tmJak Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Been wanting to do this mod for ages, and my hand was forced over Christmas when my clutch went. I ended up getting the 6 puck sprung hub clutch, and prolight flywheel. Very pleased with the result. There is a bit of a knack getting the car to set off slowly in traffic, but the engine is a lot more responsive and willing to pull off the line. I find the flywheel very quiet, and look forward to comparing it to the JWT at Wales. Read an interesting article that argues that you get more power with a lightweight flywheel as well http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/flywheel/h ... _works.htm Thanks to Adam at Z1 for sourcing my parts for a very reasonable price over the festive period, and TDi North for fitting with a friendly discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The JWT is a bit noisier but feels great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 They're about the same weight as well. I take it you only get any noise at really low revs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Just feels a little noisier when you are driving, I will let you hear it in Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimo Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The JWT flywheel is nosie when really hot at idle and if you load the engine by using a gear that is to high fot the speed. Eg. lazy driving not changing into 2nd for roundabout and leaving it in 3/4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I also got my act couch and flywheel from Adam @ z1. I have much more confidence in it over the standard one and it just seems to pull the car off the line so much quicker. Also agree with the noise you get starting off in first a D second if you don't give it enough revs. LOL The pedal is so light comparded to my old cluch which I was told was fecked. Stalled the car about 4 times on my way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Think I could well be going down this route, can someone give me some idea of pricings please? Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Think I could well be going down this route, can someone give me some idea of pricings please? Cheers Dan Set aside about £1200 for the job lot. It would be cheaper but for the exchange rate When ESR were trading, Phil was fitting both with steel hose for that price. If you go to a trader with less experience with the Zed, it may take them longer to fit the parts and this could up costs. Parts depend on which combo you choose, and Adam sold me the parts at a very fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
