Nightcrawler Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 so how did it go? hahaha yeah that was an awesome day. My car was out of action, so MattR and I sat up in the commentary box doing stupid commentating and getting drunk That is by far the best way to do it. Works out to under $100 per person, and you get to do shitloads of runs all day long. We ran out of cars to run and finished early even that day. And cars like Munro's race car and the GT S15 and R34 could come out for some test and tune. Only drawback on those organised type days is it is always only 1 lane - so you can't actually race other cars - which sucks ass, as that is half the fun IMHO. I vote we organise an inter-club grudge match at a street meet when the track reopens - so we can challenge other cars and whip their asses. Especially the Evo guys who like to think their little Mitsi's are better than Skylines ROFL Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/173774-air-drags-re-opening/page/2/#findComment-3194109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madaz Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Brad Fox from adelaide clutch services says the twins dont last that long they just hold more power but the actual ceramic on the clutch plates is alot thiner but theres 2 plates with more pressure thats why they hold more power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/173774-air-drags-re-opening/page/2/#findComment-3194289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Xtreme's single's don't last all that long.. 30-40,000km's before I started to notice mine slipping. It managed 60,000km's before it was completely stuffed and I don't give it a hard time at all. I don't ride it and treat it the way a ceramic should. Bl4ck32's OS Giken twin had as much usable meat as my xtreme 9 puk. Maybe the aussy brand twins are not all that crash hot in the longevity department?

Nightcrawler Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 hahahah lol - in my S15 I did 85,000km before I sold it - the stock clutch lasted 40,000km (then I did upgrades to 200rwkw), next the single plate Exedy lasted 15,000km, next a twin plate Exedy lasted 15,000km (and was absolutely horrible to drive), and lastly the extra heavy duty single plate organic Exedy was pretty much rooted when I sold the car.

Hotwire Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I was just speaking to Todd at Outlaw speed shop. Drag's won't be happening till AT LEAST next year. This was from a guy who spoke to the Manager of the track I believe. I asked if delays were still over the court case and not spending money, and aparently it is no longer the ownership court case that is causing NO money to be spent, but Bob Jane's divorce procedings. Bob has sweet FA money, and she wants half, so this is causing him to spend nothing on anywhere, as he may now lose them to his wife or have to sell them. So there you go, rhumor mill worked overtime again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/173774-air-drags-re-opening/page/2/#findComment-3200310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
