Hey all since my car was mapped by kj16v she's kicking out much more power and lots more torque.

This is what it made before mapping so expect more....it's very different now

Car is fantastic to drive!

However if I give her a full throttle "pod"'style launch:- she's fine in first, but slips quite alot in 2nd! One rolling shes fine in 2nd just on a harsh launch.

Running a standard saches clutch doing less than 5000 miles!

Really don't want a 5gtt clutch! Hate the feel of it!

have you ever had the flywheel refaced? you've had a couple of clutch failures IIRC, so the friction face probably isn't in the best condition, leading to a short life of new clutches.
