Is your clutch slipping btw and how many kms on stock?
$700 ia expensive IMO. you should better find yourself holidaying in Melbourne and do it here hehehe. my clutch is functioning fine, no slipping or anything at all. Its done 21,000km BTW.
WTF, you dont drive much?????Quote:

Yeh was plannin on getting the hondata reflash, but now i think i am just going to get it greddy tuned down in melbourne if its heaps cheaper. Refer us to some guys who are cheap in melbourne if you can.
I have had this installed for sometime now..almost a month or so i think..
First impression, when I first got in my car from the workshop, I straight went on pressing the clutch, it felt a tat much harder, but it pushes ur foot up heaps quicker. It is not really annoying stiff though. Taking off is a bit harder to not stall the car..it wasnt really a smooth take off at all..
First day I drove the car back home I had to run it in quite a bit so I didnt want to rev it hard...
In the last few weeks, after it ran in, I got a chance to drive it hard. The car revs like crazy.. First gear just went like a second. I was like..whoa..time for 2nd gear already. The car just revs a lot freer and I noticed traction problem in almost the whole first gear if flooring when take off. It is harder to concentrate on the RPM to shift up before the rev limiter comes in.
Even though this model is a silent one, it still has a buzzing whining noise. The noise comes when pressing the clutch and let go of throttle. It sounds like wire metal scratching.. But it is not that annoying loud. I did some research before I bought this and it seemed that almost everyone who got this experienced that noise,. Can anyone who got exedy flywheel/clutch kit confirm they experience the same thing?
Friction point has been narrowed down a lot..its like once you meet the point, the clutch just bite and hold it super strongly..
Installing was a biatch...The whole cross member had to be off..Radiator had to be off.. Passenger side suspension had to be off..Gearbox off..Engine mount had to be off as well... I had no idea how typeG got his done for $300.. It was about +/-8 hours job...
Anyway..Im super happy with this...It is hard to drive it slow now hehehe:p
Hope its helpful..
Sounds good. so you reckon the performance increase is noticeable and worth the increased clutch difficulty?
Faster to 100kph you reckon? Rolling response improved in traffic?
For me it is worth it. Not sure if its because its still new and Im still excited about it. To make the car not stall/take off perfectly, you have to apply a bit more throttle, which Im not sure will you not like it to have a car that sounds annoying (revving) OR you just let the car go quietly but it kinds of jumps and rattles a bit when its near the friction point.Quote:

So damn sure:p Rolling response imporves in traffic YES..but which is annoying. You kind of cant just go easy take off like used to now..the car just wants to jump and jump lol.
Hope it makes any sense...:p
how is it reversing uphill , thats wat i was worried about with mine. and it sucked
I find it not much different from taking off though. But Im sure if you have to reverse in a long way...it will stall really badly.Quote:
