scoobzie Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 hi guys well thats my carr on its third clutch in 2 months the last one was 3 weeks old i killed it at crail on sunday i was told it would withstand the pressure but obviusly not it was a stage one exedy so have put a triple plate clutch in it this time and see how i get on with that so my initial thoughts are if i am going to spend so much on the clutch i am just going to build a fast road & track car so time to stretch the credit card lol cheers scoobzie[]

Would have done a good price on it........
JohnSt Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I'm assuming when you say a Triple plate clutch that you actually mean a paddle clutch that has three pads, a triple plate clutch would have cost £2K+ ? ---john---
WUZ Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 John's right (again) - think a triple plate is a little overkill for your power M8! Russell

(a tad slower than you got up there).[]
scoobzie Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 hi kris yes got home no probs m8 the car ran superb on the run home but got it checked out and the clutch is done so as i said a triple plate clutch is going in i have decided to mod the life out of it and see what bhp i get out of it i have a new gearbox going in aswell but i am still going to build my track car with the 700bhp i am looking to source a good type ra for that purpose it was nice to chat with yourself m8 you sure have a nice impreza you would be of your head to sell up i have decided to call it a day with crail for the moment and spend the cash between the 2 cars i hope too see you again m8 take care scoobzie
higgy Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 The most important thing with any new clutch is Did you follow the running in proceedure????? Higgy
nanaki Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 i get a feeling that dosn't include going to crail shortly after fitting does it?
scoobzie Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 no m8 spending my cash on the mods and my type ra when i find a good one cheers scoobzie
