XTD Clutch - Possible GB

[jimgreen]

I need to get a clutch, and it would be great to share the cost if more people want one. These guys -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190231657717&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

They would give us discount if 4 or more ordered.

1 Stands at $243 posted.

[OlberJ]

Yep, count me in for one please Jim, might aswell start ammassing parts for the swap.

[millentubby]

Depending on discount...and how soon they can get it to me...I'm in.

Gearbox is coming off soon and my clutch is a) wack b) contaminated like a motherf**ker.

[jimgreen]

Any more for any more ?

[TbarTurbo]

im in iif its good for the v6 with NA gearbox/flywheel ? although Ian/flash mentioned a decent clutch and price too, hes just fitted one in his gt4 but was a bit on/off for my liking... ill get details if his on msn later.

[OlberJ]

Yeah N/A drivetrain this would be for, going on the link.

Would be interested in this pretty soon folks, jus let me know where to send the cash.

[jimgreen]

Tbar, I'll wait on word from you. We need to think where would be best to post to, if its up to scotland that'll be one bit of UK post we don't have to worry about.

Then if the discount is big enough to cover the cost of posting in the UK.

[TbarTurbo]

ok im in, other clutch is a bit too heavy, will have doh on tuesday :D no rush so transport system should work for me :D

[OlberJ]

Well if you want to get it sent to work we can get them sent out from there by transport system or i'll be up the road soon and can drop off to MT too?

[millentubby]

sounds like a plan :)

[jimgreen]

Right, that's 4 of us, I'll send the email!

[TbarTurbo]

or wait for ten of us, i only saw the post this afternoon and i like big discounts:D

[jimgreen]

I reeeeaaally need mine, it's getting silly now :)

I'll see what he says....

[TbarTurbo]

does he do fidanza's too?

[jimgreen]

$739 posted for all of us. about a tonne each?h

[OlberJ]

Sounds good to me chief. As long as we don't get stung with import tax.

Where does i send me money?

[jimgreen]

he cannot guarantee that obviously, but they mark it as low value.

[millentubby]

If they're marked as 'replacement under warranty' they go through without charge ;)

[jimgreen]

4 clutches :) ?

That's epic fail :)

[OlberJ]

Well, it is TB.

"Quad engined 96V" i like the sound of that lol

[millentubby]

4 clutches :) ?

That's epic fail :)

:blabla:

[snowtigger]

bloke at the bottom says i wonder wot happens if i push this cargo release button hmmm.

[jimgreen]

Right, PM'ing Payment details....

[jimgreen]

Where do we think the best place to send them would be ?

[OlberJ]

Woodsport makes sense for the TB transport system as there's usually folk up here travelling down. and i'll be travelling up to Scotland soon.

But am no fussed, whatever the consensus is.

[jimgreen]

Seems good to me.....when does Kieren (howling_mad) get his v6 done I wonder as he is nearish me.

[OlberJ]

Dunno, i'd have to ask the boss.

Will be down for TOTB, that anywhere near u chief?

[jimgreen]

That's York isn't it ? Miles away :)

[OlberJ]

My geography is rotten, all i know is it's down the way lol

I'll check with Tidy up on Monday when Kieren's booked in.

[millentubby]

Jim - got your PM.

Olie - if you're going in for this do you want to slap the £55 for the other night on top and I'll send Jim the remainder for mine?

[OlberJ]

Can do chief, i thought the first one was free though?

[OlberJ]

Done and Done, Jim u've got £151 coming from me now and £41 from MT. :thumbsup:

[hmmmmm]

Does anyone know what the postage cost would be to get one from uk to holland? I could paypal the money wright know but someone would have to post it to holland.. any takers :hidesbehi

[OlberJ]

I'll post it when it gets here chief, no problems. :thumbsup:

[hmmmmm]

alrighty then :thumbsup: Jimgreen, did you already order or is it still possible to get one extra?

[jimgreen]

no word from TbarTurbo yet. Will wait another day then you can take his space?

[hmmmmm]

ok cool

[OlberJ]

I think Tom's still in on it, have u dropped him a PM Jim?

[jimgreen]

yeh, same time as you gays.

