Fart of the Purniture
Which flywheel & clutch combo have you got Wez?
I mean nothing to do with your turbo upgrade, just which setup did you use initially?
Am I right thinking you had your hybrid MT75 modded for clutch arm pivot point?
Cheers

A little but not much but i have an uprated ap pressure plate with ap 6paddle clutch, I do however have so much more control over it and its now on point and so precise and cos its so heavy on the cable i had to have seat forward alot more to be able to hold it in traffic i dnt now chair has been moved back about a foot lol

I havent given up on turboing only need management and some small stuff but need to make sure i got job sorted and when we know more on mrs health! Been getting friends xr4x4 bk on road after 7+ years off road had a complete strip down and rebuild nut and bolt its now a 3.7 all it needs is base map putting on it then runit in and get it on rollers for proper set up!

Well clutch started slipping and was still relatively heavy so after a little bit of research and discussions with Damo I realised it was the uprated ap clutch cover so I bought a transit clutch and fitted along with the transit pressure plate but this ment moding the fork as the cover is bigger now cluch is so much lighter, will get the ap 6 paddle sent off to ap to be relined at some point.

Took car out for a blast begining of month to bed clutch in and had noise from rear pass side after having a look we couldnt find anything obvious was drive shaft location and as the pass rear cv's were old i ordered new ones and replaced at same time i noticed diff weeping and it has whined for the last 6years or so it has always had oil so I Ordered diff overhaul kit (all bearings etc) to have it sorted after classic ford.
