my clutch is Helix Dual Plate Organic clutch so i think the clutch itself is ok and if you smash the gearchanges its fine

it only seems to happen when i granny shift (not double clutchin' like YA SUPPOSED TO)

You would think that

I would... and i'm right

yeah thanks, it kinda makes sense - ive got stock seats and std seat positon

i dont feel that the seating position is too high (at least, it seems OK)

but i swear, its as if i dont take my foot of the accel pedal enough (or properly) so its ever so slighty during gearchange, which makes it almost free-rev after clutch in/out

ill do a drive on saturday and log it and see what the logs show, it should show TPS not dropping to 0.30v if my thinking is correct on gearchange

very odd

is there a company who makes the brackets or did you do it yourself?

ay-ay-ron and I both bought them from the same place... some company in the USA... cant remember the name, I found it on the evolutionoz forums

I find one of the most annoying things is the car revs out slowly and drops revs equally slowly... it feels like the flywheel weighs 200kg

I didn't install the clutch, so i'm guessing tis' the stock flywheel

dont plan on building anything.....

just asking if hamish had heard of wierd clutch issues like i described

turns out yeah there might be some background to it, so maybe seat position is part of it

Seating position I lowered with brackets that bolt onto the stock rails. Now i see why you were saying you couldn't see the speedo, it's cos you have the stock seating position.

Stock seat height in evo's is TERRIBLE... It might as well be mounted on the roof for how high you are. Brackets will drop you close to 2"

Clutch wise, who knows... I have an HKS single plate so it's either on or off lol

I never had an issue with seat height...... dat short lyfe

Are evos designed for smaller statured folk like myself?

pretty much, well the jdm ones are anyway

adm have different seat bolsters to fit the bigger build

which one? he apparently made 3

his was the silver, there was a pink one roaming around echuca I think and a 3rd up north blue off the top of my head

From what I saw the pink vl from Echuca was only rwd rb30 but with a 26 head and twins on it, poss a different car, but that was about 10 years ago.

I remember hearing about the 4wd vl back when I was in school ( and that's a f**ken long time ago).

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
