they say it cant be mapped because of it so im unsure

yeah because if it is slipping they cant set a proper full load map (guessing it is a full 3d map)

My own stupid fault. I knew I should have fitted a uprated clutch kit but didnt and tried to save some cash but fitting a new Faactory kit
Clutch is slipping on the dyno as it cant handle the tongue . Most of yesterday spent resurching parts and finding a u.k supplier for an uprated clutch kit.
Exedy uk where next to useless I even gave them the Us Part number to see if their tech deprtment could source parts out of a kit over here.. luckily I have found a U.k clutch specialist in Leeds http://www.clutch-specialists.co.uk/. They list a performance kit for the Bj BUT is rated at stage 3, I dont want it to hard to drive everyday so really looking for stage 1 or 2. Waiting on a call back to see what others they can get as there are other options . Otherwise I'll have to order from the U.S and wait 2weeks for it [/quote]

Black Diamond have a new range & now do a Kevlar Stage 2 kit for the 2litre......Best thing is to ring them directly, they will make to order & have it at your doorstep in a few days! Hope this helps mate

Looked at black diamond Stage one is £300 . ended up buying a kit off the clutch specialist in Leeds Same price delivered for I think is a 6 paddle ( what ever that means) the sales woman said she'll do a bit of research to see if theres a 5 paddle available. Im not bothered as long as I can drive it

ah, on or off...nice clutch to have, but not in traffic

I did specify that I did want it drivable around town as I dont track the car. Sales told me she drives with this clutch and is fine. Reading around the net some say 6 paddle is quite usable around town but some others say not... It must depend on the make of kit?

yep, guess so, they can't all be the same

I bet you can't wait to get it back mate...

Really really cant wait. its been a long ( and expensive) slog.

This is the clutch

Can't wait to see your car up and running

ummmmmmm I might be wrong but why cant you get rid of the MAF with the stand alone ECU as it is going to be very restrictive

[quote="col"]your not having much luck buddy[/quote]

Nope Ball ache ! As I would have had the car back this weekend if it fitted but now Ive got the tuners to order one from the U.S which means its gonna be a 2-3 week wait for it to arrive .

Bad times. Building the anticipation though

Its not looking good for cg motorsport . they are not getting the errnee seal of approval so far.

What,s the story?

eek we nearly bought from them until i decided i had more trust in Competition clutch! next day delivery with no quibble returns policy if it was the wrong part!

hope you get it sorted soon!

Rang twice now, spoke to a guy who swears blind its right. and says he'll ring me back. as he needs to find out why its wrong and listed as the right part on the system.

I will be reminding the of the distance selling rules and the consumer statutory right of 'not fit for purpose' if I have to ring again

good for you, im still waiting for a phone call of them got fed up of waiting and asking so went elsewhere!

Spot the difference ,

1st picture . looks like the new 'uprated' pressure plate looks like its a standard item with groves cut into the friction plate. ?
