UR Clutch/Flywheel Impressions and Half-Ass Sportec Pics..

zerinTT · 01-31-2002, 08:28 PM

First off, the clutch impressions. I was actually rather worried about how the car was going to feel based on the comments by those of you on the forum. Well, I'm happy to say that its NOT an on/off clutch, and acts very similar to a solid disc clutch. It'll slip if you want it to, but is still grabby if you want it to. The clutch pedal is butter smooth and almost easier to use than previously. Very nice. As for the flywheel, the car is a little harder to take off in 1st gear, so you have to rev a bit. On the highway though, the turbos spool MUCH faster, and revs MUCH more freely. Again, very nice. Taking off will just take getting used to. As far as long term durability, I guess only mileage and time will tell.

And for your viewing displeasure, I took the best pics I could without a tripod using my Nikon (WEAK FLASH), so here goes. Better pics tommorow, but they look GOOD.
