ORC Metal Twin Clutch P559D Series

Received call by Formula MB, told me that they don't have ready stock of Nismo Big Operating Cylinder and ORC clutch line, if making order I have to wait at least few weeks(Damn Nismo Malaysia -_-). So I think the best way is to source out the remaining items at outside by myself. Anyway, I have been told that my ORC clutch and HKS 150 Air filter sponge was arrived and I collected both items in this evening. Here is the pictures....

Items I collected today....

HKS 150 Mushroom sponge.

ORC Metal Twin Clutch P559D Series.

Part number: ORC-P559D-NS0104

Direction book and grease...

I was thinking of McD fillet O fish while see this picture, kekeke~

Can't wait to install it to my Hippo.... "kerinnGggggGGGgG"

See the two pressure plate? ^_^

Random shot...

Last shot of ORC clutch kit....

This clutch kit is come along with:
- P559D Metal Twin Damper-less Clutch
- Sleeve bearing
- Direction book
- ORC decal
- Grease

You might be wonder why I choose P559D but instead of P659D, because this model is much more balance whether in power transfer, responsive and most important its not completely "button" type(easy for half clutch); Which P659D only concentrate in power transfer. I might be wrong but I read this from http://www.gpmotor.com.hk/orc_metal.html, it stated "另有傳達力、反應、吊極力子感覺均達到高度平衡的559系列，及以傳達力為重點的659系列設定。"

Clutch Slipping

Yesterday went out to dinner with my BlueHippo. I drove as usual but this time I felt the friction point of my clutch have a bit strange... At 1st I thought that maybe is I over suspect my clutch, but this happen at every 1st gear when the car begin to move from still. Eventually I came to MRR2 highway, which allowed me to accelerate..... The car seems like retard and not responsive at early stage of accelerate, rev increasing but my car didn't pull as usual. While going back home, I heard that is some sound from the clutch when I releasing my clutch pedal. At this moment, I guess my clutch is time to go.....

Actually within this few months I had do some research on clutch, because when I service my Hippo at 5 months ago, my mechanic told me my clutch is a bit slip but still can use it. So far from my research, I personal fall in love to ORC Metal Twin Clutch P559D/ P659D model, the main reason I love ORC twin clutch because it will provide a "keringgGggGg" sound when turning on the engine, this sound is caused by the flywheel if not mistaken. Hehehehe :-)

Since my clutch is slipping now, this afternoon I head up to Formula MB and ask Adil to order few items for me:
- ORC Metal Twin Clutch P559D
- ORC Clutch line with ORC clutch fluid
- Nismo big operating cylinder

Real item picture will be up after I collected.

3rd Maintenance @ Formula MB

Time flies, 4 months is just the corner since I did my 2nd maintenance at Formula D. Thus, I decided to make the 3rd maintenance this morning since I off today. I insist go back to the same workshop but this time not Formula D, its changed the name to Formula MB~

I have been told by Hafizd I just have to change the engine oil and oil filter. Because so far my Hippo don't have any problem with the Motul 300V 15W50 hence I insist to use back the same engine oil without try others brand. Besides of engine oil and oil filter, I also ask them to take out my front bumper to make good the grill located at oil-cooler side. The grill is loose at bottom part and will be fall out if not make it good, I bet its caused by high speed run. At 1st, Hafizd try to use silicon to "stick" the grill, its work but I think same problem will happen after the few high speed run, thus Shiva suggest to use Poly Putty + hardener cream on the grill, this material did a good job and I believe the grill can't fall out even go for hundred times of Sepang track! Thanks Shiva as well as Hafizd~ ^_^

*Formula MB*

Pictures took before BlueHippo being drag in for service~

On hydraulic jack....

There is a FD3S there, she need some time and effort to make good -_-

Jack up for oil drained.

Using back the same engine oil~ Motul is always my 1st choice ^_^

Formula MB's champion! Mouse and butterfly killer *miaooooOO~*

Bumper is take out to make good the grill.

Front 6-pot AP Racing brake caliper.

Ohlins suspension. Note: Not suitable for pregnancy, trust me!!

Found out my grill was actually held by silicon....

Best way to hold the grill is using this > poly putty with hardener acceleration. Smell good to me ^_^

Wondering what brand is this oil-cooler, it got 12 layers. The blue bulb is signal light.

GReddy B.O.V, love to hear my BlueHippo's fart~

ARC Intercooler.

Job done~

Few pictures took before I go back home~
