XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Hi all Im new here, finally got to a computer to join! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I currently have a WRX classic '94 which I have had for a year now and managed to blow the gearbox up as I cant help but drive it flat out! Ive found a gearbox but need to know whats the best clutch and where can I get it from. Im currently on holiday abroad, returning next week to sort my car out ready to join Kent Scoobies this year for your meets. Shame I wont be able to attend your forthcoming one at Nottcutts as I live on the Isle of Sheppey. Im the annoying one who has regularly seen you guys in your mass on the motorways, either coming back from Santapod or Trax! Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated! Thanks Andy.
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Give Knowlesey a ring at Xtreme Scoobies Tel 01245363623 and get a nice AP Racing clutch from him Clutch kit costs about £425 and £150 for fitting if I remember correctly !!!!! Cheap for what you get though . Any one will tell you I was never gentle with my clutch and they seemed to last a hell of a long time with the abuse I used to give it Good for the strip and the track and very easy to use around town too Hope this helps Tony
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Cheers mate, I will give Knowlesey a ring when Im back in the UK nxt wk. My mate in Sheerness imports and races skylines and said he could fit it no probs - will Knowlesey just sell the clutch or does he supply and fit only? Ive been offered a 2nd hand gearbox for 350 quid with a yr warranty frm a shop in London, is this good or do you know of anywhere else I could purchase one? Thanks for the reply. Andy
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 He will just supply if thats what you want mmmmmmmmmmmm Skyline, on sherness I wonder who that may be then ??????? Not Mr Sideburns himself !!!!!!!
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Yes Wet Wet Wet! His side burns are down to a minimal now but still take up half his face! How do u know him?
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Lol I have a r32 skyline !!!! And was going to buy the mental r33 gtst with 700 odd bhp !!!!!! Nice bloke, normally i get to race his scooter
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 yes mate - they got alot of fat cars, not to mention the black scooby which I raced and wished I hadnt, as it goes like a rocket! Dnt know them all personally but have been into the workshop and do have mates that know them well. You??
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Hee Hee who dont Top bunch of lads and working on one hell of a Subaru project at the moment
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 You said u had a R32 - does this sound like a stupid Q or do u own a Scooby aswell?!
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Lol i was an expert at killing my one !!!!!!! Just been a member of Kentscoobies for far too long and still come along to the meets Tony
SCOOBYTOO Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 xbx... my front sti bumper that is on my car now came off the black sti you mentioned
granby Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 If your interested there is a group buy on Exedy clutch's on Scoobynet at the moment, in fact AP clutch's are Exedy units anyway, read some of the comments and you will see they are highly rated would be worth going for a lightened flywheel as well
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 That is very true You could also give mark at Lateral a call he sells both, them, err you know what i mean
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Nice one, thanks I come home next week so will make some calls...wheres Lateral Tony???
XBX Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the recommendation, I am really interested in getting one with the flywheel....so I registered on the Scoobynet site and then typed my reply and then it read that the group buy had ended but I read on and the the last date replies were posted was 18th December, where by they only had 2 people out of the 5 needed, and thats it.....I keep getting chucked out of it and it crashes and logs me out automatically! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Any suggestions other than to email the administrator?? I dnt wana miss this offer.....!!!!!!! HELP me please! Desperate!
granby Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 The group buy is still on and the last post was yesterday , have you tried the usual of restarting your computer and logging on again, there have been a few group buys on the clutch's so have you replied to the one i done a clicky for
tony_cousins Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 He is based the other side of the M25 , give Mark a call on 0208 4205444, he will sort you out . I had mine posted to my home address which was good Tony

The Guru Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Andy, If you need a new clutch JK and I are sponsored by a Competition Clutch specialist and I can get you a Std clutch or a Paddle clutch like I run in our Rally Car for a brilliant price. If you are interested get in touch with me via PM. Arron.
