Guest Guests Posted 16/12/08 06:41 AM Share Posted 16/12/08 06:41 AM I know of an AP twin plate that just got let go for $2500 fitted. Had lowish kms & all machined etc. There is definitely good deals to be had for us folk that don't work offshore & have bucket loads of cash like Tocchi!

Still would have liked to hear that they would honour the warranty . Anyway you may as well take the opportunity to get a decent clutch set up now.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 16/12/08 12:49 PM Share Posted 16/12/08 12:49 PM Maybe not for everyday drivers but "enthusiastic drivers" may not hold up Like that guy who took it to the drags and broke a tailshaft using launch control.Or Tocchi... going threw 5 sets of tyres by 11k km Apparently people hear noises from the box also? has that been fixed yet?

Considering that the gear box is a part of the drive line and the tyres have suffered this all in the name of good fun. I think you may be a tad harsh on the FG, there are plenty of people driving them hard with no ill effects.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
