OFNSIV Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Nice photos mate.. Shed just dosent look the same anymore:( was always a plan to go with smaller wheels but you won't be able to drop below 16s with the front brakes, wouldn't be hard to go down a size on the front discs and make new caliper brackets to suit so you can run a 15 or possibly 14, if you decide to sell the wheels I had a few guys wanting to buy them I can put you onto, you shouldn't have any issue selling those though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanfels Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 You will need to change the entire caliper if you want to run an oldschool wheel,they stick way to far past the face of the hub it fit any of the old ssr range 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hmm that's the first I've heard of a clutch plate slipping on The spline But I seem to think that the incorrect clutch plate That matches the gearbox spline has been fitted Causing this. As your clutch friction material is always your weakest link In the system. Keep us posted on how you end up removing the Clutch plate from the G box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 More common in Evo's etc launching but does happen more than you think with twin plate clutches, obviously a lot more bite so the friction material might have been stronger than the spline internal, coupled with some sort of shock on it (in speaking to the supplier not rev matching on downshift with twinplates can sometimes cause this too).

EURON8 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Tonight we used fire and heartier-than-last-night hammer hits and smashed clutch plates off input shafts, successful if i do say so myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Result of the above: One mangled clutch plate. Sending the flywheel and intermediate plates off today for skimming and ordered the new clutch plates and pressure plate. It's done pretty well to survive this long, I didn't realise the clutch came from the 0GRIP 330+kw AE92 Superlap car before it went into the KE20 so this twinplate setup has been in use for blardy ages.

Vintage Grumble Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I was wondering about the VVT sound, silver tops are always tickey as shit (a lot more than black tops, but unsure why) but your motor seems especially tickey. Be interesting to see if a new pulley fixes it. Would also be interesting to know if toyota did something different to the blacktops to stop the noise?
