It's time.. I need to get myself a new clutch. Right now I am leaning towards a Quartermaster Twin but also looking at an Exedy. But before I go into that I was wondering if there is anyone around here that can give me some advice on an installer.

I really don't know much about working on cars and I learn by doing... but this is my daily driver and I don't want to get in over my head. Also I'd be willing to a weekend install with someone that knows what their doing and can hopefully teach me a thing or too. I am not opposed to putting in the grunt work or bringing the beers. ;-P

So the questions at hand.

1. Quartermaster vs Exedy
2. Installer vs Self-Install
3. If Installer, Who?

Thanks in advance!

 

if u have baller money get the quarter master... and hope the evo isnt your daily... very harsh engagement and chatters extrremely bad... exedy should be all you need unless you wanna put down over 550whp....

if you have a lil experience working on cars you can getby with the normal installs but a clutch you need to let an experienced person do... regardless of what everyone says on here... yeah they do them in the driveway but it takes 4 friggin guys to do it...

myself and crewdawg can do one in about 6-7 hours on the ground... i just put in my shep trans about 2 months ago in around 4 hrs at my shop... its up to you but it isnt an easy job.. if you wanted to tackle it at your place YOU HAVE TO HAVE air tools with a lil azz behind them but to each his own

 

Well to be honest I was hoping y'all would have time to hook me up!

As for the cluth cost I am trying
To stay under $2k.

This is the first of many mods I hope to do now that life is settling for me.

 

So you mentioned that if I have some money go with the QM.. but from what I can tell they are pretty close to the same price...

Let me know if I am missing something though.. as I said I have a lot to learn, so it wouldn't surprise me.

As for hoping you would hook me up trust me I don't mean for free, of course I expect to pay you for your time.

 

you can get a exedy fro one of the vendors for like 1199 shipped all the tiem... they are always on special cause they sell so many of them

 

Justin should be able to install the clutch for you. And no, EXEDY twins don't go for $1199. lol

 

Let's make it happen! I am going to dump the bones into a QM, I have read every thread I can find on this forum about it, and I am interested in being at least a little different.

Justin hook me up with a PM and let's make it happen yesterday!

 

I had an Exedy Twin Disk in my 8 and loved it. Just shoot Justin a pm about the install

 

Damn you scott it was a typo.. somebody was sellin those things for like 1299 shipped

either way its no biggie... i slave alot man and have ALOT of stuff going right now on other cars... prolly can get you in sometime soon... just have to take care of some stuff first..

get ur clutch get your fluids and we will go from there

 

Rock on! Can you give me the break down on the fluids I'll need for each?

I am pretty sold on the QM at the moment, but by the time I get prices back from the PMs I sent I might change my mind.

 

yeah QM or carbonetic is nice...

you will need 3 quarts of trans fluid ( we reccomend Redline mt-90 )
A can of the mitsu diaqueen lsd oil

coolant and all that shizzle i got..

 

Consider it done then.

PM what your asking for the install so I know what else I can load up with.. Been eyeballing a couple exhausts too.

Figure if I am potentially going to need a tune might as well get a few parts if I can afford it. My budgets set but my imagination is only starting....

 

ok.. get you a turbo back exhaust..intake...fuel pump.....and a mbc... we will road tune her,.... that will give you a good kick in the azz to play with

 

God I'd love to do all that. Not sure I have the budget but it's always easier to ask for forgiveness right? I was looking at a Walbro 255lph fuel pump. Seems like a pretty good investment for what $100 or so.

 

YUP... shoot man u can get a whole helix turboback from Gruppe-s for like 600bones.... it doesnt have any bend and fits perfect... i am still rocking a helix test pipe and cat back on my 35r set-up... you cant get any betetr for the price... well there is the ebay one that is straight too... and a MBC u can get from one of the boys for like 40bucks
