Death Rattle

Well another monthly update, and well a Few things has happened since the last Post after PAS and Panel and Paint.

First of all Car has been at C-Red and got a few things done to it. To Start off the clutch was checked as I found it was slipping at high RPM in the higher gears, such as 3rd/4th. When Roy pulled this out he noticed there was plenty of meat left on it. The reason it was "slipping" was due to the sudden power surge when the turbo hit full boost. So, really only thing that could be done, would be to go a Twin Plate (hence tittle). The clutch that went in was an OS GIKEN STR Carbon Twin Plate Clutch, A little write up below

The New OS Giken STR series can handle up to 600hp, yet retains drivability very close to standard with 30% lighter pedal effort than most multi-plate clutches. By using special new plate and diaphragm designs, OS Giken has achieved ample power handling with just 715kg clamping pressure. This makes the STR series perfect for everyday driving applications, along with most race and drift applications.

The clutches come complete with lightweight chrome-moly flywheel, ruby red-anodised billet aluminium clutch cover and the required bearing/carrier set or pull-push converter kit where required.

Also While in C-Red, A few other goodies were put in. My Defi Sensors were installed with a GReddy Sandwhich plate. KAZAMA castor rods were installed, HID headlights, which I found awesome when I first drove it at night, so much more brighter then stock lights, and definatley look the part.

Another Mod, which I have been waiting a long time for has the TOMEI 2 Way 4.3 ratio Mechanical LSD, This has, as I would call it, is "brendo" spec, due to how pretty it is.

The sensitive L.S.D. will work even when the slightest torque is applied.
Increased ability to transfer power from the engine to the wheels without loss of power.
The power acting on the plates is reduced so that abrasion on the plates are protected.
Increased number of friction plates greatly improves abrasion efficiency and heat capacitance of the plates.
Not only the friction plates, but all parts of our L.S.D. have been improved and made larger, so the overall strength of the main body is increased.

Anyways Pics are below, Look forward to next update, which may incure some suprises!! and thanks to Brendo for the pics below
