I'm also running a Jim Berry clutch, and I have no qualms about doing it. The man knows what he is doing, and builds damn fine clutches. They sh*t all over the likes of some 'reputable' brands such as exedy. Good jap brands such as OS Giken, etc, sure, also great clutches, but my Jim Berry was far cheaper, more suitable for what I use it for, and drives like a stock clutch.

And speeking of rotaries, it looks like a super fast one might have decided to play for the Road 8 sprint championship . But even if he wins the last 2 rounds I should have him, as long as i get a half decent result in both.

Actually FD was 1 of the option when I was buying this car but seriously, the reputation/rumours rotary has made me steer away from them. The sleekness of the car is just so sexy.

Get my msg CoLin?

Yeah I'll let you know. Probably not keen so early. I hate getting up that early on days I don't have to

If this is that proposed morning touge, I didn't get one , but still possibly keen...

[Brandon]

No need for retail when you have people selling on the forum! Anyway just go on Nengun and check. Probably close to 3k delivered.

Steer away with rumours?? ey....

They have to be the best designed sports car ever made in the last 30 years. The engine is great....the handling is 2nd to none. Every engine has a downfall if people don't look after them.

sounds like you're enjoying the 180 too much

3k! jesus!

is that 2nd hand one including flywheel? cuz it doesnt look like it..

If Exedy was such a shit clutch why do they have world wide branches world wide and manufactures choose their clutches to be used in factory produced vehicles..

Daikin has been in the market for years and still goin strong..

exedy only gets a bad name from people floggin off fake shit that looks like exedy but not.. even NPC use exedy internals but they use their own clutch case..aswell as people choosing the wrong clutch for their application..

generally most people dont understand that its reccomended to do around 500km's of soft driving before u start to punch it.. its generally the same for the carbon clutches but they need to be at specific operating tempretures before it starts to work since its a specifc racing clutch.

Exedy/Daikin OEM clutches are terrific and do a fantastic job at what they are designed for. Their performance range however is a little sub par IMO. You are of course entitled to yours.

And just because a lot of people use something, that does not mean it is good, it just means people are sheep/stupid. I have found in my experience a great many people are both

Yea now that I know more, the engine rebuild after 100,000km probably is a rumour but still not very sure on fuel consumption (which is very much dependent on the driver). With occasional boosting mine goes for 450km per tank.

But yes, the looks of them is just amazing but still I would take a black 34 vspec over them.

I'd love one as a dedicated track car or weekender. Not a daily though

Just check Nengun for ya. Almost 2.5k delivered and it does include flywheel (which is why I thought its a good choice, save mucking around). Dont know about the 2nd hand 1 though. He mentioned its brand new and never fitted (car was stolen) so I would assume it comes with everything as a package.

[astrotristan]

yeeeh sorry i just checked the nengun site too

Yeah I can't say i heard about that one. Most sports car aren't good on fuel, 450 out of a tank is not that good really.
