Its not gna happen again! Just too excited i just couldnt get over how quick these evos are! New clutch coming this week just standard one but if i keep the car may look at one of these twin clutch things. (Bit above bufget at min!)

 

[andyw08]

do your reserch before buying a twin plate, do you use it as a daily driver? they can be heavy and noisey but grip like sh*t to a blanket, iv got a competition clutch in mine and is not bad as a daily driver and grips well, it all depends what bhp your going to try and get out of it

 

[Bdevo]

I was only consudering the twin just for launching everywhere!! Realistically i will change this clutch to abother standard and probly never launch again and hopefully not have to worry about a twin plate for agood few thousand miles. I not planning of ever changing turbo jus remap etc so max 320-340bhp. Need to change wheels also got some 19s on it so will get some more standard 18s this week

 

[andyw08]

if your staying around that power a standard clutch will be fine if your not launching, but even if you get a better clutch launching can break other stuff, what 19's are they? whats your stud pattern? iv got a set of standard 8 enki's

 

[Bdevo]

I dont like them and no idea what they are! I have attached a picture butbthey almost look like ford st alloys?? Fancy a swop? Ive git about 8mm tread left on wheels! They would look good on an e8

 

[andyw08]

I think there a set of lambo replica alloys, ermmm i think id rather keep the enkis to be honest mate....iv got rota gtrs on mine

 

[Bdevo]

Dont blame u lol!! They s##t!

 

[Bdevo]

Dont blame u lol!! They s##t!
