I'll just have to look out for a second hand flywheel to get so I can it lightened and then make a time to swap it over. Lol Thanks guys! More money.

I'll have a spare one soon the forum can use for rotating if Matty doesn't want it?

Zzz mechanics haven't heard back from Duggan yet. Looks like it will be Wednesday at the earliest. Oh well, at least I have the girlfriends little Hyundai to zip around in..

Duggans was bloody busy when I turned up. I said I needed it that day as I'm never on that side of town so they managed to squeeze me in.

Hopefully that's a sign of quality work then. As long as I have her back by this weekend so I can give her a service I'll be happy.

Now when you and your bro are driving to Licola, you need to race through the hills and see who goes better ;)

We've had a few little races so far and it's extremely close. I reckon the trusty old diesel will get him though!

Yeah through the hills you should be all over him mate! Awesome!
Still keen to have a good look at his wagon though, lol.

Let's hope haha. He is going to do a MAFless tune & mild cam at some stage, I don't like my chances when that happens! It's an absolute best of a rig though, he's done very well for himself.

On the topic of my bus, ever since I've had the pump & injectors fitted it has started really rough and blown puffs of white smoke when cold, especially on super cold days. I spoke to the blokes at Performance 4x4 and they have told me my timing needs to be advanced. I'm going to have a hunt around and see if I can find another place to tune it properly.

Interesting. Was the timing set at what they told you to set it at?
Usually this happens when the pump hasnt quite been setup right. Its not a timing thing and is something that has to be set on a bench.

How much weight did they get out of the flywheel?

The mechanics that fitted it never got in contact with P4x4 apparently so they just set it to what they thought would work.

I was told 1.5-2kg.

Yeah funny about that. Mine does this too. But it has to be really cold for it to do this. It will only sputter for about 5 seconds, no longer, bitta smoke, then its good.

Your is a safari tuff. Which is actually a heavier one than chappy has posted a picture of. The sports tuff is heavier than stock but not as heavy as the safari tuff. There is also a hd version of the safari tuff which is good for around 750nm.

Yeah I know. I honestly thought back then there were no other options of safari tuff clutches grades...lol

No wonder mine was slipping like crazy then... I can't wait to take it for a proper drive now to see how it goes.

Quick question for the experts, is there anything I should or shouldn't be doing to break the new clutch in? I'm guessing don't flog it for a little while?

Just drive it normally mate. A few hard pulls once everything is warmed up is fine but not all out drag racing runs. Once you have done 500-1000km then all will be fine.

Its my old stomping ground. I went to Greenwood primary, then Macleod Tech. Lived in Lea Crescent until I was 26. Lost my licence for 8 months having a drag down Greenwood dve back in the day... I was on first name basis with the Greensborough cops. Lol.

Did they give a confirmed figure on this when you took delivery?

I picked it up after hours. I'll give them a call on Monday. I asked them to ask for 1.5-2kg. It definitely feels different to before. Feels great though, can't wait to do a few kms and see what it's got.
