I bought a Helix 2plate clutch,including the flywheel,for 98 kgm torque from Simon of QED.
I am expecting it next week...

The helix twin plate......doesn't quite fit in the f28, unless they have re-speceed the clutch/fly combo recently.
I have a custom spec twin plate super clutch, rated for 650nm, if that doesn't hold a tripple plate tilton may be next on my xmas list.

Oh my God!

(Very very well done!)

The dyno stoped before the peak of the maximun power and before of the the maximum of the torque.At this point had more than 80 kgm torque.
In this case the dyno can't memorised the dyno,because it isn't finished.
Dor this reason i don't have a dyno plot.
The last plot before the dyno stop is at 627 ps and 76,33 kgm torque.

iirc the helix has the same prob as the 7 1/4" ap twin plate, they touch the bellhousing. Some people fit a small spacer between the engine and box, others have a fly made or machine the existing one to add clearance. Helix/ap may have updated the design since i last seen, i think the original batch were designed with f20 clearance in mind.
Its not a problem really, i'm sure you can fix it if needs be.

An absolute weapon of a car! I don't like your wheels - sorry!

Awesome, awesome car though. Greece is only small compared to the UK, you have some serious enthusiasts there. Look at all the link backs!

Simon told me that i won't face any problem and it will fit without any modifications.
But the problemn exists,i think that we will fix it as you said.
Thanks again Rs1.

Today it was very hot here in Greece,but we prefered to put the 2plate.

Here we have the Helix clutch.

This is the old clutch

Plate without springs

We are trying to put the gear to the flywheel

The cars at the garage

At this point we had a litlle problem,because the new round nosed bearing couldn't fit to the F28.So we took the centre of the old bearing and we put the outside part of the new nosed bearing.

The team manager Jimas,giving orders....lol

This happens when you don't work as you should....tema manager punishe

Giving a hand...

Some exersise....spoiler didn't broke....German rulezzz....

Me giving advices...lol

And here it is...

After this point i said that i had headache and left them to do the dirty job.....
