HKS GD Pro Twin Clutch Type K, Does anybody using it??? Options

[Lar-]

Yeah... 160USD would be a much more listenable price...

300USD... is like "you better chop my head off instead"... it's bloody, man.. 300USD!!!!!

[Magic]

Lar-!!!!

I bought (ACT CLUTCH/Endelsee braking pads) them and next week they are gonna be installed on my babe!!!!Yes i will give them some time and not pust it like maniac:).
Yes the installation here is "killinig you" cuz the engineers here they think that they are the only "engineers left on the planet earth" thats why they giving a price without 2nd though!!!!!
I also bought HKS SSQBOV!!!!!Was 2nd hand by a friend of my that he crashed his WRX STI!!!!What do you think about the KHS SSQBOV??I used to have it actually on my previous car(Impreza WRX) and was really nice.
What are you using?

[Lar-]

Hi Magic...

I'm using the HKS BOV as well. It responds to your gas paddle better than other BOV brands.

I really love the "fuzee... fuzzeee..." sound....
Blitz Super Sound is not bad too, but the sound is too "Macho" for me.

Hey Lar-!!!

I installed my Clutch(Finally)!!!!
I`m very happy with it,its much better than the stock one i used before,its harder to push the pedal but the shifting its very easy now:)
My engineer is an Asshole:) I went there and he told me that the clutch was not ok cuz you have to push the pedal at the end to catch(work).I went a drive to check it and was true then he called a friend of him and he told him that under the clutch pedal there is an adjustment that he must do!!!!!!!!! He did it and the clutch now is working fine.
Something strange that i noticed and i want to ask you is that when i`m ready for lounch,at the point that i`m leaving my foot of the clutch the car is shaking a little bid just at the beginning and the same happens with my reverse,is that normal??I`m not using 4 pad or 6 pad disc im using organic.Everything else its great:)
I`m very ugry cuz he didnt install my brake pads and my blow-off cuz he didnt have time!!!My car was 2 days there for a CLUTCH INSTALLATION!!!!!GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!And finally the price for labour is 240USD!!!!!!F*** HIM he was his last one:)I dont know if he will see me again.

[spunky393]

a cluth installation normally takes 2 days. Not enough gas in your take offs will shake the car, common sense. And Lar, would you suggest the flywheel and clutch kit (probably act considring magic likes is so much) for my fwd GT? 300 is a normal price, so don't get to mad about it, haha. Other than the fact he told you that first price.

[Magic]

spunky393 I`m mad cuz first he said to me a price and later he ask for more anyway this is not professional and i dont like it.Also i`m comparing my clutch now with the previous one...i dont thinks its about less gas:) anyway i need some time to figure it out!:)
Thanks for the post:)
Also if it takes 2 days(full working) for a clutch replacement from a guy that he already install clutches for so many 4WD cars and especially GT-4 then for me its normal to assembly a pc in 2 days(we talking here for 2 hours work).

Hi Magic...

It's good that you are happy with the new clutch...

It's not not enough gas during take off. The shaking effect is normal for newly installed clutch disk. The new clutch disk surface is still not making a full surface contact with the flywheel surface yet. "Run-in" your clutch for a while, the shaking should become less.
Please be patient, don't do any fast launching for now.

If after... say... about 500km and the shaking effect still won't stop.... then you will have to resurface your flywheel.

Clutch disk and Flywheel is just similar to Brake pads and Disk Brake Rotor.
Most of the time, the Disk Brake Rotor would have to be resurfaced when changing in a new set of Brake Pads. This is just to ensure a FULL(maximum performance) surface contact between the Pads and the Rotors.

Anyway, we can worry about that later. For now, it's normal.

[Lar-]

Hi Spunky393,

About the Flywheel... If you ask me is it neccessary?? I would say no...

FWD already has a direct enery transfer from the engine to both front wheels. It's not like RWD or AWD where some energy would be wasted along the middle drivetrain and the rear axle.

However, if you want to know what a lightweight flywheel feels like then by all means.... try it.

The noticeable advantage of a lightweight flywheel is the RPM would shoot up faster than the stock flywheel. In the same lenght of time, your car goes faster.

The disadvantage would be vise versa.... The RPM would also drop faster as well.
You would have to do a few times more gear shifting than usual.

Are you a "High RPM" driver ?? At what RPM do you normally shift a gear ??

