BAD63R-V6 will become famous soon enough
Default Another Upgrade lol.

Look what the nice man from UPS delivered for me today.





Gettin it fitted this thursday. It's an EBC uprated sports clutch thats 10mm wider clamping surface given better response. So it should make the beasty go a bit quicker.

Just need to get the suspesion fitted when it arrives on friday lol, can't wait.

Very cool - don't forget to replace the release bearing (is it cable operated in your car if so make sure the cable is in good condition - I had a power clutch that kept breaking cables.)

You'll really notice it on high power launches. I'd be curious to know if it makes it harder to drive around town and in traffic.

Well like the old saying goes "It's just not quick enough". Next will be the light weight fly wheel. The standard flywheel on a Calli V6 is 15.6kg but if you have one from Courtenay Sport they will provide you with a billet steel one that has a massive saving of 9.8 kg. Should fly off the line with that and the clutch in.

Suspension here tomorrow so there will be some updated pics very soon.

In the pic's you can see, all i've doen is layed the 3 pieces over each other. What you can see is actually all 3 bits just put together as I didn't want tp upload loads of pics.

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Bloody snow stopped me from gettin the car up my hill yesterday so this has been re-booked for Monday, i'm well gutted as there is a massive cruise this Sunday

O well at least it will be ready for the even bigger Midz United cruise. iirc Fast Car magazine is gonna be there so that should pack a few. At the moment there is 27 cruise sites from around the country so should be a good night.

This is takin place in the Midlands if anyone is up for it and it's on the 18th of February (Sunday). Oh and there is a show and shine (weather permitting) and sound of comps aswell.
