Your mate had a circa 850bhp clutch on a 200bhp car?

gareth c?, didn't he have a lot other problems meaning he never got a decent run ?, this brand, all the top cars run in the us, speed factories civic that runs 7 sec runs one of these but in a tripple plate , its a very heavy clutch and i can see me not doing many road miles in it but that doesn't fuss me as long as it can take the launches

yeah, his obviously wasn't that clutch in specific but was a similar kind of design after he'd fucked 4 pad type helix one. i think thats possibly the reason i fucked my helix 4 paddle at pvs (i got his ttv flywheel and it could of been warped after that or something, had it skimmed and checked now)
he had i think 232bhp or somewhere around that but it just didnt seem to get the rite kind of launch with that new type of clutch on... yours should have the power though i suppose

tbh i dont enjoy driving it on the road , to many muppets out there that drive like dicks and that could fuck the 5 years ive spent on it , it will only be on the road to run the engine back it , tbh if i converted over to a hydraulic clutch pedal it would be a lot better but its just one of those jobs i keep meaning to do

I thought you was running a 7.25 clutch before?
Your ttv 7.25 fly looks alot different too mine?

Oh just realised they do a new style one too now.

It's good to see it will be back on the road again. Seems a shame to keep it hidden away

Whats the purpose of the ABS sensors, I'm assuming you're not fitting ABS anyway!

It will limit boost when traction is lost for a split second to allow grip again
