    Trap doesn't mean anything in a race. All about that ET. Gearing and etc plays into the trap. I shift into 6th before the line so it kills my trap. But I bet my ET was really good :) When I shift from 5th to 6th I got from pulling 1.3Gs to .6 Gs.... Just kills the momentum and I lose 8-10 mph.

     

    Nice!!! 1.3 G when accelerating in 5th. How much G are you pulling in first or second gear?

  7. Kevlar Clutches

    I also have a Kevlar clutch from Hi Tech Exotic in my 2004 E-gear Gallardo. I used to get a lot of bucking with oem but Hi tech Kevlar is a lot smoother. I've put more than 30,000 miles on my Hi Tech Kevlar and I still had 50% left when I did my last snapshot. My original only lasted 8k miles. With an E-gear, it really matters who you get your Kevlar from. The set up is really important when it comes to E-gear.

     

    I have done probably about 10 track weekends with a lot of 8k rpm shifting and I have never had any drive line problems. I got over 40,000 miles on my Gallardo and the gearbox is perfect.

     

    Btw at 8k rpm Hi tech shifts a lot faster and crisper. I can really tell the difference at the track.

  16. running aftermarket clutch on egear 08 gallardo?

    Hey guys. My car is due for a clutch and have been considering an aftermarket/kevlar version. It seems these heavy duty clutches work well on manual, but have read a number of reports that egear cars have issue with smooth engagement or require frequent PIS adjustments.

     

    Whats the final word on these? There are lots of positive reviews, but most local exotic car shops just recommend the factory stuff. I do tons of city driving, so I'd love to get more life out of a clutch. Just hate to buy one and have to frequently visit my tuner to adjust the clutch settings.

     

    Any thoughts?

     

    You're right... Not all Kevlar clutches work well with E-gear. A good Kevlar clutch is smoother than a stock clutch. I have a 2004 Gallardo with E-gear.I have Hi Tech Exotic Kevlar clutch in mine. You know that 04 Gallardo E-gear is notorious for bucking and not being smooth with a stock clutch. When I installed Hi Tech Exotic, it was smoother than my stock. I would say 90% of the bucking went away. Hi Tech uses high quality Kevlar, not the cheap stuff.

     

    Also their Kevlar clutch lasts a lot longer than stock. My stock clutch lasted only 8k mi. I got over 30k mi on my Hi Tech and I still have 50% left.

  20. Gallardo clutch usage

    Try not to use Auto. You slip the clutch more when it's in Auto. Put it in Sport. Sport slips the clutch the least. When you wanna take off, don't feather the throttle. The more gentle you are with the the throttle, the more you'll slip the clutch. I always wait for the other cars go a little bit so I can be more aggressive with the throttle. You want the clutch to engage as quick as possible.

  24. Pega resurfaced clutch for $1200? Anyone?

    Pega clutch is not good at all. There are a few people who got their clutch and had problem shifting. Deonss is right that you should have your flywheel balanced and matched too. There was a guy on R8talk and Pega clutch didn't do it with the flywheel and he couldn't shift at all.

     

    Pega clutch is very sneaky and dishonest. I have Hi Tech Exotic kevlar clutch and have been happy with their kevlar clutch. Pega clutch stole my positive feedback about my Hi Tech Exotic clutch and put it on their website pretending that my positive feedback was about their clutch.
