timo Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 hi guys am thinking of buying a 350 after 10 year of mr2 ownership went for a test drive at my local dealer the other day, love'd the car , BUT the dealers car i drove felt like the clutch was going the pedal had quite a bit of travel and the biteing point felt very high, makeing me look like a learner driver the dealer said they are all like it and that i should dial in 2500rpm+ to set off my heel was off the floor felt very odd is this true also i'm after a 296bhp version but a 309bhp would be better can someone tell be when this version came out many thanks Quote
martinmac Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, the clutch can take a little getting used to. If you want the 313 version look out for an 07. It has the bonnet bulge so is easy to recognise. Quote
Jay Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Welcome mate! Get a zed you wont regret it Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 when i got mine it had a high bite point took a while to get used to but no problem now. best to check if the clutch is going by puttng it in 4th gear, take it up to 2000 rpm d then drop the clutch. if cluth is good should jst about be abl to pull away or move slightly efore stalling. if it stall straight away, clutch is going Quote
bronzee Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Welcome to the forum Timo. Take a few for a blast, will give you a better basis as to what's normal and what isn't. Quote
Zee Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 When i took my Zed out for a test drive last week I stalled it at the first Junction and looked like a right newbie! It took me a mile or two to get used to the clutch but i had the excuse of owning a semi automatic for the past 3.5 years! oh and to the Forum! Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 to the club Like bronzee said, try some others to get a comparison. Personally I don't think the clutch is that high or need to dial in so many revs. It is down to driving styles though so thats why its good for you to make the comparison. Quote
timo Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 thanks guys will do i've got a stage 1 clutch in my mr2turbo so was expecting some differance Quote
j19edg Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Welcome from a fellow newbie Stalled mine a couple of times, too the great amusement of my daughter. You will soon get used to it.. Quote
