I have that written down from our chat the other night. I still need to ring NPC & ask about their clutches. I'll ring UFI tonight and ask about theirs.

Npc viper will do 1000nm. Ufi say 800nm but the one in the test vehicle has help up at 1000+nm. If you go the npc just get the clutch and have your flywheel drilled to suit.

I will also highly recommend lightening the flywheel and have the clutch/flywheel assembly balanced. You will like the difference it makes and it also helps in preventing crank breakages.

4Terrain are great clutched from my research. They're only around the corner from me just off Settlement rd.
Heres mine sitting in the garage after Mudski didn't need it for his car.

Comes with an uber timber box, if that doesn't sell it, i don't know what will. lol

I asked JPC about lightening the flywheel and they suggested leaving it as it is, everything else I have heard and read suggests otherwise though. I'm not sure who else in Melbourne I can speak to about getting it all drilled and balanced.

Hence why I dont like them. Need to aim for 1.5 to 2kg of the original weight. Any engine builder/reconditioner should be able to do the drilling, lightening, balancing and facing.

No worries mate, sounds good. I'm wanting to get one done before the Licola trip, the boss will confirm tomorrow if I can have the time off or not.

I just got off the phone from Matt at UFI, $850 delivered for their clutch. Good for 1000nm. He said to have my flywheel machined & lightened by 2kg at least.
The workshop across from my work has quoted $700 to fit a clutch for me.

Yep that's the same price I got too for the clutch from ufi.

Sounds like a winner!

There seems to be haha. Thanks for your help and wisdom once again. I'll hopefully order a UFI this week.
