Clutch is finally slipping really bad to the point where it's time to change. I knew this day was coming...

Already have GT2 slave conversion parts and anxious to do that.


Going to get either ClutchMasters stage 3 or the beefier Sachs disc/PP to hold power and keep it DD'able (this is my only car for now). Already have LWFW installed too.

Also gonna get the EVOMS inlet piping since they just dropped their price by over 50%!

Funds are fairly limited at this time, but what else would you guys consider doing while the tranny is out and labor is already done?

Thanks.

 

Dave,
I would do a LWFW if you think you can stand the noise.

 

Oh, I have the LWFW already. Thanks Mike.

 

I cant think of anything else that would be more convienient to do while the tranny is out. Save some extra $ to install those inlet pipes. They are a real PITA but worth it!!

 

i would do the ATS clutch , if your thinking that you may mod more for power . and when they are broken in , they are very drivable.

 

Dave,

I'll offer you the option of driving my car with my new clutch to check it out.

Just let me know if you want to arrange a test drive.

Rich

 

I still have my clutch parts for sale if your interested.

Yeah it's what I've been waiting for for awhile now! I am sick of that damn accumulator too.

I am thinking I will eventually need more power to be happy if I keep this car long term, but I just can't swallow that price right now.

Thanks Rich. I may take you up on that offer but I will have to do it soon. You have GT2 slave already, correct?

Thanks but I think I am gonna go brand new.

 

Yes - I have the GT2 conversion. Call me if you want to set up a time.

 

are you referring to this?

You might consider this cheap mod. Check it out.

I have the Stage 3, after break - in it takes a little getting used to but the bite is great!

That was going to be my suggestion... Good choice! I got mine for $500 used and about a year ago. Putting them on in the next few weeks....

I wonder how they were able to drop their price 50%? Was it manufacturing costs came down or they already made their initial investment thus anything above and beyond is gravy? Regardless... we will probably see more and more ppl using these pipes in the future due to the new lower price point.

 

Link won't transfer (their site won't allow it for some reason) but I assume you are looking at the inlet piping kit with plenum for $895. That's what I am referring to.

That's not a bad idea. I will show my mechanic this. Thanks for that!

I have heard lots of good things about the CM Stage 3, but I only heard bad things from local P-car guys, so maybe it's a NorCal thing.

I just got a great deal on a new Sachs kit today good up to 650-700whp so I am gonna give that a go.

[quote=str8blst;2774775]Oh man, I have been complaining about that for a while. I mean, it's a bunch of hard plastic. And no one else has made an affordable alternative. S Car Go makes carbon fiber piping but that's more than $2k for a set and I don't like the vulnerability of that material in the area it is in. And I'm not a fan of the dryer vent hose type stuff either. So this price drop was perfect timing for me.

And yes their R&D costs on this product was sunk and recouped many many moons ago... I cannot even imagine the margins they get on this product. But hey, good for them. They created a great part, sold it at a premium for awhile (rightfully so) and then dropped the price as they see competitors making prototypes. Kudos to EVOMS for that.

 

Missed this! Thanks for the offer Rich. I still wanna see your car soon, once mine is actually okay to drive more than a couple miles.

Got my sachs clutch and inlet pipes on order and the GT2 slave parts right here... and I finally got my new R compounds on OZ wheels to fit today with Enrique's 7mm spacers. This mess has got to come together at some point!

Let's do a drive soon!
