team ab drag race and street builds

[dsmreck]

ok the clusters are at my local performance tranny shop to get those end bearings off so for the time being anyone want to talk clutches for our cars this year? I will be shifting @ 9-9.5k and not sure about andre yet. he may got less say 8-9k.

i will run drag at pg and do some street driving for sure. My car is not a track only beast yet.

Twin disk for sure. Pick a brand.

Yep, twin disk. You will get some looks on the street because it makes some noise, but works great. Do the clutch slave replacement to give you some more engagement play.

Thanks guys we are for sure going twin I guess the pick one option is the game? We were thinking ptt with high torque plate and metallic disk. I am aware they sound like crap, just want a good clutch at a good price really. Something that I can use on streets and drag race

I used a quartermaster twin disk with HD gear drive disks. I had the bronze ferrometallic race disks in it when I had a 5 speed in the car. I drove it all over and had no driveability issues with it. I also used the competition clutch fork that is clearanced for the twin disk. The engagement was smoother and the pedal force required was less than the old 6 puck ACT that was in the car before. It does sound like you are at a train crossing when you are on decel from speed so you get some funny looks, but It was a good clutch that holds a lot of power.

ok so is the ptt the same thing as the qm as far as the gear drive part?

starting to strip the bay for cleanup, repaint, and some wire tuck.

must have taken out 100 lbs tonight, crazy how much crap you don't need when you really start to think about it. next steps are degrease the bay and start sanding to prep for paint. also considering getting some buckets on the cheap to get rid of the heavy seats. I added up my trans parts from jacks site and looks like ill have $1,400 isn into a rebuild with a 4 spider. kinda depressing but at least i'll know its a good trans. Just never ended up finding that known good trans for cheaper so I guess thats my option. I think i'm going to make up a lexan rear window this year also to save on a little more weight until i get a carbon hatch. other to do is ptt twin disk, 2150's, timing belt, maybe turbo upgrade, 4th rear diff mount, need some diff wheels and tires and all the little things that add up to big money and hope to make pg1

some updates, I have a new trans in route from canada. also I tore apart andre trans and lucky we did as we found a shim inside the center diff just waiting to be eaten up in there. Also his motor is now fully assembled and timed ready to drop in. sorry about the crappy lighting. http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/nickreck/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0260.jpg (http://s1063.photobucket.com/user/nickreck/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0260.jpg.html)http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/nickreck/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0259.jpg (http://s1063.photobucket.com/user/nickreck/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0259.jpg.html)http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t503/nickreck/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0258.jpg (http://s1063.photobucket.com/user/nickreck/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0258.jpg.html)
