Ah, yeah, course. So you keep right foot planted on throttle but when clutch is depressed it limits revs until released.

Doug lost - it took me until 10am haha.

Booked in for LC/FTGS (with some other bits and bobs) next Friday because of you. Meh. :assflash: :bigblink:

I have to disagree on the clutch. It was developed on my old car and I loved it. Little heavier but other than that superb

I'm in the market for a new clutch early next year - what's the damage inc fitting roughly?

Flat shift, basically keep your foot planted on the throttle when changing gear, I believe it cuts ignition but leaves fuel so that when you come off the clutch there is no delay. If I went full precat (got 200cell) it would flame nicely.
I'd be surprised (and a little worried) if it cut ignition but continued to fuel - unburnt fuel into the cat will overheat it at best and cars have gone up in flames because of this.
It sounds as if it is introducing a lower rpm limit when the clutch is depressed. Simple but effective.

Ok maybe awful is a little severe, it is certainly not a clutch you would want to sit in traffic with everyday.

The lobos clutch itself is around £1300. I think MRC have a fixed clutch price don't they on their website? They didn't fit my clutch and I know they offer other alternatives which aren't quite as nasty as a 6 padde but still hold good power.

Maybe you are right ADSGREEN, that is a question for Doug and his team.

The Loba clutch should settle and you'll get used to it. It's still running in my old car hassle free. It will take a <beep> load of abuse anyway

Don't get me wrong I love the clutch and bought it for the strength of it. Its only done about 1000 miles so far so maybe it will calm down. Everyone who has driven my car stalls it first time though!

It is mate yes. Quite happy with the figures. Think it was something like 623nm with the 200 cell cats. I havent had the graph through yet though.

Those are fantastic figures. You should set up a camera to film your face when booting it for the first time. Enjoy Saturday, look forward to hearing about it.

Yes it is. But it is a bit of a pain in stop start traffic. Although it's much easier to control with "S" button off.
