    on the way over to my mechs workshop, I'd left the BOVs recirc pipes off just to hear the sound the aftermarket BOVs would make (NICE!!) However, When seeing a 180SX up my ass all the way(one of the mechs that works where I was taking it:)) He decided to give my Zed a go...HAHAHA - That was him when I belted it (pulled outta there like a freight train(toot toot) but why he was laughing was, if your BOVs are recirc, leave them as is...Because my engine partcially flooded and wouldn't start(after the ringing of the Twin Turbos), sooo, I pushed it to the side of the road... Right across from the workshop mind you, and handed them the keys for them to push it over and for me to get to work.
    Zed will be back to me by Thursday...Just like new, and I'll be able to put a brand to my "brass button" clutch.

    Don't expect the brass button clutch to last longer

    than a few months from what i have been told. Your probably better off going a twin plate or a heavy duty. I had one of those extreme 3 piece clutches in previously and they work very very well and last a long time.

    Well, as far as I know it's Brass Button...Or

    it's a bloody strong Twin Plate!:) Maybe even Triple!:LOL:
    Whay, what's wrong with a Brass Button?:unsure:

    the ceramic plates or whatever they are wear down

    to the brass studs very quickly.

    I suppose REV matching("Double Clutching on Down Shift")

    does put a little more stress on the clutch. But, "Meh" she'll be right.
    I mean I'd love an OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch but it's not in the budget.

    Shit... Need a New Clutch, Any Ideas?

    I'm going for the UAS Organic Full Face Clutch Kit... Has anyone got one of these?
    Also, it seems as soon as I mention the words "Going on a Cruise" there crops up something wrong, Coincidence? You be the judge.
