hi mates. i let a friend drive my car tonight. he tried a burnout in 2nd gear on the brakes and my clutch slipped for about 10 seconds roughly. wheels were spinning but clutch was slipping away and ended up smelling burning clutch.

seems ok now but just wondering if it would have damaged it. its got billet flywheel also. seemed to engage good going up a hill dropping clutch in second abit later after that so i dunno.

just worried about stuff like that

You would have put heat spots in the flywheel for sure, also taken some life out of the pads.

+1

damage yes,

needs replacing? no, not unless it slips again after it cooled down properly.

just allow to machine the flywheel next time you replace the clutch

Don't let your mate drive your car. He sounds like a f*cken idiot

+1. Also, to quote Clarkson "[On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”"

    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite 
    • Interesting. I've not dived into the cleanliness of the factory CAS. I'm curious if the variations are less of an issue if the OEM sensor were brand new. Optical sensors if they're starting to get dirt and crap into them as they're getting older would definitely cause issues as they age.   It's an interesting point to keep in the back of mind for me though
    • Hmm. Tough one. Without knowing where the conductivity value is supposed to sit, it's hard to know whether a standard DMM set to an available ohms setting would be able to measure anything. Ohms being the inverse of what we're talkng about and probably good enough for the girls I go out with. But if you want to go all hoity toity with a 4 wire rig - go ahead. It can only be more accurate - just in case more accuracy or repeatability turns out to be required. If you're going to the effort, just go chuck the ohm-mage probes into the car's reservoir and see if you can measure anything at all?
    • So, barely torque them, but add a drop of Loctite just to be sure?...
    • Was good fun with some old a school sau
