There is a 240mm clutch that works right 600+nm......

 

what does FML mean??

 

what clutch is that ?

 

sachs racing....I use it.

 

good to see you yesterday luke,car was going strong as usual. watched every run and couldnt believe the clutch on the last run lol was saying to my mate it sounded like you were wheel spinning in every gear !

 

fml = fuck my life!

 

why not call in luke, sure they've done loads.....

 

Booked in for 2pm

 

Get a dynamically balanced 7.25" ST170 steel flywheel from Toby @ TTV racing and a

7.25" Twin plate sintered clutch from Tony @ superclutch

Problem solved

 

Cossies are 240mm, can't u use whatever a high bhp Cossie runs with a hub to suit your gearbox?

 

Looking at the Clutchmasters twin plate which is what Guy Chamberlin runs on his Civic.

They (CM) owe me a clutch as they assured me this was well upto the job! 2 weeks later its a different story.

I think a twin plate is the only way to go now to rule out any issues when being used for drag runs on drag slicks.

 

I have for sale TTV flywheel...but 240mm .....

 

you think you're wrong ...
but I do not want to have a say..

 

this is my clutch...
run fine 2 years and 80 race...
i use 10x26" drag slicks....

this clutch about 550 pound only....




I am working on clutch manufacturer company..

 

im just sat here and thought i remember you saying on the slicks your 60ft was 1.8 sec before the clutch gave out, if the rest of the run had carried on as your other run did you would of been well in the 11s mate.
its signed and sealed and waiting to be delivered my friend

 

Sorry to here your news Luke but these things are sent to try us i am sure it will soon be sorted what about Helix full paddle it works for me



What torque has this set up held ???

Simon Norris with his 900bhp evo uses superclutch for there drag clutches so I'm sure it will be more than man enough for the job

 

Thats good enough for me simon has put it to good use

 

Luca was it 1,8?

 

There are plenty of drag Foci running single plate setups in the States, most with 500ish bhp.

They do a full face clutch that holds 425ft/lbs at the fly. I have spoken to them before and they will make anything you need. The high power Focus guys rave about them.
Might be worth keeping in mind Luke.

 

Hurry up luke i want to see this car in the flesh !!!

 

Iv recently broke one of these on my Corsa. The input shaft of my gearbox effectively macined out the centre of the friction plate.

 

i two years of use
without problems

 

any news on the clutch situation??

 

Yes mate new clutch arrived on Christmas Eve from America.

All being fitted first week of Jan - which reminds me I need to arrange the trailer.

 

any more info on the new chosen clutch?

 

o yea got the clutch btw

 

That reminds me, I need a camera...

 

A little update -

Car is currently having the clutch installed, along with speed sensors to show speed.

Upon removing the old clutch, we were not really sure what let go so were looking forward to seeing what happend.

Well this is what happend -


Whooooops!

The new twin plate ceramic kit arrived as stated above just before Christmas.




The ITG air filter also was falling apart so a new K+N filter has been ordered, which should be here this week hopefully. This will relocate the filter slightly higher in the engine bay/wheelarch. Then I need to order some new splash guards for the arches.

Few bits to do before its all set for another year.

 

Dont look cheap them mate. would love your job

 

luke your a fucking weapon!!!

Twin plates rattle like fook when theyre depressed dont they?

 

fookin hell mate, that shouldnt happen no matter how much power you are running!!!

i hope you get a refund

Be good to catch up soon buddy

 

I recon that's the last thing he is worried about in a stripped out, caged up race car lol

 

On a track car with a dog box that's the least of your worries!

 

I love it too so keep your C.V well away

Ahahah I blame my mate, last hing he said to m before I launched it was -

"BE BRUTAL"

The straight cut dog kit rattles itself im sure the clutch wont be heard over that. The fuel pump also does my bloody brain in too. Need to stick that under the car at somepoint.

We do need to meet up mate whens TA
