I have this big hole where an engine should be......

 

 

 

But it will soon be filled with this...............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not long now, just waiting for a big wing sump from SFS and it'll be going in the hole!

 

Anyone have experience of driving with paddle clutches on the road?

It came with a paddle clutch and a fast road jobbie?

Part of me wants to fit the paddle one but i hear it may be a bad idea for road use??

Nice mate, Are using a clutch cable or hydraulic ? I ve got a 6 paddle in mine with a cable, normal driving is fine, just gets a bit heavy in traffic

Cheers all, lets hope she makes the numbers eh!

Built to Jondels 250bhp spec but i think it may be a little optimistic! Anything over 225bhp will be nice!!

 

I wasnt sure about the pullies, but while i have them i may aswell use them and save the cash to put towards an exhaust manifold. They dont look too bad i spose.

I had a paddle clutch in my Fiesta, its fine on the road but if you try and slip it in traffic for example it would judder like a fooker, so I never slipped the clutch, just give it extra revs and let it up swiftly.

 

Where I live I don't encounter any traffic so its no problem for me and have just bought a new one

[Slammed]

looks awsome i need a N/A yb one day

 

the title got me a bit weary too..

I had a alcon 6 paddle in my mk1,it was perfect BUT i had a hydro clutch which makes a hell of a differance,i have the same clutch in my saff cossie with a cable and its not that nice in traffic, but its bareable
