Screech Autoworks DIY 86

hey steve when you put your new clutch in did the pedal get harder and also did the travel distance in the pedal increase..
because i just brought the same clutch and i havnt put it in yet and i am just curious on what it will be like to drive..
oh and does any one know how you can tell wether it is a heavy duty or standard because the one i pulled off my car looks the same..

p.s it is a exedy as well..

ta ta kris...

[screech]

the pedal felt exactly the same, it was not harder to push. but the friction point where its starts to grab changed, mine used to be right at the top if i rested my foot on the clutch it would slip. this one is nearly half way down in pedal travel and has free play up top. while they would look the same the diff between a standard duty (SD) and heavy duty (HD) is the stronger pressure plate.

a HD pressure plate provides more clamping force on the clutch plate but not so much that it becomes harder to push through our hydraulic clutch systems. you get the hard pedal feel when you go into the ceramic puck, brass button, multi plate competition type stuff. i think they are a little over board for our humble 4AGE's

An Exedy clutch can be identified by the SD or HD after the model no.
mine is a TYK-6319HD toyota 200mm sports clutch kit

oh ok coolies thanks for that..
my part num is different its is tyc-553hd

[screech]

ok then. as long as it works.

i just finished fittin my T 18 rear end now, and im not so happy. it works fine but the standard ratio is not 4.1. its not even 3.9.

ITS 3.7 !!!!

after doing the same measurement to the s series, the s came out at 3.9, while the T is around 3 and 3/4. that means less acceleration, more top speed.

im chasin a TA 22 diff centre to rectify this prob.

Nic e car mate, well done, i like the gauges.

[screech]

thanks mate.

I went drifting last nite at Oran park twilight nite, i was having a good session when the guy who runs the event approached me and told me that he wants me to battle another car for 4th place.

(they are picking 4 people from each practise nite to go into the masters 16 eliminations battle on June 24)

i asked the guy who he wanted me to battle. he turned around and said 'the black mazda RX-7'. it was a series 4 RX7 convertible with a 13B turbo with about 200 -250 at the wheels.

i led first battle and linked the whole track, but i heard his BOV going off and it sounded like it was inches from my car. the second lap was a shocker for both of us, nothing special here.

i was told that during the first lap i was very sideways while the RX7 was trying to overtake rather than drift behind me. i was also told that we were very close to having an accident mid track.

i was announced the winner of the battle for the 4th spot in the masters qualification, did a massiv burnout on track and left a very happy boy.

i will have pics within a week, (i brought my photographer along last nite) he said his film has to get done in sydney, so i wont see the pics for a week. when i get them ill post em up.

Go screech!!!!!

That's awesome congrats.

[slide86]

congrats man
waiting for pics

[screech]

im spewin, the pics from the drift day did not turn out good at all. wasnt too happy.

anyhow, i went looking for a sponsor today. got nowhere. they all seemed interested in putting the sticker on the car but none wanted to supply parts in return.

it must be the new style of sponsoring,

"ill give it to you at cost price" is what i got every where.

thats not sponsoring, thats what you do for your mates. there is one business left to reply to my request, i wonder what he'll say?