[TbarTurbo]

sorry for not replying sooner, ill get a cheque in the post tomorow if thats ok? unless your accounts with natwest, but u didnt say in the pm? pm again if it is :D

[jimgreen]

Nah, Halifax. It really would be nicer if you could transfer though, by the time I get to the bank to cash the cheque (work is in the sticks) it'll be worth the transfer.

[jimgreen]

Payment all sent. Will check it is cleared at the weekend and then place the order. :thumbsup:

[millentubby]

Jim - I'm yet to send the remainder to you bud.

Having some financial difficulties just now - is there anyone who wants my place in the queue?

[hmmmmm]

yes, right here. JimGreen, if you can send me the payment info ill paypall the money you're way!

[TbarTurbo]

Sent my bank transfer last nite,mite take a few days to clear tho. My clutch will need to go to notts or redsun... Will forward postage when i need it unless transport system fixes it m8.

[jimgreen]

hmmmmm, PM sent. You now have Millentub's. Although you only need to send me 41 and Olber the rest. PM him for details.

[millentubby]

Cheers + sorry Jim - guess I'll have to go without for now :(

hmmmmm - the £55 goes to me - OlberJ was repaying his drug-debts to me! Will PM you where to send it :)

[TbarTurbo]

pmpl how confusing

[jimgreen]

I don't care where the money goes, but if I don't have the right money in my account I'm not ordering anything!! :)

[millentubby]

JIm - just thinking, I'm with HBOS so would be a direct transfer back to me which would help me out greatly and Hmmmmm can sprout the full amount direct to you :)

[jimgreen]

Now that depends if Hmmmm has already transferred. Either way I'm out till sunday night, so it would be quicker if you all sorted it out now.

[millentubby]

Ok bud - plan A.

Hmmmmm needs to send;

£41 to Jimgreen

£55 to Millentubby...

[hmmmmm]

Thats going to be difficult.. ive already got the money in my paypal account like i posted in the topic, if i where to transfer it back to my bank account it would take 5 workdays. And im not in the UK so then it would become more expensive because its a transfer to a foreign country..

So its paypal only for me.. Pls let me know

[hmmmmm]

Just transfered the 55pounds to Millentubby, and pm'ed JimGreen for his paypal adress. As soon as i get it, plan A is a GO/10-4/ROGER/Green Light

[hmmmmm]

allrighty then.. now i just need some tranpost, jimgreen; can you tell me what the cheapest way is to get this thing to me (holland)

[OlberJ]

Well, dependant how quickly they arrive we do have Gidon coming for his car fairly soon, am sure he'd be able to bring it over and then u can sort postage from over there?

[jimgreen]

I'm pretty sure I'll send them to woodsport, but I'll need to send HRH a PM to see if it's ok.

[jimgreen]

Paid!

[OlberJ]

Bonza, i'll get them sorted and dispatched as soon as they arrive then folks. :thumbsup:

[OlberJ]

Yes, they're being delivered to Widsport and i'm sending them out from there. :thumbsup:

[TbarTurbo]

[hmmmmm]

Ok Great, mine can stay @ pauls. One of my country members is coming to paul in the beginning of august so no need to send it out :thumbsup:

[jimgreen]

and mine, will come back with howlin_mad's car I reckon.

[OlberJ]

Kushti, i'll throw some of Johnny's shit out and make some space for them.

:thumbsup:

[TbarTurbo]

ohhhh just noticed there sent by ups... lets all get ready to be hit by the tax man :(

[hmmmmm]

ohoh... better use usps next time...

[jimgreen]

As I said, I have some money left over (the exchange rate changed!) so hopefully it will fit in that.

They also mark it as low value if that helps ?

[OlberJ]

I'll sort it out with you when they arrive Jim, i assume i'll have to pay the tax first?

Or do they charge it to the person who made the order?

[hmmmmm]

The lower value definatley helps :thumbsup: until they loose you're package ofcourse, then you're screwed (in the bad way)
Oh and JimGreen, could you send me the email adress of the seller? I need another clutch and a flywheel, hoping to get it for about the same price..

[TbarTurbo]

ups charged me £38 for a $200 package...

[hmmmmm]

ups charged me £38 for a $200 package...

ehh then wy did you state is was worth $200? Make it $50 or something:idea:

[OlberJ]

Right do you's want the good news or the bad news?

[jimgreen]

I know it's been delivered.

