Dave's old clutch will be fine. It's an uprated one, so more than up to the job.

C20XE/C20LET "Pot" type flywheel.

I dropped Turbosport (conveniently just up the road from me and just down the road from Kimbolton as well) an email last week to see if they could do something that wasn't as extreme as some of their other uber lightened flywheels. Haven't heard anything back as yet.

Thanks for the info Matt. Might see if MB has used Turbosport before?

Good that's what I thought, exmantaa had me worried - so he just means a standard z20LET clutch is no good then?

[techieboy]

It's good for at least 300lb/ft torque on a turdo, so no chance you'll be worrying it with a Stage 2+ SC.

OEM VX220NA clutch is said to be better than the later stock Z20LET clutch...

(I have fitted a Z20LET clutch in my car and it is barely holding my 280hp SC. And it is not holding up at all to some Harrop power... ;-) )

Group buy? Must be one of the only group buys he hasn't organised

 

Your wish is my command Lee. Been talking to Matt about this for some time now - seems Chill was a little impatient    - but hopefully the below will work out for everyone. Any other group buys you'd like me to initiate?

 

Give me a few more days on the flywheels, think I might have something coming.

Yes please. 

 

Pagid pads.

 

Thanks

Ah but you want four pots, and - for now - I want 2 pots...

it won't be long until  you upgrade

 

As soon as you see your front brakes behind the ATCDSTCSDCSESTSs then you'll NEED new callipers and 308s

You're right though; four pots have already been mooted.

Upgrade to bells and rotors before 4pots IMHO

Come on Lee - where in the above posts has it led you to think I'd do anything by halves?

Pagid probably...

Pagid whats though people?

Depends how aggressive you want to go. You don't get issues with cold breaking with the Pagids as they're ceramic so coefficient of friction is pretty much flat across all temperatures.

[JG]

RS4-2s i reckon thumbusp

 

RS14s a bit more aggressive but more expensive too and most people say they can't really tell the difference
