Nice color choice ;) Here is mine when I was prepping and polishing for a ceramic coat. The sun shot is afterwards. I'm very happy so far.In terms of towing, there are many reports on the Ranger5G forum of guys towing rigs over 6,000 lbs. without issue. They are towing over the Rockies and...
I went back and forth on this for a while. I have 2016 GT with the Ford Power Pack 3 tune that I track 6-8 times a year. I contacted Spec and spoke with them multiple times about choosing the right clutch. They insisted that the Spec 1 was more than sufficient for HPDE's based on my current HP...
I used to race KTM's in the SCORE Baja races in the mid to late 90's. I also rode dirt bikes in our local deserts in SoCal as I grew up. However, I still haven't ridden a bike on the street. I just don't trust people in their cars.
Dang, everyone is helping me spend my money. I guess that's what happens when you ask for help on this forum :pI messaged @Mad Hatter when I discovered he originally ran a SPEC Stage 1 with the aluminum pressure plate and flywheel. He was a great help. He said the car drove well and with no...
Thanks! I've already decided to purchase the Spec Stage 1 with the aluminum pressure plate. I'm still on the fence though about the aluminum flywheel. I need to make up my mind soon.Something else has just occurred to me though. I wonder if I should be sending the MT82 with 28k miles on it to...
Thanks. Slight noise like that I can put up with. I've been doing some research and it seems that aluminum flywheels have a tendency to amplify gear rollover noise. I guess the heavier flywheels do a better job of masking it. Plus, it can depend on the transmission. This video gives a quick...
That's good to hear, thanks. Is this with an S550? I did ask them about the Stage 2 and 2+, but they didn't recommend it stating that Kevlar is not the best choice for the track because it can glaze over if it gets hot. Glad to know it's working great for you though.
So, I put in a call to Spec to chat with them rather than email. I'm fairly convinced after speaking with them that I'm not going to experience any dramatic differences in driving on the street other than having to adjust somewhat to the expected normal behavior of an aluminum flywheel when...
Thanks for the input. I'm going to place a call with them today to chat more on the phone instead of email. I put a hold on my purchase based on some of the responses I've received here. I'm not expecting a stock clutch experience, but at the same time, I don't want something I later regret...
I think I read in my research somewhere that you loved aluminum flywheels. It really does seem to be hit and miss with people. Spec seems to stand by their claim that drivability won't suffer. I don't expect it to be like stock, but at the same time I don't want a finicky clutch in stop and go...
Hey everyone! Haven't been on for a while with all the crazy stuff going on right now. I hope everyone has remained in good health. I've just spent the last 2 hours browsing the forum trying to catch up. I haven't been to the track since last December. I had a feeling that a clutch replacement...
