APi engines, ring david and ask about the exedy organic.
he's in harbury, not far from you

Ibiza_Cupra

i will do, my mate needs one for his STI 8 PPP aswell, so will see what he can do

scoobyDAZZA

discount for 2 maybe

there used to be quite a few group buys on here for the exedy organic clutches from david but there hasn't been 1 for ages, he'd still knock you a bit off for buying 2 though

ooooops, there goes my bacon buttieS

Ibiza_Cupra

well i am going to ring him now, will let you know what he says ! hope he is in a good mood lol

me 2

i did 15 HARD launches last weekend and not even a whiff of burn or slip
most of them launches were bouncing off the rev limiter and side stepping as well
and i've got 362 lbs/ft torque
for now
soon to be approx 390/390 and the clutch will still be ok, WON'T IT DAVID,lol
excellent clutch

my "new" clutch has only lasted me 2 years

i dont even think i have done any drag days on this one, i did try to do a hard launch a week or so back while escapeing an oncoming car

and it just slipped like a ****

started slipping in 5th gear last night on the way home from work, complete bag of ****e

I tested out my new launch control software on my STi 9 Ecutek last afternoon with Bob Rawle at the computer. On Proxes 888's on a dry road, we had too much grip at a 6200 launch. ' Get the tyres wet' says Bob. The clutch and driveline took it though. STi 9's are heavy too compared to a GC8 car

2 more full bore launches with the revs pinging at 6200 and the third one was dead right, a small slip of sideways movement on the line and then Kaboom away.

No slip, no anything on the Exedy. Car currently has about 375 hp and 390 ft lbs according to Bob's Delta Dash. We had done some mods and were mapping a new twin scroll set up that should make 400 hp after we get the wastegate sorted in a week or so.

Bob enthused about various aspects of this set up, even though the headline figure was missing. Wait and see the final deal and then the conversion be for sale to any interested parties.
