i have a couple of better offers than those, just need to make my mind up

 

Kev, where did you get the discs and bells from?

F

 

direct from Prodrive, the bells are Alcon, discs are AP

 

I've seen those calipers on ebay...

F

 

just had a look and you're right, mine were half that price though

 

Looking good Kev, when/where's it going to be seen in action?

 

Bucks fizz

 

can't stand the stuff



next month or so Tony

 

clutch has gone again they're a consumable, aren't they? not lasted 1000 miles i don't think

 

Your kidding!

Put an AP organic in there and forget it.(or the Exedy from API)
Graham

 

Kev,
Exedy from API is still going strong on my own car after track time and full bore 1/4 launches, either a great statement about the clutch or a damning condemnation of a lack of power for the effort I put in
Andy

 

it's a Lateral Organic with an Exedy cover, just thought it would last a bit longer, started to slip in 3rd tonite on the way home

 

awiating a delivery from Farnells today, otherwise another wasted weekend coming up gearbox might get fitted in a weeks time hopefully, it's all getting last minute again

 

Hope you manage to get it all together in time Kev..

 

Kev, let us know what the condition of the clutch is like when you remove it please?

F

 

will do nothing's turned up so it's the motorbike's turn for TLC this weekend

 

the gits at Farnells have decided that my item is now 3 weeks out of stock

 

Use RS instead.
Graham

 

i'll have a look around tonite, shame as they were very cheap and free delivery

 

didn't find anyone anywhere near as cheap as farnells so i'll just have to sit it out for a couple of weeks


gearbox is almost ready to be built back up, should have the new 3.9 pinion shaft swapped over for the weekend or early next week, then hopefully gearbox in the weekend after *fingers crossed* will have a decision on suspension in the next week too

 

I've still got a secondhand Exedy Organic in mine. 60+ good launches and 12k+ miles and no signs of slip.

When the time comes I will replace with another Exedy Organic. Excellent clutch.

 

did you break the gearbox Kev or just changing the drop gear etc..?

 

syncros have gone i reckon, bitch to get into gears 90% of the time, so thought i'd upgrade while i was at it, with the new ratios i should get somewhere inbetween RA & UK ratios, so longer 5th and will need one less gear on the strip



i reckon this clutch has done under 1k & how ever many launches i did at elvington that wet & wild weekend

 

Kev:

Here's a surprise!

It was slow, but room for development.

Graham

 

keep me informed on how it's turning out



i shall be building my gearbox up this week ready for fitting next weekend, big thanks to SCOOBYCLINIC for sorting me out my 3.9 CWP and swapping the gearset over another DCCD centre diff should turn up this week to fit to the new box instead of having to remove the one off mine at the time of fitting (i get my money back so it just saves a bit of time)

now, do i fix the old gearbox up (new syncros etc.) and sell it refurbed or do i just sell it as is?




ps - check out the new Scoobyclinic ad in the latest Jap mags about to hit the shelfs, i did it if you talk to them, say you love the new ad, i might get some more stuff off them

 

got as far as bolting the new bevel gear onto the front diff and inserting the pinon shaft into the casing when i read the PDF and it mentioned the drive pinion shims and im not sure if i have enough or too many to make the proper contact between the two gears seeing as i've 2 completely different gears to when it was spaced properly <retires to the drivetrain forum to ask the question>

 

Where did you get the wheel nuts from mate?

Mine are getting a little worn.

 

the US not upto the compomotive quality, bit rough around the edges but for 20 quid, they aint bad

 

Any link?

Also, are they available without the 'bling'

 

Sweet...
