My Vl Turbo

Clutch is fucked..... Dont trust the cushion button plates. SHIT!

what happened?

Put a Exedy Sports tuff 1400kg pressure plate and a valeo cushioned brass button ceramic clutch disk in. I followed the makers instructions did 1000km of normal driving to bed it in. Did 2 hard launchs and one Burnout in 2nd went to 3rd and just slipped and pedal went funny.

and my now fucked flywheel.

Kit cost me $650

Ive sent it back to get cheaked out. I wasnt even running high boost (around 350rwhp) and was rated up to 420rwhp.

Bullshit

Installed a standard clutch so i could get it outa my shed.

What a shit clutch! Slips as soon as boost comes on.

ouch, how much did the install set you back ?

I only put a standard clutch disk in $39. I need to get some money back on the defective clutch kit, before i can afford (inbetween jobs) to get my standard pressure plate re torqued to 3000lbs with a full face organic clutch disk. Wont ever use ceramic again unless im running slicks and i wont be doing that for a while not untill the new engines in.

Im loving your car dude.

Im getting my Caprice ready to sell, cause Im having a major VLT crave at teh moment.

I Love VLs and Iv never had a Turbo one. So im dying for one.
