Capa flash, generic 8psi tune had me running 235rwkw. Never raced, never to the strip, never riding, rarely launched it quickly but she started slipping. Just ordered a mal wood option 3, had planned on further mods, so was expecting this eventually, but not after 30000km with a flash only. Clutch is the fuse in the driveline, just hope the rest of it stands up once I start chasing some serious power. F$%king ford dealer, quoted me $600 for labour to install a clutch. I got quoted Less than $250 by 2 other workshops, but ford already had the car with the gearbox on the floor (I was hoping the clutch slipping might be due to something I could warranty) and were going to charge me $400 to put it back together so I could get it done elsewhere. I lost it! The guy said the best they could do was $420. I said ok, but rest assured, they won't see me again. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastards.The main problem with the price of repairs is INEXPERIANCE, most of the techs in the dealerships need a bomb up their rear! We charge $220 to $250 to fit on of our clutch kits and it takes no more than 3 hours to fit a Flywheel and Clutch to the BA/BF V8 or 6. If Ben and Myself get serious we can fit one in an Hour between us. Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine 2nd hand so the dude before me musta left a fair bita rubber layin around. im kinda glad it happend though coz now I know that part of my car is brand new. nothing like a clean start wif some new parts. I sware that the longer I own this thing, the newer it gets! anyways goodluck with it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommend it, especially considering ford want about the same money for the standard unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
