutch

most of the track done at the moment is motorkana style but i plan on moving into short track stuff in the near future

power figures arnt expected to ever go over the mid to high 200s so no massive hp abuse

thanks for all the replies so far

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
