Post by: shaft69 on 10 November 2012, 14:15

105k about 20 runs on rollers and thrashing car quite a lot recently has took it toll, still on original clutch. was running 282lbft tq so done think its done to bad. Going to go with usual g60 flywheel/vr6 clutch, anyone using one of those ultra light g60 flywheels??

Techniclutch seem to have a bit of a bad rep for failures on new clutch kits