So what's the bad news?

[OlberJ]

At least 2 of these are going in Mk2's :P

[TbarTurbo]

[OlberJ]

Eh?

You've lost me, i jus paid £24 quid. lol

[OlberJ]

No problems Tom, i'll drive down and pick the cable up 2moro night.

Seein as it cost me for the import and wotnot, we call it square on the gear cable?

[TbarTurbo]

Yep not a problem mate, i have the whole gear lever assembly mind, havent looked but maybe bring some pliers or something to take the cable off? the supercharger has some funky short shift which i dont really like so could do with keeping it for spares :D

[TbarTurbo]

jim do you need yours collecting and you could collect from me in tuxford, or meet me on the A1 thursday evening?

[OlberJ]

Eh so they're attached at the gear stick end?

I'll bring some tools lol

[hmmmmm]

Hmmmmm, let me know how you want it sent and we'll arrange that, Tom will pick up his and yours Jim methinks?

:mrgreen:

You had me scared there for a sec :thumbsup: Anyways, if you could get mine to paul's that would be fine. Gidonlamboo (whos 2 is being swapped by paul atm) is coming to paul the third of august so he will be picking it up.

[OlberJ]

Yep, that's where i work mate lol You're clutch is sitting here and i'll put it in Gidon's boot for you. :thumbsup:

Looks like no extra postage needed if Jim gets his from Tom.Jim, can you let me know before 2moro nite as am off to meet Tom then. ta.

[jimgreen]

Could you put it in Kierens (Howlin_Mad) boot? (The Red one in for a V6) he only lives down the road from me, and it is supposed to be done by the end of the month ?

Let me know paypal and I'll dump some monies in your account.

[Howlin_Mad]

Might be mid-late August before you get it Jim but if you can wait that long i can drop it in when i'm travelling back from Pauls as mentioned earlier - not too far a detour. Plus you can whinge at my awful red and orange car if i do that :thumbsup:

Kieren

[OlberJ]

Jim, hmmm, if you'd like to chuck the shipping and courier tax to the TB van fund's way that'd be sweet. :thumbsup:

[hmmmmm]

Jim, hmmm, if you'd like to chuck the shipping and courier tax to the TB van fund's way that'd be sweet. :thumbsup:

-3 quid. You all paid 1 pound more lol.
If i understand it thats already paid for?
( transfered €10 for the van, was already planning on it anyway so :thumbsup: )

[TbarTurbo]

[hmmmmm]

[OlberJ]

Nah cos i gotta pay my share of it, so it's £6 each, about 10 EUR lol

[TbarTurbo]

[hmmmmm]

[OlberJ]

Sorry Jim, that spastic Olie forgot to put your clutch in Mr Mad's boot for you. PM me your address and i'll get it sent down.

You organising the goup buy and being the last one to get your clutch :hmm:

[TbarTurbo]

OMG... and jim could be collecting my cam covers shortly, so i could have bought it back with mine!! :(

[jimgreen]

Gayness :)

[Howlin_Mad]

Olie - my fault - i forgot to ask about the clutch! Was kinda excited when i got there! I've spoken to Paul and he's sending Jim's clutch down to me at work - then i can run it up to him in the week.

Kieren

[hmmmmm]

Sorry to dig this thread up from the dead, but ive got one of these 2 years ago and cant for the life of me remember if this whas a turbo clutch or an NA model?

[OlberJ]

It was definitely NA that i got.

Still have it with the brand new pressure plate and a friction plate with 2k on it. Took it off and went back to a normal rather than paddled plate.

If anyone wants it they can have it cheap.

[hmmmmm]

Tnx mate!

[foxy-stoat]

Looking at buy an uprated n/a clutch, how did these go in the end, where there uprated or standard?

:)

[hmmmmm]

They are 6 puck clutches, so its a different style of clutch. They slip less so grip faster. There are different stages available, from stage 1 for pure street/city driving to stage 4 for track use. I haven't used this one yet but my other mk2 v6 has a 6 puck clutch which is very similar to this one, and i dont want anything else. It grips straight away, after around 2 cm pedal travel. I can still easily drive it around town and parking isnt a problem either, even my mom has driven it without any problem, parking in 3rd gear (she thought it was 1st, but didn't notice it because there is enough torque :) )
