Cup Fly Wheel

[paul summers]

Hi everybody a new member from Australia.

I have found this site really informative especially the info from Loren re 04 suspension alignment settings.

I compete in Tarmac rallys and have used both MK 1 and now a MK 2 Gt3.

I have just decided to change the final drive to the 4.0 / 1 as it makes the car far more driveable and much quicker in acceleration. My MK1 had this conversion and I do recommend it unless you use your cars to cross the country.

I need some help however regarding the clutch. I recently fitted the Cup clutch (puck type ) and matching flywheel. The car however is now not nice to drive as the clutch has no springs and shudders on slow engagements as this type does tolerate any slippage.

I want to keep the flywheel but change the clutch for a more forgiving type. The problem is the RS or MK1 CS type does not match to the flywheel as the contact face on the Cup flywheel is about 70% of the std single mass flywheel as it is suited for the puck type clutch and is much lighter than the RS type.

Does anybody know where I can get a performance clutch that is more forgiving but matches the Cup flywheel. Please help if you can oherwise I will have to go to a complete RS kit.

You would have done better to install the flywheel and clutch out of the 04 GT3RS street car. Its a single mass flywheel (~20lbs lighter than stock) and a spring centered clutch. I just did this upgrade on my 04GT3. The engagement is similar to stock and the engine revs much quicker. The cars really should have come from the factory that way.
