Clutch slip

[Leeds s3]

fair play that is kind of on the limit for the std item, i just thought id get another std one fitted for free and even if i only get a few thousand miles out of its still worth it.

You not fancy running an evoms with your other mods?

[MAT ED30]

u got one if so i could be up for one as i have been thinking of an intake as its on the list

Will the shortshift fit a 2008 car. Im sure i remember reading that the forge shortshift kit doesnt fit my2008 cars?

No!! Don't even attempt it! Trust me!!!!!!!!!

I take it you have tried to fit one on yours?
Whats different about the 2008 boxes?

[Leeds s3]

lol i do but its staying put, deffo worth it though as i certainly felt a small gain plus the sound is nice. Try statller in Sheffield as the had some in stock.

You have a PM.

With regard to whats different - the clip design that secures the cable to the shifter arms has changed, and some other little things with how the shifter arm connects to the centre pivot shaft.

It's as Kev at Revo says: Each one of us needs to draw our own line in the sand and not step over it.

The problem is that a line in the sand is easy to rub out and place further down the line.  My initial intention was for a Revo Stage 1 remap and a Forge DV to be sensible and safe... now I'm on Revo Stage 2+ and yesterday found myself looking at G2871R turbos    and Revo Stage 3...  I'm not going to go there though as I don't want to start messing with the internal engine parts - its Karl's fault as he spoke to me about the S3 that had the conversion done at Santa Pod and was getting sub-12s 1/4 mile times

He got  a 12.7 in the end mate.. I think that a sub 12 second run is possible with that car though, its mental fast! Though I was going to be the first in the UK to go big turbo DSG lol..

Excuse my ignorance on all things clutches 

But what's the difference between the Paddle clutch and the likes of the sachs organic clutch

The organic clutch plate is a large plate.. It looks like this..

This is a paddle clutch

The advantage of a paddle plate over an organic drive plate is that the clamping force is higher due to the smaller surface area. The downside is that it makes the engagement pretty sudden.

Was there a car at the Pod that posted a sub-12s time?  I thought there was, but maybe I was thinking too much about sub-12s times and dreaming

Nothing that I saw apart from a turbo Civic type R on drag slicks!

Well if thats the case, then your 12.98s time is amazing then as his S3 has the advantages of 4wd and a monster turbo     I'm beginning to think that the Edition 30 is a really special car...

Hmmm .... worrying stuff, yet another post remap issue - makes me wonder how other manufacturers such as Ford & Vauxhall can offer they cars already with aftermarket remaps from dealer without without the hassle some of us seem to be getting here.

....I don't know the details but I expect that the dealer's aftermarket remaps are probably 'only' Stage1 and so are still well within the factory tolerances, whereas a lot of the guys here are pushing the envelope further and can expect to have issues, especially without some important mechanical mods.

I think the GTi's here suffering with clutch issues are also only stage 1.  My stage 1 ED30 should be around the 290 - 300 bhp and similar torque figures.  Just getting concerned.

i managed to get the clutch done under warranty (Audi s3) as it is a fault that vag are aware of. The car is running an evoms and giac software with no problems.

Maybe try your luck and see if you can get it for free unless your wanting to go silly power? I would have thort that being fwd the ed30 will be slightyly easier on the clutch anyway so you should see at least 20k if your running around 300bhp.

Bluefin stage 1 for 1 month, not overly impressed with it either for the fact that it has ruined 2nd gear accleration ... and now after 1500 miles, 3k 6th gear and clutch starting to slip ... ffs ... wish I'd never bothered with remap now ... between ECU lights flashing, misfires, 2nd gear spoilt and now clutch slipping ...  I dunno ... unimpressed is putting it mildly ... another phonecall to superchips AGAIN !

May just leave it and try getting it changed under warranty in the future - surely the dealer will smell a rat with a clutch slipping with 14000k on the clock

^^^ Gareth, I edited your post so the quotes where visible 

Have you tried the new map from SC yet???
