How the clutches going?

[BlackVr6ix]

Sad but true. i cant wait to see what difference a 2.5kg flywheel does to the car

i hope its driveable!

[Tim]

haha yeah thats stupidly light. But thats ok. u can be my guinea pig I need to get my hands on a flywheel soon.

[BlackVr6ix]

yeah, im doing the whole lot, new chains, new tensioner rails (they are metal?!?!) new seals, new flywheel, new clutch.

now i just need to steal your lsd and i'll be sweet!

[Tim]

You cant have the peloquin! but.. the 3.94 R&P is up for sale! you'd need to get a TDI 5th tho

[BlackVr6ix]

I wish i had the money! second on the list i promise. why the tdi 5th?

i'm actually looking for some cheap coilovers, seeing that the aussie dollar is looking decent at the moment (and my stock suspension struts are on the way out so i'd have to change them anyway when i install my lowered springs). there are plenty of sets kicking around for ~600aud delivered, i just have to decide which brand.

[MattyT]

KW for the win!

Are y'all getting this stuff installed by mechs or DIY'ing?

[ScienceVR6]

i worked at ultra tune for 3 years, and am still good mates with the owners and staff. They are doing the install at a heavily discounted rate. They are the ones who named me Science!

[BlackVr6ix]

Was going to DIY, but i dont have the time now

at the moment i think i'll get volkspower to do it unless anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative.

Loaded the Golf onto a Tandem trailer on saturday and draged its sorry arse down to Ultra tune to get the clutch done. Dad complained that the Mighty golf was weighing down the LandCruiser on the hills, despite siting on a steady 100km the whole way there. The job gets done monday (as stated previously) and i realy cant wait to get back on the road. ATM im driving my lovley girlfriends Toyota Yaris 1.3 around, and it feels like someone stole half my motor (1.3 vs 2.6! 63kw vs 128kw, the cars weigh the same, well nearly....)

[BlackVr6ix]

VR6 is 2.8 dude hahaha

[BlackVr6ix]

Booyaah!

[jerrah]

205,000km

I replaced my clutch with a Sachs one at around 205,000km but I think it had a little more life left in it if I had taken it easy.

I have 97,000km on my VTR1000 clutch and it slips at around 6000+rpm in the the lower gears.

[ScienceVR6]

VR6 is 2.8 dude hahaha

Oops, my bad. My magna was 2.6, i get so confused.

Its still less than half the size.

Hey Science,

So how is the new clutch & Flywheel?

[ScienceVR6]

its great, though i think i took it to the drags a little too early. still fine though.
