Could you price up a clutch kit for an 800 vitty with a T16 in it as I suspect mine is on it's way out as i have quite a bit of slip at full boost.

InB4Mike · Post by **InB4Mike** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:49 pm

I work for gt's if that helps just need you reg if you want me to price one up for you

V169PJW, I am hoping this solves my performance issues with the car as I dont know what else could be affecting it!

InB4Mike · Post by **InB4Mike** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:59 pm

Il get price for you tomoz you attending the meet on Sunday

Just clutch kit

PCJ · Post by **PCJ** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:06 pm

Well potentially I will be coming over, depends if I can narrow down what the issue is. Booted it the other day and the revs went up but the speed didn't and when I stopped the car stank of clutch so I am guessing its on it's way out as the car seems to stop pulling when it hits full boost.

InB4Mike · Post by **InB4Mike** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:11 pm

Sounds about right

il get you price tomoz been on our website and it says around 117 +vat so see how much my discount is see wot it will come in at

I have a standard and an ap clutch on the shelf for a t16 turbo's but i am reasonably sure i'd not be able to fit it with all the other jobs on the day but happy to offer it to you any other day

PCJ · Post by **PCJ** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:08 pm

How much? I could pop over on Saturday if that would be easier, still need to clarify that its defo the clutch which is the problem!

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:13 pm

£70 for standard, keeping the AP for when i rebuild the FDH engine.

Indeed, worth a laugh mate !

Got one for you mate, I need some work doing on my MGF, do you do house calls for Fuel Costs and beer money.

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:31 am

id rather drag it to the unit, not a fan of working outside or scrabbling on the floor.

Yeah I was discussing that with mtecstevo last night, we were thingking of getting the brakes on and doing the thermostat housing, fill it with water and drive it up, does the garage round the corner do MOT's as its SORN'd and is more illegal than skunk lol, could drive it up on the pretence its getting work do you see.

Yeah good day today mate got quite a bit done had a laugh and met some nice people.
My exhaust sounds awesome yet still quiet at motorway speeds so all is good.
Thanks again

Seeing as we are on the calm side of the northwest meet i'm quite happy how it went and more importantly happy to do another one.

The unit is available daily for anyone else to use from £35 a day anyway of you need something done.

What i was thinking for the next one is maybe having trophies for best car at the event (mine excluded because we know i'll win every time) and top man of the day and say throw £5 in from anyone having work done to cover costs of lighting, cleaning products and disposing of the millions of coffee cups, OMG!

And to tie in with my own projects making it a once a quarter event so there is plenty of time to plan, get parts ordered and generally make it a little more organised than it was as i don't feel i got a chance to have a decent chat with everyone.

Your thoughts?

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 11:50 am

I have also been in a meeting with autofactors who were the people who supply my parts at trade with regards to sponsoring the next event so we may have some nice givaways for the next event.
