I don't think the DCT will be very happy when that happens.

Speaking from experience.

Don't track much, maybe a few times a year. So you have some experience with Kevlar clutch discs in the DCT transmission, wet clutches?

Something you could do in the future?

They were, I'm surprised it held up as long as it did.

Very nice Drew.

Did you get the SSP trans cooler also?

You are going to tear it up at the airstrip event. Have fun!

How much did it cost for this clutch change? Breakdown of parts and labor?

very nice! what size tires you running in the rear?? why do people hate sticky btw??

TopSpeedM3 · 02-02-2012, 06:27 PM

Those clutches look almost identical to the ones we run in the GTR's.

SchnellM3 · 02-02-2012, 07:04 PM

Amazing! I always enjoy seeing the possibilities of what can be done with this motor and the DCT.

Your car is just plain sick to begin with but other than the wheels, you pretty much have the ultimate sleeper lol

Thanks man, love your car as well. The MORR wheels do take away the sleeper look, but it's well worth it, they look so damn good with the MR!

I think I would need a 19x10.5 wheel for it to fit, mine are 19x10.

less of a sidewall? i thought thicker sidewall = better launches

Let us (me

true J, but when your dealing with a 30/35 side wall, theres barely a side wall for it to matter. plus track tires arent designed to wrinkle like a DR
