Very true. Here's hoping he sourced a strong clutch for his 6-speed...

[TomsSVX]

CLutch Masters FX100 clutch. I thought about getting the FX200 but I figured I'd try the cheaper one first. If it doesnt hold I'll step up.

What's the torque rating on the FX100 clutch? Have a link to their website?

looks like 70% over stock, should be a good clutch for you to put your power to the ground but not send it onto the ground

Looks like a good choice. Stock STI's weigh 3,300lbs and make 300ft-lbs of torque at the crank. That clutch should therefore be good to 510 ft-lbs and the weight of mikecg's fwd->awd converted SVX should be within 100lbs of an STI...

are you kidding?? I did the curb weight math with my silver and it weighs aprox 3800#'s with a 200lb driver. Granted, not all of us are 200lbs<---damnit but I am and with a full tank of gas and the car fully outfitted plus the extra weight of the R180 the SVX is still a hog. Mike car will prob. weigh close to to 3700 on a full tank with him driving as it is an L model and he does not weigh as much as me...

Strange, the DMV in delaware has a scale built into the break machine. I remember the 92 weighing in at 3600lbs with me and 3/4 tank with the Auto still in it.

The L also is light due to no ABS, no leather, no power seats, no power sunroof, lighter wheels(aftermarket).

If you want me to race with your car I only weigh 120

if me and Chuck at BF! ever get our crap together I two would have a turbo or maybe a twin turbo SVX that I would be willing to drive up there and let them "test out"

[Crusader]

Get your crap together! I'll come help out too.

[curly2k3]

I know I know, I gotta go get talk to Chuck tomorrow, still gotta decide which turbo/turbo, single or twin, and intercoolers... and postioning for all of it, then I still have to decide to do a full custom fuel mapping through one of the shops(most likely Propulsion) or the stage 2... and if I am going to convert it to a stick or keep the auto(for now only), as well as brakes and maybe different rims and tires...

did sports car revolution ever follow through?

[TomsSVX]

dunno, Haven't even thought about it since this thread was still around. Anyway it is still a good idea but people just lost interest as we never heard anything more from SCR

I'm a little sad myself no one else followed through on this. I think all Tom from SCR was a couple E-mails from you East Coasters expressing interest. Maybe in the next year or so I'll have an SVX worthy of SCR
