a friend of mine, Wade, who is an apprentice mechanic who also helped me with my clutch, custom designed it for me. It cost a bit because of the mandrel bent piping (I didnt want to take any shortcuts). I guess I could ask him to get one made up for you if you wanted.

Hey Leigh, how much did the airfilter kit cost you or, how much is it worth if you'd rather keep secret your mates rates.. Smile

Vlad:
I paid my mate $200 to help me fit it. we stayed up all night in our own time. And it was the first time we pulled the gearbox out, but if we had to do it again it wouldnt take even half the time.
Dave @ RPW told me it was 50% more stronger then the original, and it had 5 pucks.

-------------------------------

ellusion: I used a K@N pod.. that was about $120 and the 3 inch mandrel bent pipes were around 300 or so, when we just got it welded up and cut to fit. The pod is right in line with the fog light. And stayed ICY even after the night of drags!

50% and 5 puck.........WTF?
Dave quoted me 450 for the 25% and 3 puk.

the one im getting is a 5 puk with a 40% more clamping force.

Its a heavy duty organic clutch plate.

I'm seriously doubting that it has a 50% clamping force.

If i payed uze, can u do it for me?

I want to see if there is a problem with the gearbox aswell. I dont want to give it to a mechanic, because they are going to charge heaps and might say there's something else wrong.

Thanks alot. Are you sure the RPW clutch is 50% pressure rating with a 5 puk?

Leigh · Joined: 28 Jan 2003 Posts: 51

yep its 5 puck, cos I put it in, but 50% I'm not sure, thats just what dave told me. and it is a hell of alot strongerthe before, got massive torsion springs too compared to the oother one.

just talked to my friend and he said he didnt want to do anyones who he doesnt know. just incase something goes wrong, and he doesnt have a leg to stand on, legally.
