The feeling of a stage 2 mapped car is just awesome  :grin:

Sure you will be even happier with new Pump etc which will be good as when the new power stops being as exciting It will get better again  :laugh:

No graph yet boys Im waiting for Nick to email it to me il upload it on here then.

Chris - Im still running 1.6 fuel pump with no other mods where fueling is concerned lol
Iv been told to add an inline pump and that should be enough. Wonder how long my standard clutch will last I changed it a few months ago but still running dual mass  :laugh:

Tbf it depends how new it is as nick at r tech said his standard clutch took 340 ftlb before it atarted slipping so I reckon a new standard clutch would take 270 ftlb for a few months at least.  :smiley:

Yeah I changed it a few months ago 4 months max.
It should be ok tbh, I dont thrash it off the lights or anything 3rd and 4th are my main gears  :evil: and sometimes 2nd but thats pretty rare.

Im in work until 6 today  :sad: I so want to go and get my car now  :laugh:

my clutch was only 5k old when the car was mapped to stage 2, and lasted 5k at stage 2 before dying, so only 10k miles on it in total!

Jamie, I hate to be annoying man, but off the lights isn't what will kill your clutch, it's higher gears, 3rd upwards that will make it slip.

mine started slipping in 5th only at 3k when overtaking on the motorway where load is at it's highest, then over time it started slipping in 4th, then 3rd, then eventually second by the time it was fully mullered.

Ohh dear lol

Not a huge job though, I guess its what happens when more power is wanted so if it needs doing itl get done. No point moaning about it and how much it costs blah blah blah I always knew I would need a solid fly wheel conversion anyhow so this would be my excuse.

yea man, just drive it how you want and deal with it when the time comes!

Some people get lucky and they last for ages, some don't.

Just bare in mind it's high gears and low revs that kill it, you'll never kill the clutch revving it out to 6k in each gear and thrashing it, it's crusiing at 3k in 5th and nailling it to pass a lorry that'll make it slip!

pretty easy job to change when you need to as well, it's a mornings work, and the parts are cheap :)
