It won't take long. One night of racing and it will feel like a sponge.

It has for the last 2yrs since I went to Cecil... never thought it would have held on this long. My clutch and flywheel have been sitting around forever just waiting to go in.

I told you no launches! Aggressive starts would surely put a hurtin on it though, your right.

I think daily driving does more damage than track to be honest. I do so much highway driving, I already commit to the fact that it will be damaged.

Daily driving a twin disc may not be to good for clutch life, they do not like traffic stop and starting. Nothing kills a clutch like a good hard launch though. Pete you should just switch clutch out, not worth loosing a day at the track you paid good $ to be at. Its inevitable your clutch has to be on its last leg. I say that assuming you get some slippage in gears and your previous description of it being "weak". I cost myself $ when I decided to keep driving the car last year when we were getting locked out of first gear. Basically more $ in Exedy clutch rebuild parts and I wasted my 6 speed trans. If you have the parts just bite the bullet and get it done, will save you grief down the road and possibly $.

I think you were getting two discussions confused, I was talking about my clutch while Chu is talking about his new front bumper.

Clutch holds fine, just a softer in the pedal.

My twin disc feels funny. I'm told to launch it. I'm going to see how it feels after this trackday first.

I am not confused Mr. grillpt.... I thought by this comment you are on borrowed time with your clutch.
