Well, I'm already $20 under Summit Racing's price, so that sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Plus you get unlimited tech support....which is something that a lot of people don't appreciate about the forum venders.

Are you talking to me?

Either of you *****es going to Watkins Glen either in June for the 50th, or September for the Vintage GP?
Bring something.
We could even do the Old Course...at night

blykins 02-16-2012 05:58 PM

Ok, now it's my turn to ask....who are you talking to? I surely hope you're not calling me what's behind those asterisks...

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:03 PM

Chas jumped on my ****.....you had to pile on. So ... the ****** would be correct.

blykins 02-16-2012 06:04 PM

No piling on here....I was trying to explain why you wanted the big clutch.

But good luck to you....no more help from me.

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:05 PM

cost you a sale too.
My buddy has the twin disk set-up. It is great. I will ask him where he got it. Olthoff I think

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll recover.... ;)

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:12 PM

no worries here

blykins 02-16-2012 06:18 PM

When you talk to the Olthoffs, I would:

1. Not show your hindend like you did here.
2. Ask them about the notched clutch fork that you will probably need if your slave cylinder pushes the fork towards the front of the car.

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:25 PM

1. Not show your hindend like you did here.

...um...are you kidding me? Sheesh. Dennis and I see eye to eye. Great guy.


I had a Ram clutch already. They are not very good.

blykins 02-16-2012 06:28 PM

Just for the record, I didn't say anything negative to you at all. Now, you may have taken it that way, but that's not my issue.

RAM clutches are great....they go in 75% of my street/strip stuff. Never had an issue. If you had one go south on you, then you had the wrong clutch, had it adjusted wrong, or can't drive. My reputation is staked on the engines that I build and the parts that I sell to go with them. I'm not going to sell junk so that someone can bad mouth me on the internet.

Good luck and have a good evening.

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:31 PM

LOL


Now drop it

Meet me in NY ;)

patrickt 02-16-2012 06:35 PM

Damn, Chas...
 
And you say I toss grenades? That little gem was phosphorus tipped.:LOL:

I have a McLeod clutch in my SPF and it slips 3-4 and 4-5. the car has 27500 miles on it . Do you think its fried? I do know how to drive a stick because I got 1,003,000 mile out of the clutch in my Peterbilt.

JBCOBRA 02-16-2012 06:42 PM

You may get lucky to adjust the clutch.....if not it is toast

Usually when a clutch is starting to go, it will start slipping in the higher gears like that. Will it slip if you leave it in 5th gear, load it at a low rpm, then get into the throttle?

If it's a regular organic/organic disc with a diaphragm plate, chances are that you probably have more engine than what the clutch can handle. Combinations like that are generally good for 300-350hp.

347stroker 02-16-2012 06:43 PM

Hey Patrick those guys made you look tame! I live up north of Baltimore maybe a beer and barbq sometime?

Dimis 02-16-2012 06:45 PM

Blykins - You'll happily have my business when its time for me to purchase...

Kindest regards,

347stroker 02-16-2012 06:45 PM

Yeah it slips like that.