[Magic]

Yes Lar- we should wait and see what is happening with it:) But 500kms sounds very long!!!Hahahahaha
I`m watching your engine photo MAN!!!!F*****!!!!!S*****!!!!D****!!!!!!
Hahahahaha
Its great:)
I bought the Endless brake pads btw and also the HKS SSQBOV but i`m looking for a new engineer to install them for me:)Also I order Yokohama Advan Neova Tyres for my car,do you know them??The size i order is 235/40/R17
I will have them in one month:)
What is worrying me is that i need a front lip for my car and i found that Eurou has one but i dont know the price of it.What do you think about the C-one lip for original GT4 bumper?Do you like it?



Thanks for the chat

[spunky393]

So you're saying, the flywheel would be better for drag racing? I do shift fairly high, when i'm just driving around, i still love to feel the power of my car, so i'll take it to 4 grand if not higher sometimes. Dragging, my engine hits peak about 5300, and i shift fast, very fast. I hope that answers your question, and you're able to tell me more.

-Magic
personally, i love the C-one lip, but that's my opinion.

[Lar-]

Hi Magic....

Hey.. 500km is not that far...

Advan Neova is the top grade tyre for Yokohama. It is a soft compound tyre.
The grip will be great, but will also wear out faster. I think you can check the ratings on TireRack.

C-One front Lip.... Absolutely agreed with Spunky393. I love it too!!!

[Lar-]

Hi Spunky393...

Light flywheel is not only for racing, it can be street used for a little more enjoyment as well. I don't do car racing, by the way. I just love to enjoy my everyday drive.

For you, who like to shift at high RPM, it would be a nice toy to experience.

A friend of mine installed a light weight flywheel to his 3S-GE and said it was useless and a waste of money...
His gear shifting habbit is less than 4000 RPM !!! So, the need to fly RPM up is not there....

If you love riding on high RPM and fast shifting, then a good aftermarket clutch set + flywheel would provide great fun.

For me, my twin clutch is my everyday enjoyment. I would never go back to stock clutch and flywheel.

Lar- and spunky393

Guys i`m talking about this front clip,my car is black..........



I`m checking now the TireRack but i have already order them

[spunky393]

Hi Magic,

That front lip is great, i wouldn't mind it at all, around here we don't exactly have the best ground clearance. I like it, go for it Magic.

[Lar-]

Yeah... it's beautiful.

Can you believe it, I simply can't find anyone who can order C-One parts for me.
I really don't know why it is so difficult!!!

There are a few C-One parts that I would really like to get hold of.

[Magic]

spunky393

Thanks i think i`ll go for it:) It should be nice on Black GT4:)Havent seen it but i think it will be nice besides i dont have too many to choose:(

Lar-

Tell me and i can get the C-one parts and ship them for you:)
With the clutch i`m still waitin but i think maybe is something wrong with the installation can sometimes when i shift a little fast "sometimes" i smell the clutch smell.........you think that it needs time???

[Lar-]

NO!!! Your clutch doesn't need anymore time. Your clutch needs to be rechecked.
I think your clutch disk surface has already burnt a little.
For newly installed clutch... a little shaking is ok, but not smell.
Don't wait too long to have your mechanic recheck your clutch.

Burnt clutch = Slipped clutch.


Thank you so much for offering to help me order and ship the C-One parts. I really appreciate your kind gesture.
I think you can just inform me where can I order or who can I talk to about getting the C-One parts and I can take it from there.
I really don't want to bother you with all the ordering and shipping stuff.

[Magic]

Lar-

Thank you for your help.
What do you mean "Slipped clutch"???You mean my clutch disc left of the place??
The truth is that i smell it 1-2 times while i was driving it.
I will find another mechanic to check my clutch cuz this one its out of subject.
About the C-one parts email me at magikos7@hotmail.com and i can give you details from a guy that i think he can help you.

[Lar-]

Hi Magic...

Sorry to confuse you. I was meaning "slippery clutch".

You won't feel the slippery effect right now as your clutch disc is still new, but if you continue to drive with your clutch smelling like this, soon you will see that when you change a gear and rev up.... your car would not gain speed as fast as usual.

I will e-mail you. Thank you so much.

[Magic]

Hey Lar-

The truth is that i didnt ride my car more than 40kms since i replaced my clutch!!!
Hmmm I will drive it a little more and i let u know.
I asked a lot of guys about the clutch and they all have the same symptoms!!!!Hmmmm maybe its my idea:)
Feel free to email to me:)
