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.

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 :D
fitted


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

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
