"no horses"...



thats the lolworthy wet run!!!

heres the best dry run...

---

listen out for the revs hanging as the clutch gets raped!

---

Kevlar XUD clutch? Yum yum!

not much good?!

[mcglynn]

Ive done about 6k on mine and it looks in better nick than that. They way I seen it was the rivets were of a softer material than the pressure plate and would surely just wear down.

Not sure what to do with mine now ill fire some pics in for comparison

[Piggy]

CG just emailed again. Saying theres no way thats only done 2000miles unless it was hard miles from the word go. They said it should still run but its up to me basically.
They can do a full rebuild of it for £69+£11.75 return postage.

Not sure what to do....sell on, if Ash still maybe wants it and use the £80 to just buy a brand new one or get this one refurbed they offering a dual friction clutch setup, same power handling as the paddle, but better for daily use, £228inc vat

[mcglynn]

Hmm id say go for a refurb mate and use away?

Asni say mine done 5-6k or so, 280lbft from the word go and a lot of stop/start driving to uni and back.









Thats both sides, the pressure plate and the whole lot. Think I pictured the worst rivets but as I said a good few hard miles. Very doubtful that has only done 2k.

[Piggy]

yours looks ok to me...

just take glaze off with some 800grit and get it back on I would!

[mcglynn]

Well at least it gives you an idea how they last after 5-6k

[Danny2009]

It's done 2k I put the clutch in and took it out the same car

Sent you loads of pictures an you was happy and happy to receive it at the meet after I showed you it

yeah man, I know you sent some pics, just couldnt see the wear on them. I dont want this thread, or any public thread, to be a slating on you pal. You sell good parts to loads of us, me in past too, all happy. Just when I was about to throw it in me boot, few guys were like, "crap thats fubared"....so its my inexperience I guess

[Danny2009]

I don't see how it can be f*cked it held 290lb ft dno proven not just a guess

It didn't slip or judder

If something's f*cked or Dosent work how it should it gets chucked in the boot and scrapped with the car

I'd made a grand profit off the car I didn't sell it because I needed the cash I even knocked £50 off the price to match what a new plate would cost

Like to think im a fair seller not in it to rip people off

[Dum-Dum]

Not to particularly wade in on this buyer/seller dispute you need to remember how hit and miss the quality of CG stuff is, sometimes it'll happily last thousands of miles and do a great job and sometimes its made so badly it doesn't even work to start with.

[Poodle]

Jonny's is the same, he got his off a guy who had done less than 2k with it and it looked like that.

Thats interesting.

I'm playing the "feel sorry for me" role with CG, mentioning their new materials and their old ones being crap, trying to get discount from them on refurb

Oooo and thankyou Sam...

I meant more along the lines of what are they doing in the refurb?

Replating the paddles? Skimming the pressure plate? Respringing the pressure plate? New bearing? Lol

[procta]

[devils_fuel]

Looking great james, credit to you and your OCDness

[Danny2009]

Just mtfu and get it on

[Piggy]

The second tech who emailed me said something wasnt right and it was my risk to fit the clutch the way it was. He said it would hold, but perhaps only for a few more hundred miles as it would begin overheating with the rivets touching the pressure plate so much
