des_curran Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 I'm not totaly sure but looks like an AP organic or maybe an exedy, i will most likely fit a lightened flywheel at the same time, i dont want to fit a paddle as i need to use the car a lot in heavy traffic at peak hours in glasgow.
sma01 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 i'm not sure what one to go for, think it will be the carbon one, not cheap, but once its done then shouldnt need done again for a long time scott
des_curran Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Sounds good, I'm dying to get mine done as the pedal is right up before it bites and when giving it some it is slipping a bit, Duncan was saying a its a fair few hours to fit a clutch to a new age with the 6 speed box so its just a matter of when he can do it.
sma01 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 mines isnt quite that bad yet mate, just slipping in 5th and 6th just now when nailing it, going to need done sooner rather than later, just an expense i wasnt expecting as just spent a fortune on the new brakes scott
des_curran Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Ye but the brakes look so good[] Mine is most noticable when cold or above 5000rpm's in 5th or 6th, but there cant be much left as the pedal is so high before it bites, i dont want to start uping the power until its sorted out, handling is sorted, brakes are sorted, just the clutch then its time for more go[]
sma01 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 cheers mate, i am biased but i do agree, brakes look minted on the car, and have vastly improved the stopping power, just need the rears done now.... i'm the same, got loads more i want to do to the car, but clutch is now going to be a priority, followed by another map... scott
des_curran Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Ye i've got a big list of to do's, i've had the car less than 3 weeks and thats nearly £3k already, but worth every penny[]
sma01 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 nearly had mine a year now, and couldnt possibly repeat how much ive spent, its just spiralled higher and higher, but agreed, worth every penny, and still got a big list still to get through.... scott

harvey_smith Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 It might be of interest to some of you that very atractive, substantial, aluminium ones with hard bushes are available from API Engines. £55 front, £45 rear plus vat. Very easy to fit if you have a trolley jack.
