These bolts are meant to be lower you dwat.
Dunno about this getup.... Tilton ring is more of a circular plate..

Not even freakin close. That ring gear is meant to sit inside the bellhousing 5-6mm. Not outside of it.

I don't know what im going to do right now. All I know is I need a freakin clutch that fits. I'm pretty sure that Jim wouldn't be very forthcoming with the $2000 he owes me for the clutch side of the job. Especially seeing as he's had to modify so much poo poo.

So where does that leave me? freaked. Did your BMW mate ever get a clutch that ended up actually fitting?

Mate, this car is the epitome of bad luck. I should just burn it now whilst I'm still partially sane.

Yeah, what a load of poo poo. This could have been made to fit with some simple flywheel alterations. If I'd have known all this hassle was going to ensue I would have never entertained his idea. Now I feel like I've gone borked a perfectly good bit of kit and at this stage, I still don't have something that'll fit and will probably need a new flywheel anyway?! freaking hell.

I opted to pay the extra money compared to other joints to get it done by someone who was deemed the best in their field. I wouldn't be so damn annoyed if it didn't seem like hes just left me in the lurch now. I'll be test fitting this weekend for measurements, tell him how much more room I need, and telling him to sort it. I paid him for a clutch to fit my MR2. Not an overpriced paperweight.

So over getting arsed around by anyone I have to deal with.

He keeps asking me what its hitting on. Well, freakin everything really. Nothing I can just grind away, unless I want the output shaft falling onto the lap of my clutch. Just remove the bellhousing he says, and remove some material. The bellhousing is 1 piece with the casing! "Oh, its one of those integrated things is it?" YES!

Yes, he likes to do unusual poo poo, instead of keeping it simple.. Seems to think everyones design is flawed. Seems to love the Sachs items though. This is freaked, all I want is a useable clutch, or some sort of refund and I'll take my business elsewhere. [:-(]

Give me a bpu supra anyday, i know how you feel...crap mr2, better left stock! haha

That being said, i havent really read your whole thread, but whats stopping you using an Exedy clutch off the shelf?

+1 for the OS twin plate.

Stick it out because it will be worth it. I had similar feelings at a couple of points in my build but when it is all together and flat out at 7000 you smile and go "F*&k yeah - this is where it's at"

I've just put up a WTB on oc forums for any tilton kit that might still be floating around, even they aren't a total bolt in solution as they use the hydraulic release bearing which has to be retrofitted to the bellhousing. At least they fit at all. I don't know how I'd go get any sort of refund for my clutch though, even though its unused, as he pretty much makes them to order (although obviously not made quite right). Stressing me the freak out. [:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]
