hellaflush watch! <3

nice :)

SSR Profs aren't as good as Work Meister S1 3Ps, in that the profs aren't modular wheels.

the man speaks truth

haha pwnd hard. i still find it hilaaaarious that none of the boys sporting skittles coloured fibreglass speedboats and big fuck off shiny mods never get done so hard, yet you, mr under the radar with tasteful mods for super hektic trackdays only gets shafted.

ahahahah :down:

exedy single plate button clutches are cheap and will do the job

HDBC HHDBC or HHHDBC

i run an HHHDBC and for the price it's an awesome bit of kit... not the best for a daily driver, but quite livable when you are used to it.

The one I've got now isn't too bad. Absolute killer in peak hour traffic but a good clutch for launching and shit :down:

Wouldn't mind something a bit softer..

How much would one of those clutches cost me? Gotta watch my spending. New gearbox is gonna be $1500+ and I figure I may aswell chuck the new clutch in at the same time.

isn't this your first manual? wear out your existing clutch before you go upgrading. why are you upgrading g/box anyways?

~$700 i spose....

i got mine wholesale but cant get for others :down:

the organic one that krysisisyysisisiu has in his car is lighter and only a few dollars more, but wont hold as much torque... bu i think you'll find that the MR2 wont need more than an HDBC

kris' feels like lead after being used to my stock clutch tho so depends on what u consider light lol

Nah, not my first manual. And my clutch is stuffed. My mechanic said I need a new one and seeing as I'm changing the gearbox it would make sense to do it at the same time.

I'm not really "upgrading" mine. Just getting a replacement. Mine is shagged beyond repair.

Yes I do. Shoot me your email address and I'll send you a copy of my 2009 itinerary (I didn't do so much in my 2010 trip.) Don't bother buying a Japan Rail Pass unless you're crossing Japan, you won't use it enough in Tokyo to make it worth it.

Yeah, it's true. The only other carsy stuff we did in Tokyo outside of Autosalon was Toyota Mega Web and History Museum (the history museum is free and worth it to see some rare cars.) Super Autobacs Tokyo Bay, make sure you visit the upstairs bookshop for rare Japanese sales brochures, manuals, magazines, books and posters on nearly any car you can think of. Nismo Factory, don't bother, you can't really see anything and they have more merchandise on sale at Autosalon.

icic

imho just get an exedy HDBC as they are the cheapest performance clutches worth installing

not the best for daily but good for motorsport aplications. nothing fancy to make it driver freindly... just a button clutch.

will take the power your car will be puting down

nothing special, but finally bought rims for the rolla again......bolt on flares here we come :down:

how much did shipping end up being? Obviously not the initial $1200 quote :)

haha costed me $220 all up with rims

his sending them to a depot in LA where ive got a mate that brings in his stuff from there

get the button if you want to do track days or drive it hard. i have a HHDB (i think, might be 3 Hs) and when i went to the SAU drag day it was faultless. punished it all day and it didn't complain one bit.

took a bit of getting used to, but now i love it.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
