202 1 clutch zero LOL did come runner up in our class bracket shiney trophy and some cash even with issues of either the clutch just slipping hard or bogging off the line trying not to fry up the clutch launching. 9.8 was the fastest it ran all day on a lowly 7psi guess the $1000 clutch is getting taken back for reimbursment or replacement .

vb went 0.2 faster than last time 7.2's all day in the fastest class again up against 900hp v8 meth injected mustangs etc LOL vb now has issues of to much power to the tyre at the fast end of the track was skating all over the track looked cool and was ripping massive 3rd gear warmup burnouts

so i picked up the tonner and off to use my mates hoist car wouldnt idle properly and felt doughy on the gas drove off down the road its way down on power feels like driving with the brakes on but rolls good with clutch in hmm no wonder it didnt run good times and kept bogging off the line feels more gutless than N/A .ill get to diagnosing i when i get the box back in cant be much has oil pressure is quiet as hoping its an ignition module failiure or some thing making it pull all the timing out or maybe the wastegate is jamming open or theres a header leak
on to the clutch LOL its um tottally not getting repaired pressure plate is scarred up badly and the clutch plate is shaped like a WOK or a holden hubcap LOL.its heated the solid round sheetmetal plate and obviously the bellhousing side gets colder than the flywheel side its expanded and oilcanned the whole plate so it doesnt even sit flat against the flywheel bad design i feel using a solid plate with no places for stress to go like a full puck with the pucks out on spokes.
