Mad! Got more?! Did you find it fairly easy to hold a slide?

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 13th, 2008, 12:28 pm

yeh a couple more (if i remember right)

all i know is that the twin plate hated it... heated up (thus slipping) wayyyy too easy unfortunately.

the car has unbelievable torque, from the lights, snapping 2nd results in baking the rears.

Frost · Post by **Frost** » December 16th, 2008, 12:27 pm

what you ****? the Diff?

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 16th, 2008, 12:29 pm

the clutch.

drift practice + antilag.com cruise = epic clutch damage

Frost · Post by **Frost** » December 16th, 2008, 12:34 pm

and they voided the warrenty on it?

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 16th, 2008, 12:38 pm

no ive got warranty still.

just clutches arent really warranty since they are wear and tear.
if it was a clutch bolt that failed, id have a claim

wicksy · Post by **wicksy** » December 16th, 2008, 3:17 pm

mate got a new one under warranty in his FG, it was slipping real bad, apperantly its a known problem

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 16th, 2008, 3:35 pm

really? interesting
im not sure my slipping is the same as his though... im probably a tad more harsh on the FG

no twin plate options with this gearbox

FPV boxes are different

anyways, $2500 for high performance clutch, new pressure plate and lightened flywheel

fitted

btw, my clutch had no meat on it left, my pressure plate was like a cheesegrater, and my flywheel was blue ish

Post by **Bipolar** » December 18th, 2008, 3:30 am

^^Interesting to see how massive those calipers are outside the wheels.

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » January 10th, 2009, 7:09 pm

haha yeh they are big. they weigh double the mass of the FRs

anyways, the car has been off the road (on a hoist at ford) since the 15th of December to the 8th of January)
thats 25 days it was at ford for a 1/2 day job.
fucking joke.

so i ordered a Malwood clutch and got the car taken to West Racing to get the clutch fitted (they are the WA Malwood suppliers)
it should be ready tuesday they said.
so that will bring it to a total time of 31 days since ive driven it :O

just in time for motorvation too haha

XH5LWEPN · Post by **XH5LWEPN** » January 10th, 2009, 7:13 pm

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » January 10th, 2009, 9:22 pm
