Hey man, thanks. I should be driving........just had a few hiccups
My clutch has started slipping after the last drift day and after a bit of reserch on the american forums there seems to be general agreement that the diameter of the NA clutch just isn't enough for the amount of torque the 1.8 turbo setups can produce.
A friend of mine recomended "queensland clutch services" to re-spring and upgrade my original 1.8 oem clutch.....
So a quick email and $450 later here it is called their "hi torque button" level clutch.
I'll install that later in the week so its a big rush before the drift event on sat at winton.
I have also run into the problem of the standard hand brake not being able to lock up the rears anymore after the cable stretched at the last drift day, i had to adjust it up 4 times on the day, so something hectic needs doing.........Hydraulic hand brake here we come!
The slave cylinder i got from merridian motorsport it was under $30.....not sure exact how much...
The lines i just bent some tig wire into the shape i wanted them to be then took it to BETTER BRAKES and the made em up for $25
There aint alot of room in the old mx5 for a slave cylinder so i decided to mount it in the tunnel under the car... Just means fiddly work getting the clearance on the push rod.....
I'll try update after i test before the weekend.....other wise next weekish
I'll be testing it at the VicDrift clubs first open day of the year on 21st of march at Winton.
