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)

[Birds]

Paul ffs

Put your key in the ignition

Turn it

Sit in the seat

Drive the car

[paulr33]

pretty sure ive been doing that ?

[Birds]

Keep doing it

[paulr33]

yes boss

should i sell it ?

[paulr33]

sif im gonna sell it..... fiddle sticks

in other news, start back at uni in a few weeks

two nights a week

brain going to melt

[Sunkist]

There's a company that makes them it was one of the first things I did and best things I did very highly reccomend you do it and drive the fkn thing

[Odium]

Are evos designed for smaller statured folk like myself?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

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

[paulr33]

thanks for tip, re seating lowering kit, never heard of such a thing till now

[paulr33]

binary engineering

[Leroy Peterson]

paul, you need a build thread.

...on EvoOz.net

[paulr33]

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

[Miguelone]

Subis have high seats too, is it because they're based off run of the mill passenger cars not sports cars? At least the Lib has an adjustable drivers seat height

[KURAUN]

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

[viper2002]

Damn, looks like I won't get my car back for another week (was meant to pick it up today). The rear reo wasn't included in the initial part order, so it's being ordered from interstate.

[NutR33]

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).

[kaitoukid]

Rev hang may be an evo issue lels

[Birds]

yes boss

should i sell it ?

Not yet, you still have another month left on Evo visa

[Sunkist]

binary engineering

That's the one.

Clutch issue I never had but prior to buying it I had a new clutch and fly wheel.

Why don't you adjust the clutch pedal position
