[Mr Gav]

I have been told DMF were fitted to Omagas, I am not a fan, they seem pointless to me. I had a single mass fitted to my wifes TDCi Mondeo and I cant notice any difference.

Also they are heavier I think. I do fancy a lighter one but not sure I can warrant £250 odd for a lightened one.

You will aslo have to factor in the price of a clutch plate with a sprung hub, the Omegas don`t have these as the driveline damping is taken care of by the DMF.
I think TTV have made one for an Omega before so suit the standard pressure plate and then you could use the friction disc from a 20LET, it`s slightly smaller in diameter but would easily cope with the torque of the 3.0l.
I had one from them for my Senator and there`s a few people on the ABS forum using them in Monza`s.

OK, thanks. I will not be tuning the engine though. AS I have not done anything like this for a while I am sort of using it to get back up to speed.

My next project, it was due to be this one but the MX turned up, is a Se7en type with a BMW 4.0 V8 manual.

But I am not holding my breath.

There are loads of manuals on Ebay, thanks. Its agood idea anyway to have some reference for the engine/box etc.

Am I correct that the MV6 has an LSD? Not sure if the MX diff will cope so might keep the Omega diff handy.

also, do remember that whatever you transplant into an MX-5 shell, you must, must, must, must, must re-use the torque arm that connects the diff to the gearbox. The shell isn't designed to take torque reaction and som will end up corkscrew-shaped if you don't tie the two together.

I wondered why they did it that way, thats a good bit of info, and to be honest I was going to re use it anyway thinking it wasnt there for nothing.

Thanks
