Re the lift, a 130 leans forward quite significantly already, so unless you plan on carrying heavy loads I would not lift the rear more than the front.

Why single mass clutch? I have seen it in two cars - Def 110 and Disco 2 - both heavy loaded for hard offroad trips and botch ditched it back to dual mass. Without dual mass cars were rattling like a dog when engine was running on idle or a bit higher. From outside it was like there is something broken. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo |

If your taking a European spec defender to a hotter climate it might be worth thinking about the following.

The dual mass is nice for comforts, but once you start pushin the power levels up, you better off removing it. It will rattle a little, and it will sound a little odd, but them be the trade offs in the quest for more power. |

Jetski in the summer, or dirtbikes in the winter. I went with the 500kg 40mm lift OME rear springs, may get the 300kgs and use the airbags for similar results, and will get the 30mm front springs. This way i raise the vehicle up just a tad, and gain the extra capacity. I scored the MAXXTRAC wheels, 20x9 with a 10mm offset. Dont need wheel spacers, and will give me that little more room for the 305 tires... |

Both of cars I have experience with single mass were used for competition (not professional), so the power was not just a bit higher. And both went back for dual mass, without any problem.

And yet I ran a Rakeway single mass flywheel for years. To be totally honest on my car there was almost no noticeable increase in noise or harshness and I would never go back to a dual mass if I had a TD5 again. 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/Auto

Dual or single, i have read that there really isnt any difference in driving nor comfort. Personally i prefer single as its less maintenance, and easier to service...

So i have been playin with the idea to twincharge my little beast with either a 1600 or 2300 whipple charger. I would put the whipple before the turbo charger as not to suck up too much hp to keep the boost up. The nice think about these whipples are they are thin, 100mm. And about 250mm long. So if i do install the aircon i can lay this right over it.

Still disagree with signal clutch. Makes it a pig to drive, transmission shock and all sorts. My 110 is pushing 200bhp and 450nm standard clutch with no slipping or issues. |
