[Doctor]

nice man , thanks for sharing

My pleasure mate, very happy to share pics and work with you all, as I see most people here are all about changing wheels, spacers and tinting...Not anything wrong with it,
but
I am looking for some more "serious" stuff, and I try myself to provide you with everything I have so as to see new things...

Cheers :D

Great pics, hows the ride? Is it smoother? Is the catching point a lot more precise?

Although its new, and I will not rush into giving it hard, but after a 1000 kms I will, I feel it a lot more precise, the catching point is lower, it is more on-off situation, but not tiring for the driver, and you have no delay...Bam, and you're off...

Excellent feeling, not the sissy feeling it had in the past, for our girlfriends to go to the supermarket...You know what I mean :)

x2 I'm wondering the same thing. I don't like the stock clutch on these cars. does the clutch engage when yuo have your foot closer to the floor?

Yeap, as I've said it above...No comparison between now and before...You now get a NICE feeling of tha clutch...You say oh, now I've GOT a clutch...

[joec500]

about how many hours did it take you guys for the install? Looked pretty straight forward.

[Grassmonkey]

Several questions;

Is there still some slip in the clutch so you can roll smothly from a standstill?
You dont need to raise the rpms more than normal (what it was) to go from a standstill?

Is the pedal heavier, lighter or the same?

And of course how much for one of those puppies?

[IceMole]

What's it made out of? this is for 1.8T right?

[Doctor]

Yeap it lasted about 2 hours taking all thing off, and two more to re-install them....My mechanics are pretty good, so no prob for them

And several answers as well

Yes, you can roll from a standstill. You dont have to rev...You just have to pay saome attention in the beginning, but after a day or two, everything wil go without thought...

The pedal is heavier...

About 1000-1200 euros depending where you'l find the sachs things...

What's it made out of? this is for 1.8T right?

Yes, but there is the same thing for the 2.0tfsi as well...No worries...

[Doctor]

Done 200kms, and going nice...A bit smoother now...

You shouldn't need to break in the organic facings - if you haven't already, let her rip!

No no I havent....I am and will be very very calm for 1000kms so as to let it have a long life...(longer than the other that is...LoL)

PS: Location: Ypsilanti ?

Not sure what Ypsilanti means - I just live here.

And, what I meant was that you shouldn't have to "break in" your clutch. You should be able to drive it how you want right now and not have to wait. Have fun.

[Vito Roma]

I kept the stock flywheel for now...However I was very tempted to put on an Unorthodox one...

Well, I have to take new photos today fo the new mods...Where should I post them though to have them all in one thread...Will see...

As for Greece, dont be sorry...We got what we deserved...In football if you want to win, you first have to score...If not, forget it...

Ypsilanti is a greek name

What everyone has told me is to wait about 1000km and not push it with full throtle...Well, I've got patience...

Because a friend of mine, and many people I know with 1.8T engines, have chosen as a lightened flywheel, the one that Unorthodox Racing produces, and are very very happy with its performance...That's why :)
