Bedding In A New Clutch

Last week i had an Xtreme brass button 5 puck clutch with a 2500lb pressure plate with the stock flywheel machined. Driving it around for the first few days it was very bitey and would shudder quite hard on slow take-offs in first gear with low revs. I have been driving it as soft as i can to wear it in for the first 500km or so. Over the last few days it's become noticably softer and doesn't really shudder anymore. It's really easy to take off softly now with minimal throttle and doesn't seem to bite as hard. It's done nearly 500km now of soft daily driving kms. Is this normal or does it sound like there's a problem with my clutch, by becoming softer like this?

looks like uve bedded it propperly. If u wana test if its slipping or becomming weak. Try dump 2nd or hit 3rd at reasonably low speed. Like go slow then rev 2nd upto a bit higher and let go.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
