has anyone used the Heavy Duty Cushion Button Kit: TYK-7411HDCB from exedy ? we currently have the sports ceramic in erins car and i think its almost too agressive for day to day use.. has anyone had experiece with the cushiopned button units ?
|
been thinking about this, why on earth do you need a clutch plate so advanced (eg. button clutch) this organic clutch plate i use is handling the abuse i give it from the feral's gte and i see no need for anything beefier needed on a 4age.

That's because you don't have the instant torque of a boosted ZE...
I'll admit it's a little 'sudden', but I honestly prefer it to a standard clutch. I don't drive it day to day though.

The button clutch makes it more challenging to drive. Not that it isnt already challenging to drive...
And its for Toof's car, if it ever goes again

yup the clutch is for my gze. we currently have the exedy ceramic in erins car and it is *fantastic* gives a realy good feel bits very hard and is great for giving it a good squirt in the twisties. although i think its almost too agressive but erin loves it.
the one thats currently in erin's is one of these but i could swear it is 4 paddle. works a treat too.
my mates gtz levin with gze feels like its got something that grabs as hard but isnt quite as severe it feels like its got 8 or 9 paddles instead of the fairly harsh 3-5. after driving that i think its a good comprimise between wanting something that grabs really hard and something that is a little more driveable as i think with the gze and a clutch like erin's ill be smoking it up just trying to get out of the shed.
from the feel of the GTZ i think its something like this

The cushioned button line is our newest sports clutch line and is recommended for use in moderately tuned vehicles that are driven on a daily basis.
This product utilises the positive aspects of an extremely durable ceramic material which has the capacity to transmit increased engine torque while maintaining a relatively comfortable engagement feeling attributed to the unique process of attaching the ceramic material to the clutch plate segment or marcel.
To complement these unique clutch plates, our cushioned button clutch kits are also supplied with high performance clutch cover assemblies with increased clamp loads.
|
and *once* my car is going again it will be driven a little less too i suspect eventually turning into just a weekend toy.

Hey Feral, you comin back around tonight to finish the couple of VB's in the carton we missed last night
You guy's that are expecting a visit from the Feral should pull out the Playstation 2 and play some Gran Turismo 4 with the man, just dont expect a challenge from him on the tarmac
He's not bad on the dirt though.
Cheers mate, it was great fun having you round.

the trip has been good so far im am in San Francisco now and its been ablot of fun to keep the costs down im staying in youth hostels which so far have been heaps of fun. ive bumped into another aussie and we hit the pubs yetserday met some girls bumped into some guy that invited us to a party at one of the clubs hosted by oakley sunglasses which was pretty cool all drinks paid for n stuff..
San Francisco is a fun city but very dirty and there are lots of poor/crazy people arround the place.
I tried to get out the racetrack yesterday but i got lost and allmost couldnt get back so i wont be visiting the san francisco school which is a shame.
So today im waiting for the shuttle bus to take me to toronto where it should be alot easier to get to the racetrack plus i have a bit more time there.
the weather in san fran has been awesome i went out on the harbour ferry saw alcatraz on the way which was cool if i had more time i would definatley visit it.
Cars here are pretty boaring unless you like 4wd's with 23" rims i have seen a few evo 8's running arround and some wrx sti's alot of ferrari's and the odd rx8 here and there the doge vipers are pretty cool tho.
anyways thats about it for the moment how is sydney?

Toof,
You were asking about the cushioned ceramic clutches. I bought one from NPC, and have been driving it for a couple of months now.
It has 8 little ceramic buttons on each side. And you can squish the clutches disc together a little bit even with your fingers, since its two thin metal disc with a 'spring' in the middle. I also put a 1750lb pressure plate on.
In short, this combination is similar to an organic clutch to drive, but more grippy, a bit grabbier on take off, but can be 'ridden' like a normal organic. It is harder to drive exactly as smoothly, but not hard to drive. It is fine in traffic etc and I highly recommend it!
Some guy told the ceramic chews flywheels though...have to wait and see for that.....
Cheers, Nick.

dunno why i'm posting this, seems kind of out of place but bugger it.
My cousin who has an aw11 with the beams motor was at the traffic lights yesterday and a pulsar sss full of drunks pulls up beside him and start bagging out his car calling it shit. My cousin points at there shitty pulsar and the driver says "it's not mine".
So what happened next was pretty cool my cousin took the opportunity to toss his Hungry jacks drink with ice into there open window just as the lights turn green, It's no surprise they couldn't dare keep up, but as a bonus a newish ford v8 ute gave him a go and got flogged! (From the same set of lights)
aw11 shit, pfff those dumb asses don't have a clue.

they definatley chew pressure plates i had to replace mine after about 20000km/s having said that it would probably have lasted alot longer but we had the gearbox out at the time so it was one of those cheaper to replace now rather than later things...
i have a 3 puck ceramic button and i have no issues with driving it arround town however i try not to slip it too much as i hear that wears them out quicker

Drove out to mosport race track in oshawa today was great the speed limit seems to mean jack all here posted limit on the freeway was 90km/hr i sat on 130 and was getting past by cars going alot faster than me and the rental car turned out to be a new corolla cheerin!!! how much better could my day get when i got out there the place was awesome they have a great workshop with lathes/mills/tig welders/sandblasting machine etc with $250k worth of spare parts :8 20 racecars and a pacecar ohh did i forget to mention their own private racetrack wicked!!! They took me out for a few laps in the pacecar too. All in all well worth the trip so far as im really pumped to go next year now..

4agte,
Sounds like fun, glad to hear its turning out well.
Got 2 new front wheel bearings put in the SC to get rid of that rumble..guess what......DID NOT FIX IT !!!! The mechanic was adament that was the prob but i seriously had my doubts..now what ???? Was very busy tonight but plan to jack the car up and have another good look either friday night or over the weekend...maybe feral can wave his magic wand over my car as well
think i will have a look at the crank pulley while i am there...thanks toof !!!!!!
Its very strange, it sounds a bit like a wheel bearing but they are not loose or getting too hot..just noisey, but it dissapears when you turn left, also its totally related to speed. its bearly noticable (over the exhaust etc) up till about 70, pretty loud by 90 and unbearable by 100 but only on the straight or right handers..goes away again on left handers..... anysuggestions.....anyone ????

Ben,
Thanks for the comment, yep actually tried 4 thats right FOUR different sets   , you would have thought that most people would have been happy after one set...........but not me.............i just love changing wheels, had them on the NA and they were fine so its definitely not the tyres.
I tried it under load and off throttle etc etc this morning coming in along the highway to work. Wasnt really paying attention to the speed while i was testing the on throttle in 5th gear.......may have got a bit carried away as the road was clear. As i went flying past the COP with the speed camera i looked at the TACO as my speedo is still not working and it was about 4 1/2 grand...........do the maths  WOOOOOPS

Doh!
My noise started when I replaced the full sick ultra low King springs which came with the car with standard springs. It might have been the ride height change, or the allignment chage which did it. The new tires fixed it though.
Perhaps fiddle with the camber?

Mate, I am really dissapointed i did not buy your car, you should have let me know you were ready to part with it.
Anyhow I hope it gets a decent home that appreciates it's worth.
Hope to read about your return to the AW11 ranks in the near future.
Cheers.

oh and kudos to feral on the most unorthadox method of removing a 4agze from an aw11..
on stands no more then 18" off the ground.. strip all accessories, strip the head, strip the sump, take the pistons out, hop *IN* the engine bay with the engine.. get me to unbolt it from the mount and gearbox then pick ip up and lower it down to the floor.
installation is reverse of removal
