Hey guys looking at clutches lately for the t5 and im tossing up between these any help would be awesome?? Cheers

1. a sunbury brakes kit with a heavy duty assembly and organic plate and a new billet lightened flywheel apparently these clutch kits are hsv spec so 10.5 inch (apparently) .5 inch larger? Around $640.

2. Xtreme heavy duty with organic plate rated to 1050kg clamp load. $385

and 3. A heavy duty exedy kit with organic plate. Rated to 1100kg clamp load. $385 Now im a little dissapointed in my last exedy which was a heavy duty and that only lasted me less than 2000kms due to not much driving in the last 8 months and the whipple going on.

did look at npc but they were just interested in selling me a cushion button. Didnt want my t5 going off like a grenade though so thats a no.

didnt end up getting the brothers t56 either. He ended up selling it. So now just making do and getting the car drivable. Ive been doing some bits and pieces so updates soon.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Cheers immortality. My plan is ive got the whipple for down the track as well as having a bit of fun now but the big plan is a 355 cuber and jam some more boost into it. But first iron out all the wrinkles.</p>

Very true.

Well guys havent updated for a while so at the moment slipping clutch is totally sucking at the moment sorced a new flywheel and organic single plate clutch from sunbury brakes for 650 so that is going to be the first thing to sort out and for that price i think thats not bad. Been looking at a t56 conversion too seeing as my brother just brought a magnum to go into his ute. And his normal t56 is sitting in his shed atm?????   

Oh ive slowly been sorting out a cold air intake going for some nice polished bits of alli tube into a box in the wiper box corner thinking a plastic box but not 100% yet. Those mace boxes are overpriced i think. So i thought why not have a go.

Still have to sort out a proper catch can. Can smell fumes after an hour of driving. Thinking of battery to boot and putting a big 4 litre catch can there.

Then i want to get her retuned.

Been real busy lately so havent been able to drive it at all and havent had 5 mins to myself. And havent had much coin all been going on bills lately. But tax time is coming up???  

oh and my odometre stopped ha ha it doesnt end. Probley forgot something too.    got to love it.

Yeah will be a sad day for both holden and ford the day they shut down. (Both will probley have museums in their honour). But yeah that will be the next powerplant conversion just more expensive than a lsa.

Nice wheels i considered the walkys when i was looking at my fr1s now there are heaps of frs getting about around my local area. They are a sweet looking wheel.

Hey gary how low does your exhaust and mufflers sit from the ground. Looking at having a go at my own exhaust. I reckon il stick with twin 2 and a half inch though over 3. I just went over your thread again looking at how you did yours and turned out pretty awesome especially been able to say you did it yourself.

Hey guys not much to update just took the family for a lil drive this weekend went out for lunch. And the first time my lil one has been in my car since she was born and she was great slept most of the trip. I got some pics just to show off the anthracite grey.

also found a couple rattles in the passenger door which il attend to one day.

Hey guys what clutches are the supercharged guys on here running on their t5s or get rags???? Brand? Ceramic organic? Button? As I’m looking at some at the moment and want to get something good but want it to last. And want it to take a bit of torque.

[jlssParticipant tasvr ss View build HERE Member since: May 7, 2015 Posts: 155]

Cheers Gary and i dont think its much worse than when it was na HDNO5L.

My coolant temp has lowered to almost nothing since i installed the au thermos. And with whipple being w2a intercooled i guess that helps but so far havent been  for a long drive (over say 1hr 30mins) yet and my au’s are only running on half on my adjustable fan controller.

So i guess its going well be better once i get a bit of cold air into her instead of soaking up that bay heat. Might be going for a 2 hour cruze on the weekend if the weather is good so might know a bit more by then about the temp???

Well guys got a mate at bursons to sort me out a throttle position sensor and wolla my idle problem is sorted idles beautiful around 800 the old one had a split pastic surround. Still maybe a lil high but im gussing its through the tune. So i took her for a spin on the weekend and loving it.

Some small issues are where my mechanics ????? put my temporary catch can its blowing fumes straight back into the air filter throttle so going to move it behind the strut tower coming weekend. Then im going to look at making something for a cold air intake and get the filter down in that washer bottle corner. And a new clutch but that can wait i hope???

Oh and gave her a lil polish too.

???

Tuff. They should of came of the showroom floor like that. Ha ha. Nice notice you went with the clear headlights and indicator lights. They really make the front look sharp.

[jlssParticipant tasvr ss View build HERE Member since: May 7, 2015 Posts: 155]

Yeah might look at a longer spring and a differnt anchor point but will try that idea of making it adjustable Gary see how it goes.

[jlssParticipant tasvr ss View build HERE Member since: May 7, 2015 Posts: 155]

Cheers vs manta. Just went and took a pic of the new spring thats on it now and some others i brought but too much tension to get them on.

[jlssParticipant tasvr ss View build HERE Member since: May 7, 2015 Posts: 155]

Hey guys got another spring this week and fitted it up. Bloody tight i must say. Started the car and loving it. Idle nicely under 1000. Around 750 maybe a lil more. Then drove out my driveway got 500m down the road and clutch at a intersection and idle back up to 1500. Im starting to think a tps sensor so im ordering one this week. Hoping it will fix the problem.

Ha ha if not il buy a new stang.    ha ha. What do you guys think of the new mustang?? Been seeing a few of them getting about lately and i dont mind them.
