I have a Sachs clutch in my THP

So far I love it, maybe because i've changed many things at once, but car feels like new Did you do any 'break-in'/bedding period?

How is the RPM reacting with a lighter flywheel ?

Sachs is not much lighter than stock (sachs also), I measured stock at 13.8kg while one I got is 11.7kg, this is still Dual Mass as I didn't see any strong reason to convert to Single Mass, considering this is my daily too

Had a rolling race with two cars this week, BMW 123D (Chipped 270hp) and Audi S3 Sedan (292hp), and I was a full car length ahead at 200km/h so Im proud of her

Well I've never had a chance to try a GTI (everyone buys GTDs here, and brag about how torquey they are haha), but my friends STI (2014) hates me from a rolling start, although I dont stand a chance with it from standing start. but I love my car too much to race it from stop

I'm without my gopro-like camera for almost a month now, I've ordered a 'real' gopro so as soon as it's here will be back with videos

Hahaha!! Well done albish!

Keep us posted when its fitted!

[albish]

@BenS It's only the tips as Akrapovic doesn't make a system for DS3, but to my surprise they did change the sound for better!

@Jamie wanna change for Cams? hahah

@WTF Thank You WTF, couln't fit them till today as they needed a bit of 'adapting' because they're not for DS3 now they're on


Cheers

[albish]

So finally managed to fit new tail pipes, needed to do a bit of welding and adapting because of different size pipes but all went well and I'm super happy with the result


a nice bit of welding considering we didn't remove the muffler...





Will get some better pics tomorrow when I give her a nice clean


Cheers
