Picked up a few parts for my rebuild

[Condo]

Picked up a Clutchmasters FX600 with the 14 lb billet steel flywheel from Greg@DTH. The whole assembly weighs just 23 lbs. I took a few quick pics before dropping it off at the machine shop to have it balanced with the rest of the rotating assembly. If everything works out as planned I should be back on the road in about 2 weeks with a few more upgrades.










I also picked up an R32 throttle body from Issam. I couldn't believe how much bigger it is than stock when I took it out of the box.

steel flywheel?

awesome John! I look forward to hearing the progress.

[A4ringedONE8T]

Nice! That sures the hell doesnt look like the R32 TB I have or we have at the shop, MK4 or 5. What mani are you putting it on and how?

Yes, exclusive to me I had a special run of 10 done.

steel flywheel?

awesome John! I look forward to hearing the progress.

The aluminum flywheel was only 8 lbs and I wasn't sure how much it would affect driveability. I figured the steel flywheel would be a safer bet.

Any word on your tune and when you're getting your car back?

John, ironically, I just sent you a PM about that before even reading this post.

Very nice Greg. If I need a new clutch that is the one I want. We'll wait until I see how mine reacts to the new engine/tune.

The part number is 03H133062 which comes up as a 2007 Touareg throttle body. It is a 3" throttle body though so it's the same size.

I'm having a custom intake manifold made by a local shop.

R36 throttle body :)

Once John gets his up and running, hopefully he will be very happy...

If not I may have 9 flywheels hanging from our Christmas tree as Tracee's present this year

Haha.

Well, I'm fairly sure Jordan is in for one of those set-ups. I think both John and I told him they are available and to give you a call.

Well 8 because one of those is going on my car with a FX700 or a carbon/carbon.


BTW john, the rest of the parts are on their way.

[F16HTON]

Well I told Tracee...

[A4ringedONE8T]

haha, Q7 TB, John, you know using SUV parts is only going to weigh you down lol

[dirtybrd]

Nice clutch!!!

[mike-2ptzero]

Trust me I know ... Im sitting on the couch and Janelle is shopping with her mom as we speak lol

I am glad mine hates to shop.

[Condo]

BTW john, the rest of the parts are on their way.

Thanks Mike. Looks like everything should be here early next week.

Whats the clamping force on that?

They can be built to hold any where from 550 - 900 ft/lbs of torque. I'd have to check on the exact number for my setup.

I sure want that TB that thing looks bad ass! good for u John, can't wait to see what the result is. Is Sarkis helping u with any of it?

Thanks Kirk. Just wait until you see the intake manifold when it's done. Sarkis has been helping me with a lot of the parts for the engine rebuild.

haha, Q7 TB, John, you know using SUV parts is only going to weigh you down lol

It'll weigh me down a little but I'll have the towing capacity of a Q7.

[FourRings80]

That's one nice clutch! Looking foward to see the rest of the parts come together.

[absolutegtr]

Also is that "bolt-right-up"?

Its hard to tell the thickness of the whole thing...but twill the input shaft will be long enough?

[mike-2ptzero]

Yes, the flywheel is designed for the twin plate setup to work on the A4 1.8t. So the over all thickness is nearly exactly the same as a standard clutch setup.

Is that a local shop you have been dealing with?

[Condo]

Sarkis is who I mainly deal with at Eurocode.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^same here, we have a Beach BBQ next week and Ralph(Raf818?) and Sarkis are coming out with Sarkis's built A3, i ask about u when i talk to him to understand and lean what the problems and solutions were lol.

[CO AVANT]

John, pm me with details on the driveability of that clutch.

Greg, I will be picking one up after X-mas bonus arrives. Low on funds right now since I just purchased a new snowbobile...

[F16HTON]

You dad gives you a Christmas bonus?

[CO AVANT]

You dad gives you a Christmas bonus?

hahaha you are a funny fvcker

[F16HTON]

After being in Colorado Springs...I need to move. Tell you Dad I need a job.

[dirtybrd]

Jordan, what's a snowbobile?

[CO AVANT]

I are bad spellr Greg, did you take the rally rental on Pikes Peak?

[F16HTON]

No, I had to work my ass off and had no time. Hopefully it will be years before I ever have to talk to another USAFA Cadet.

[dougyfresh]

Sarkis is who I mainly deal with at Eurocode.

Gotcha. That is going to be good. Did you email Bob?

I will take you up on that clutch alignment tool when you're done. I don't need it next month (or rather this weekend) like originally planned. No rush. Just keep me posted. Thanks.
