Mattatnoosa's Black Sheep

sorry to hear mate,
k20 comp clutches are renowned for blowing master cylinders due to there heavy pressure plates, not sure if s2000 suffer the same problems,
and the stage 2's also have a fairly strict 800km break in period, you did that many km's in 2 weeks?

Someone got a snap before it happened...

Ok Time for a bit of an update...

Ill post pics later but what happened was the release bearing / throwout bearing came apart after a small ring split, luckily it didn't damage anything else but unlucky for me and my wallet...

I got an OEM bearing this time and the mechanic said it looks much stronger, that and when I asked brad what he ran in his with a stage 4 he said OEM.

In other news, did a pull against a 99rex from 50-60kmhr and beat it by over a car length at about 130..
Also stayed with a my11 rex (2.5l engine) doing the same speeds, clutch felt good, spun the rear wheels going into 2nd and chirped 3rd lol.

had to let someone else grab the suspension because the car was in the shop so much, so I think next mod will be hardtop...

Still have the xbrace and ECV at home waiting to put in, lack of time / help is delaying it happening, really interested to see how quiet and ECV makes the exhaust, and how still the car is with the brace on...

nice looking car mate. Glad to hear the above issue seems to be sorted.

quick question, what issues did you have with the EP3??? only ask because I am considering getting one.

Cheers,
Mitch
