my clutch is Helix Dual Plate Organic clutch so i think the clutch itself is ok and if you smash the gearchanges its fine

it only seems to happen when i granny shift (not double clutchin' like YA SUPPOSED TO)

You would think that

I would... and i'm right

yeah thanks, it kinda makes sense - ive got stock seats and std seat positon

i dont feel that the seating position is too high (at least, it seems OK)

but i swear, its as if i dont take my foot of the accel pedal enough (or properly) so its ever so slighty during gearchange, which makes it almost free-rev after clutch in/out

ill do a drive on saturday and log it and see what the logs show, it should show TPS not dropping to 0.30v if my thinking is correct on gearchange

very odd

is there a company who makes the brackets or did you do it yourself?

ay-ay-ron and I both bought them from the same place... some company in the USA... cant remember the name, I found it on the evolutionoz forums

I find one of the most annoying things is the car revs out slowly and drops revs equally slowly... it feels like the flywheel weighs 200kg

I didn't install the clutch, so i'm guessing tis' the stock flywheel

dont plan on building anything.....

just asking if hamish had heard of wierd clutch issues like i described

turns out yeah there might be some background to it, so maybe seat position is part of it

Seating position I lowered with brackets that bolt onto the stock rails. Now i see why you were saying you couldn't see the speedo, it's cos you have the stock seating position.

Stock seat height in evo's is TERRIBLE... It might as well be mounted on the roof for how high you are. Brackets will drop you close to 2"

Clutch wise, who knows... I have an HKS single plate so it's either on or off lol

I never had an issue with seat height...... dat short lyfe

Are evos designed for smaller statured folk like myself?

pretty much, well the jdm ones are anyway

adm have different seat bolsters to fit the bigger build

which one? he apparently made 3

his was the silver, there was a pink one roaming around echuca I think and a 3rd up north blue off the top of my head

From what I saw the pink vl from Echuca was only rwd rb30 but with a 26 head and twins on it, poss a different car, but that was about 10 years ago.

I remember hearing about the 4wd vl back when I was in school ( and that's a f**ken long time ago).

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
