Max Power Member 381 Member For: 22y 4m 18d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 17/06/05 01:21 AM Posted 17/06/05 01:21 AM Since the custom edit, the car has a slipping clutch. It wasnt apparent at 1st but recently Ive been wot at low rpm in the higher gears (3rd, 4th and 5th) and its definitely happening when it comes on boost. Prior to this I dont think Ive ever dumped or slipped the clutch (on purpose) and the car has only done 7,500km.Can the forum members in the know tell me of the upgrade options available to me and how much it will cost? I was hoping that this will cost on or less than $1000. Am I right or way off? Im also hoping that there are stealth options available so I can retain my car warranty.Im located in Sydney.Regards,Max

Save yourself some time - go to their website and buy the 11 inch with steel flywheel. Around $1200 I think.He is an advertiser on this sight- look for his logo and follow the link.

Surely theyve been more of you that have upgraded clutch kits and can offer me advice.And what about the notorious ap racing clutch in the typhoons. Now that theyve fixed the problems, how much are these to get?Max Edited 18/06/05 10:30 AM by Max Power
