That happened

Featured Replies

Was leaving work the other day in my 120GLS ultimate hoon machine, fairly casually (sideways) when suddenly I lost all momentum. Engine kept running, gears seemed to go in properly, no movement. Took a taxi home and went back to tow the ****box home with my truck.

Engine out and was pleasantly surprised that it was only the clutch that got battered, yet am baffled how this could happen. Despite drifting the thing almost daily, it's all done during winter and on snow/ice, so the clutch shouldn't see too much abuse, never had a clutch explode like this anyway.

Anyone know of any stouter 190mm clutches for a Typ 742 that would fit or do I just grab a new similar one off the shelf and hope the next one won't crap out on me?

The car is Felicia swapped, used to be a regular 136M MPi engine that I converted to carb and dizzy, but I doubt a barely 10hp bump in power is enough to cause this kind of destruction.

Constant shock loading led to material fatigue
