The extra nvh is probably from the clutch. My twin plate was pretty bad initially, smoothed out a little after 1500km or so but I'd say yours will be better being organic and ceramic, not just ceramic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't hold the power. That is the best compramise for a car used in heavy traffic. As the plates wear in the pickup point will raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my car is not a high powered car like most others at over 400kw. Stock clutch was not coping well towards the end, but it did well to last this long.

Well this has been doing my head in for a while. It has settled down a bit after 5000km. I just find that the pickup on the clutch is not as forgiving as the stock clutch was. I have been stalling the car quite a bit. The loudness of the exhaust contributes to this as I don't want the car revving to much at take off as other people think I am racing them. I have recently got to the point where I have gone to some exhaust places and I am looking at replacing these suckers with a single one: The other thing I have noticed while I was under there, was this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to get rid of light on dash, Two resonators will flow better than 1. Fyi don't listen to anything I say. I have no idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masda74 To Loud Gold Donating Members 4,112 Member For: 13y 26d Gender: Male Location: WA, Perth Posted 13/02/19 09:32 AM Author Share Posted 13/02/19 09:32 AM so the car hit 112000km last week. what really got me this week was the battery finally gave up. Had to go and get another Century 67EFMF from Supercheap. The last I remember, I got one for $189. Inflation seems to be rising higher than my pay rise. New price of battery is $235. like wtf. Car now cranks over first time every time. only issue that I am still facing now is that the aircon doesn't always work. Every so often I will turn the aircon on and only hot air comes out. I have to pull over and stop. Turn the car off. wait a bit start car and then I get cold air. like wtf? does this mean that it needs to be re gassed? also the cold air doesn't come out as cold as it used to.
