NEW CLUTCH :D :D :D :D


new clutch has been fitted - and it certainly grabs - managed to stall it though on the slip road in traffic - very bad !!

its very juddery at the mo - im assuming this is the bedding in cycle

but what a difference it makes - it feels like it grabs sooo well - even at 60 in 5th , it steadily pulled ni traffic

drove to and from WGT on no boost - really bad weather conditions :(

Bring on RSIII :D :D

Just thought i would let you all know

thanks Kev

and still a big thanks to you for doing the welding - no point having a clutch with a car with NO MOT - so thanks again for that

but yeah - car is taxed , insured , MOT\'d , clutched :D and ready to play

just need some nice weather now :D

its superb matey - really like it - makes driving the car sooo much different

i spoke to the guy who took my old clutch off - loads of life in it - but shiney in places where its been slipping

he said my flywheel was OK - and we checked the diff and gearbox oil - and both of them are OK ( the diff looks like new fluid he says :D :D )

pip reckons im running about 240 at the fly with the mods - although he said with a microtech i can prob get about 280 with the set up i have

next project is the DTSS thingies - as they are SHOT at .. took pip about 5 seconds to point it out to me :D :D

i dont think so matey

they are 202 stock - so exhaust and filter - 240 sounds about safe

brett got 196 at the wheels - so 240 is about right - i didnt want to say that i had 260 and then get flamed :D

so im playing safe - although now with a decent clutch it could be dyno time :D
