Sparky Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have the centre section which I wont be using again not sure it its worth feck all though, seen better days.Any updates on this mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 might aswell refresh it when its out boys, even if its just simple stuff like timing belt, gaskets, water pump etc. so much easier when it's on a bench, and aint exactly expensive when using oem/blueprint parts. means it's less to worry about when the engine's in.also, achilles? didnt know you were david beckham mate. we should have sex, as you're sexy etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i don't believe that for a moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 just put that exedy in the bin!clearly they am PISH!blueprint FTW!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 blueprint is stock also mate, so yeah, i'd be wary of going anything above stock boost, even coming down to decats etc and performance exhaust.it's a stock clutch with stock clamping pressure for a reason.

Nanglebadger Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 bah humbug, I've just collected mine with a blueprint clutch, and i am RELIABLY informed by a secret man who has only managed to break one by taking it PLUS 300bhp.so long as this holds 200ish bhp i'll be de happies!Phil.

ecksjay Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 if it took more then i imagine that was luck more than anything mate. unless it's a paddle or has an uprated pressure plate, it'll be pretty much stock. so yeah, if you put 200bhp then chances are it'll slip, but im sure you know that anyway.if it doesnt then it'll be down to luck. fingers crossed for you mate.if it does go then you can get cheap paddles these days so aint the end of the world, just additional moneys.

Nanglebadger Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 indeed indeed, it'll do me for all i need now, which is in and out of work.but joz man, DEFINATELY stay away from them exedy bags of guff!!!! they are bad news dude!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I couldn't put it better myself Phil. Not only do they die almost instantly but are horrible to drive with too. I'd recommend the Spec 6 PUK paddle clutch that Tuning Developments sell though, they are really nice to drive with. I have mine around 6 weeks or hard abuse and it had no signs of real wear when I removed it.Idrees@ID-Workz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i'd expect as much after 6 weeks tbh that's almost not enough time to bed them in. ideally clutches should be ran for around 500miles gently to bed them all in, manufacturer recommendations vary but its usually around that.

Jozinobi Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Slight delays are in place at the minute as I've strained my achillies tendon. Painful to move about so it's having an effect on progress unfortunately.At this stage the engine is out of the donor car (cheers Steve) and I'm assessing what needs doing while it's out. Thinking we should maybe go the whole hog and renew the timing belt, headgasket, all worn seals and generally give it an overhaul to remove any question marks.I found an Exedy clutch on there which is getting binned - same unit as Phil's transplant had so I'm not happy leaving it on there at all.Jozman, give me a bell when you get a chance buddy. Need to discuss options. JaySee you bright and early monday in the Costa Jaystar for EP operations. Please give my thanks to Steve for helping with the removal.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did around 2k miles on the Spec one. Think I'm gonna order a new one soon for the new motor.Get well soon Jay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 All I can say is the engine is now getting the full treatment.The suspense is killing me but the wait is going to be well worth it.Thanks for all your help thus far Jaystar and WeeJohn.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
