update , stock dual mass/clutch buggard holds 8psi on stock dual mass,then turning boost up to 15/17psi the dual mass is buggard and friction plate slipping, so replaced the stock dual mass with a solid steel singal mass and bought a 5 paddle type clutch instead reckon i get a 40percent increase in holding power (so the clutch guy states after the run in period ) how true this is time will tell , , decied to go for a 5 paddle clutch instead of the 3 paddle type as it will be a bit less graby and ok for road use few pics   more engine gearbox stripping again lol |

also noticed ive been havin a few intake air problems as the intake temps have been reading wrong , causeing hold back , this was due to when i sent some settings to the ecu via easytherm there wernt the correct values , so nicely alterd them as well and aded another sensor   |

Hey adaptorman, That's a nice friction plate, that should be pretty smooth for daily driving with it being sprung etc  . Are you running MS1? |

little update , due to a forium pulling my front brake idea down (when it was a stock calipare carrier , ive decided to update them so here goes got a pair of 4pot wilwoods   stock calipar pic  tempory fit of the wilwood  first thought all seems ok as i was told these had 330mm discs as mine are only 312mm and the discs are too big for these calipars, as these came from a volvo 850r  so the next size i can only get is 286mm discs which ill try tomorrow as the outers fit nice and makeing the adaptors isnt a big problem  plus these wilwoods just catch my 17inch alloys but will smaller discs they will miss , what do u guys reckon i should do ,(alway good to have some advise) |

well I'm runind 288 as the wilwoods just clear due to alloys so went out testing , all i can say is why didnt i fit these first off , dosent have a problem locking the wheels , and ive also use a t in the rear brakes removed the conpansator valves ,and adjusted the servo up which helps loads managed to get a couple of updates nothing great thow first made adaptors and made sure everthing algines up on the calipars  also made so i can remove them to go back to stock use too then quick rub down andgave door some spray , (was fed up of looking at a blue door  then rubbed it down to add to rough affect lol  next , i wanted more rear wheel camber so added a bit  ] quick ruber over rear window with buffer  moved wiper so stops in centre maybe a daft idea but works lol  other then this this seem to be runing fine gave them som proper hard braking , no problems yet |

great to meet you last night fella, truely a nice bloke and gave me a quick walkthrough on running megasquirt this caddy is insane, when it arrived i watched it go along the bottom of the car park, then heard a turbo and it was at the top in a ridiculously short amount of time, insane, plenty of gasps and *what the curse word* coments from onlookers. i await your next project eagerly  |
