Have you sbc clutch guys experianced this? The SBC TZ also has the best price right now it looks like.

Karlo has/had(?) a SBC DXD-C that didnt last very long . . I think he was daily driving with it.

I havent put enough miles or launches on my SBC and Unorthodox flywheel combo to give accurate feedback. It does clamp like a mofo though

It may be a sad day when this car returns, my thoughts and prayers are with the 3s community in the hopes that this automobile returns without looking like an extra from 2Fast2Furious.

Actually, now that I think about it, it clamps TOO much.

When I back it out of the garage, or if I only want to move the car a small amount forward & when releasing the clutch, parts of the driveshaft / driveline shake when it grabs. Enough to make the car shake . . . I know Ahmed has/had(?) this same problem too, but I cant remember if he's running a SBC.

Thanks for all the input guys. I pritty much got every thing decided and just need to wait right now.

Scott, I hope I won't need sunglasses to be able to look directly at your car? I don't wana see some neon orange color or somting like that.

On a side note I made my last car payment today, the fat bitch is actually mine now hehe. Soon she'll have a nice new clutch and will go on a date with Mr. Dyno, hehe.

Karlo was mistaken, there ain't a damn thing wrong with his clutch... he had bad plugs causing a hesitation in the low RPM bands. My DXD-C is holding strong, although, the car has been down for blown turbos more often than not. You are right, it grabs like a mofo, but, when the turbos were working, I daily drove it. I actually got used to it, and i can get it to slip a bit when I want to, though I am glad I did not go with the fidanza as well... the fidanza combined with the stage 3 clutch on the NA is an iron clad bastard to drive.

I guess I'm busted, though, its not looking like an extra, but like one of the main cars!

You may want to have a set of shades around just in case! For what its worth, I saw a mustang painted my color in corpus christi, I thought it looked pretty damn sharp.... TRUST ME

Hey fuck off! I STILL think it would be hilarious to have a pink sports car... you'd have to be sure you were the fastest damn thing around though. Think about it...

If you get beat by another car... you give the thumbs up and take your licks...
If you get beat by a pink car... you have to kill yourself.


I'm secure in my masculinity and all... but I still couldn't bring myself to do it. Hell, I get enough flak for wanting to paint my TT purple. (flame suit on)
