Looking forward to getting my Quaife. If only next week comes sooner.

If you ordered a Quaife, hope that you sprang the extra for the bolt set to fit it....

Just a quick update - Done approx 100 miles since the clutch & SMF were fitted.

The first gear judder is definately getting better (or am I getting used to it???).

Pedal feel is lighter - very OEM.

Shifting up thro' the gears & it feels very responsive & eager to rev. (Need to have more self control!! Found myself getting carried away a couple of times!!)

I'll have a another 400 miles done this weekend. So, it should be well & truly bedded in.

Another quick update - Just over 1000 miles on the Helix clutch & SMF.

I would say it is more or less fully bedded in now. I've had the chance to "test" the clutch & see if it will handle the full torque of the engine at low & mid range.

All I can say is "Wow"! No messing, no slipping, the torque is transferred to the wheels instantly. If the ASR wasn't switched on, I think my front tyres would be crying out for submission!

In traffic, the clutch feels a little heavier, but only very slightly. If you're constantly stopping & starting, it can get a little tiresome dipping the clutch. Nothing that I would worry about though.

The judder has all but gone now, but that clatter on idle is still there!!

The only probelm I have now is, do I get the remap tweaked for a little extra torque now that I know the clutch will handle it???!!

I can't wait to get my LSD in now.

I know what you mean about the weight of the clutch though. I sometimes get ankle ache in traffic and try to leave it in neutral as often as possible. generally though I believe it's quite oem in feel, as long as you don't try and let the lcutch out too fast, else it will just stall. Every garage I take the car to for tyres (etc ) they always stall it trying to manouvere her.

do you have any noise when changing down to 2nd at reasonably high revs with the helix as mine sometimes does. and ive stalled it about 300 times. lol

yes I do get a little short whine when changing down the last two gears, just as I put in the clutch, really minor.

Can't say that it stalls at all...

HTH

Bas

doesnt stall, just my crap clutch controll.
