Ok so Robbie has designed and made his own clutch's and gearbox's (car specific)and they are intended for drift use so they will stand up to the powerslide efforts we do here in Tassie

They are twin plate button but dont feel as harsh as a button does nor do they drive like one.

Currently he has had 2 different type of clutchs made up and they look the ducks guts.

The top end ones are designed to cope with 1000bhp (and was built the same as the one he run's in the CAPA drift ute (you all know what it is)

The cheaper of the 2 is still designed with drifting in mind but for the person on a budget and not pushing as much at the treads either.

There designed to handle about 350bhp but still stand up to the punishment that it will be put through with those 3rd and 4th gear clutch kicks.

If you have looked around for a gearbox of late u will know that a excellent Rb25 box will set u back about 2k maybe more and not the easiest thing toget a hold of in Tassie.

The box's Robbie has designed and had made again are car specific and will hold up 100 times better than anything else around for similar $$$'s.

I will post up more details, some pics and prices when i have a chance but im stoofed at the moment so im hitting the sack as i got a couple of big days ahead of me.

If your keen for more specific answers then PM me or give me a call.

Cheers B

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
