RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 14-07-2014 "no horses"... thats the lolworthy wet run!!! heres the best dry run... listen out for the revs hanging as the clutch gets raped! (14-07-2014, 03:56 PM)silverzx Wrote: Kevlar XUD clutch? Yum yum! not much good?! RE: 2.1 GTd - mcglynn - 14-07-2014 Ive done about 6k on mine and it looks in better nick than that. They way I seen it was the rivets were of a softer material than the pressure plate and would surely just wear down. Not sure what to do with mine now ill fire some pics in for comparison RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 14-07-2014 CG just emailed again. Saying theres no way thats only done 2000miles unless it was hard miles from the word go. They said it should still run but its up to me basically. They can do a full rebuild of it for £69+£11.75 return postage. Not sure what to do....sell on, if Ash still maybe wants it and use the £80 to just buy a brand new one or get this one refurbed they offering a dual friction clutch setup, same power handling as the paddle, but better for daily use, £228inc vat Re: 2.1 GTd - mcglynn - 14-07-2014 Hmm id say go for a refurb mate and use away? Asni say mine done 5-6k or so, 280lbft from the word go and a lot of stop/start driving to uni and back. Thats both sides, the pressure plate and the whole lot. Think I pictured the worst rivets but as I said a good few hard miles. Very doubtful that has only done 2k. RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 14-07-2014 yours looks ok to me... just take glaze off with some 800grit and get it back on I would! RE: 2.1 GTd - mcglynn - 14-07-2014 Well at least it gives you an idea how they last after 5-6k RE: 2.1 GTd - Danny2009 - 14-07-2014 It's done 2k I put the clutch in and took it out the same car Sent you loads of pictures an you was happy and happy to receive it at the meet after I showed you it RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 14-07-2014 (14-07-2014, 04:56 PM)Danny2009 Wrote: It's done 2k I put the clutch in and took it out the same car yeah man, I know you sent some pics, just couldnt see the wear on them. I dont want this thread, or any public thread, to be a slating on you pal. You sell good parts to loads of us, me in past too, all happy. Just when I was about to throw it in me boot, few guys were like, "crap thats fubared"....so its my inexperience I guess RE: 2.1 GTd - Danny2009 - 14-07-2014 I don't see how it can be f*cked it held 290lb ft dno proven not just a guess It didn't slip or judder If something's f*cked or Dosent work how it should it gets chucked in the boot and scrapped with the car I'd made a grand profit off the car I didn't sell it because I needed the cash I even knocked £50 off the price to match what a new plate would cost Like to think im a fair seller not in it to rip people off RE: 2.1 GTd - Dum-Dum - 14-07-2014 Not to particularly wade in on this buyer/seller dispute you need to remember how hit and miss the quality of CG stuff is, sometimes it'll happily last thousands of miles and do a great job and sometimes its made so badly it doesn't even work to start with. RE: 2.1 GTd - Poodle - 14-07-2014 Jonny's is the same, he got his off a guy who had done less than 2k with it and it looked like that.

I'm playing the "feel sorry for me" role with CG, mentioning their new materials and their old ones being crap, trying to get discount from them on refurb Oooo and thankyou Sam... [attachment=17639] RE: 2.1 GTd - Dum-Dum - 15-07-2014 Dude I forgot to ask did you ever confirm if the block oil hose was defo M16x1.5? I've found somewhere local to knock me up a hose. 2.1 GTd - devils_fuel - 15-07-2014 Is this any help mate? https://m.facebook.com/groups/13861805351?view=permalink&id=10154364003685352 RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 15-07-2014 (15-07-2014, 12:28 AM)Dum-Dum Wrote: Dude I forgot to ask did you ever confirm if the block oil hose was defo M16x1.5?

Clutch has been sent to CG for the refurb. £69+return postage...it was discounted already as they normally charge £80 just for drive plate refurb. Powerflex also been in touch saying they may have something to send me soon for the rear beam! And I have the arch roller of Dumdum now...so front arches next to stop them destroying my tyres and more for me to find them later... big thanks for all those who took them RE: 2.1 GTd - mcglynn - 16-07-2014 Whats happening with the clutch then with regards to the refurb? Be handy to know for such a time my own needs refurbed.

I fit it... BWAAAARRRRPPPPP PSSSHHHHHH RE: 2.1 GTd - mcglynn - 16-07-2014 I meant more along the lines of what are they doing in the refurb? Replating the paddles? Skimming the pressure plate? Respringing the pressure plate? New bearing? Lol RE: 2.1 GTd - procta - 16-07-2014 that looks well neat!! a pure sleeper!

The coaling photo is awesome haha! 2.1 GTd - devils_fuel - 16-07-2014 Looking great james, credit to you and your OCDness RE: 2.1 GTd - Danny2009 - 17-07-2014 Just mtfu and get it on RE: 2.1 GTd - Piggy - 17-07-2014 The second tech who emailed me said something wasnt right and it was my risk to fit the clutch the way it was. He said it would hold, but perhaps only for a few more hundred miles as it would begin overheating with the rivets touching the pressure plate so much |
