Maybe if she put a wonder woman outfit on she'd be able to. Probably worth the experiment I'd have thought.

I think one of the guys in our club has one, I'll ask him at club night tomorrow if i can try and press his pedal *happy*

Ha, your missus is the same height as my mum, makes me feel better when I see her. *hehe!*

I'm hoping I won't have too much of an issue as I have quite big feet and fairly strong legs although I assume it's one of those things you just get used to. We shall see *laughing*

I'd say a orange would not hold the torque of the engine.

Have you got a mate with a grey in the car so you can have a feel of the clutch.

It's not just about the feel of the pedal. What about the poor thrust bearings?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Get her some clown shoes. Platforms and high heels are quite good for stiff clutches too.

Mine are a little bit bigger at a size 6-7 *happy*

Stick an orange in there and wind the boost down for her *smiley*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Or even better an RTS it would be nice to see how much an ultimate RTS could handle.

Old thead I know but...

I have a grey diaphragm which came out of a kad 16v hillclimb mimi. I'm unsure of the milage but can diaphragm become weaker with time/milage?
I'm asking as mine slips badly at 8psi or above!!
I'm going to pull it out and check the lugs on the backplate, but should I reolace the diaphragm for a new grey one? So i know it's at its full potential?
Is it possible to use a double grey with a normal clutch plate (non paddle plate)?

Thanks,
Josh

I'm sure if you think of the way it works, it stands to reason that it could potentially become weaker over time.
I've run a double grey and Rally/Race plate for years.

What torque figure does yours run?

Also where did you get a double grey from? Can't find it listed on minispares site
