slipper clutch setting

[dave p hall]

hi all, im going to give mini pins a go in me lazer to try and get some more grip on carpet mainly at york venue(huntington) but im a bit worried about it being a bit slippeyer on the polish so just wondering how everyone else has the slipper set on their zx5.

I run it tight as my touring car doesn't need it so why should my buggy, if you can see the logic. I see your point if you have carpet and slippery floor, i would just go easy on the throttle on the slippy bits.

Because your touring car doesn't do jumps?! Hopefully

i set mine so it slips for about 1 meter at launch.

you need some slip or you will strip spurs or internal gears.

just to give me a rough idea mate,how much of the thread is showing where you adjust slipper.

Do yourself a favour and fit a low profile alloy wheel nut ( preferably blue ) to adjust the slipper, that way the plastic locking ring in the nut will be on the thread properly HTH

Dude, if you set your slipper for polished floor it will slip like a biiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaattttttcccccchhhhhhh on the carpet. Once they've been bedded in you should have no problems at York.
