Amazing for the size of the place. So many dubs around. We should get our own section.

We did do that but the numbers decreased. I blame Shady scaring them off.

Depends on if its going or not. The clutch can go with the monumental amount of torque. Im on the standard flywheel but with a Sachs race clutch. On 340ft-lb of torque with no wobble on the flywheel.

Go for Tuneside or R-Tech. Best remaps out there. I got 175bhp and 320ft-lb from just a remap no other mods. Since then its had quite a bit more done to it.

If the flywheel isn't grumbling after a remap then I would be reluctant to change it. Remap first then pick the pieces up after  :tongue:

Oh you also get better MPG after a remap. Best mod you can do to your car.

Another Yeovil person. Epic! By the way boys and girls, I will be starting up a new monthly meet once I finish my course mid June, seeing as there are so many dubbers about in Yeovil now, we may as well.

It shouldnt be organised. it should be soldered into peoples minds! (Like 3rd Friday of every month, "Place" and "Time") So you dont have to organise.
