I have the Sachs paddle clutch on my 172 turbo with a light flywheel. It's about as heavy as the stock clutch but it's very sharp, you need to keep the revs up. For track work it's great. For maneuvering, it's not the best as you need to keep the revs on more than normal. I'm also...

I find it easy enough to heel and toe. Once you are on the brakes the throttle is in a nice position for a quick blip. As long as your tyres are decent and warm I wouldnt expect you to be locking up on track.

There's a pipe fitting under the moulding where the coilpack is.

Clutch and light flywheel as its all exposed.

Actually, im using the MT90, not sure what difference that makes other than it seems to be more expensive.

This is what I have, hence a little gutted to flush it out but needs must.

Mmm, I see on google it mentions to flush the oil after 500 miles. Better put this on the ever growing list of things...

I've got a blackline and its brilliant, seems to be handling the extra power too. Never heard of having to flush the gearbox oil though, where did you hear this @Matt Cup ?

Wish I had this document when I was doing my conversion! The one that came with the kit was awful!

Its crude but it terminates near the coilpack if we are talking about the same pipe.

From memory it goes on the back of the inlet manifold.

I've got this adjustable BG one on mine and its been spot on, loads of adjustment too...

Yeah I got that eventually, same ones I have. Definitely best to give it to a proper alignment shop in my experience. Everything affects everything. So if you add camber you get more toe in (think it's that way around) and vice versa.

To be honest, I'm not sure on caster. Mine has some additional but only because the garage set the mounts up badly. If I was using mine only for fast road use, I'd stick with solid top mounts and not worry about it. I'm not sure additional camber on the road made much difference tbh. I...

Agree with the above. I tried to get my usual garage to do a nice track setup and they really struggled with the castor/camber balance on the top mounts. For reference, I have 3.4deg negative and it's a pig on the road but it only really drives to the track. Personally, I would leave the...
