Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

[brad1]

Well the worse occured recently, the clutch decided it wanted to play slippy slippy lol, its weird as the clutch is rated around 300ftlb and ive only got 260ftlb, well thats what it made on the day it was mapped, so hopefully its adapted with a few more torques which is good but not for my wallet and clutch lol. Its fine when i boot it over 3000rpm and it pulls very well. I took the car to AmD and they drove the car and said clutch slip so im paying the extra and having a sachs 400ftlb clutch put in and this should be ok, well its more than enough

How much is that setting you back mate?

 

[brad1]

Well the price between the g60 vr6 set up and the sachs set up, I'm paying the difference but a little cheaper if you get me??

Glad AmD are looking after you matey.

Now you need ARBs, Strut braces, bushes, rear strut, coilovers and a diff

Cheers mate, the times were so crap as I couldn't get any grip in first and second and it didn't help that a top mount and suspected lower arm went as it was pulling to one side bad and also making a clunk/ knocking noise it's capable of a 15.5, but it's just trying to get grip, oh well I'll have a fmic soon and all problems sorted

Car looks good up the strip.

Cant wait to see what it gets once you got the front mount - my gut feeling is your SMIC is holding your power back. I predict you will get as much as 5bhp more!

The side mount is very restrctive i feel atm, i should get some gains i hope, like you say 5bhp and hopefully alot more torque

I only saw afew cars go up the strip and most seemed to struggle for grip.
