Nice one dude!

 

Should make it a bit quicker along that road, make sure you sort the brakes out though or you will be seeing probs from that road on the left :p

 

;) Hurry up and finish yours rob so we can have a "singles" night :D

sounds good but the wee beastie will have to stay with neil for a couple of days so I will be without wheels :( and have to head home by train at some point :blink: Ash know where the garage is, so hopefully I'll catch up with you both at some point ;)

Congrats on the kit!! Remember to add some fuel buddy so you aren't trying to find a good deal on pistons and machine work. :)

 

Did you get the OS Giken Twin or Triple?

 

FYI - the triple has a VERY VERY heavy pedal pressure. The Twin is not as bad, but still heavy. If you have traffic I do not think you will like it much.

 

Cheers,

 

Dusty

Thanks Dusty :) I went for the twin plate as mine has started slipping. I'm lucky as my car's a weekend toy I never drive in London!

What's your power goal on the car? The twin is rates to 650 if I recall correctly. I assume you want less than that? What size turbo?

I eventually want around 800hp at the fly the clutch I went for was the strongest version of the twin plate (Supra JZA80 2JZ-GTE Aluminium cover, Twin plate clutch, pressure of cover 10700N-m).

 

The turbo is the HKS T51 Kai :)

 

Turbo specs are here: - http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=818&rsku=4656

I'm very familiar with the HKS T51 - no specs needed. ;)

 

On full boost, your clutch will give out eventually. You should be good for a while though, especially since you do not put many kilometers on your baby.

 

Looking forward to the dyno!

 

Dusty

 

I thought you would be mate :)

 

I'll maybe think about the RPS Carbon Carbon as a replacement when it goes then! ;)
