Bunga Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Omni power QMC (Quicklutch Master Cylinder). Worth it or a waste my time and money?
CleanGSR Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Looks like a really cool product from what I've seen.
TS John Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I hear it makes your clutch pedal real stiff but can increase your shift speed. If that's worth it to you then go all out, man. I think SSR has it. Ask how he likes it as a DD.
..SSR.. Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Makes it really stiff. Makes it sit 2-3" above the floor. I like it just because it takes out all the f*cking slack from the stock MC making it easier to get to out on track.

Bunga Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 So how is it for daily driving though. Does it get annoying after a while?
..SSR.. Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Easier to get to meaning it is pretty much on the floor. I don't have to lift my leg up to get to it. Just pull the toe end of my foot up a little. Only time it gets annoying is when I'm in heavy traffic for an hour or more. By the time I get out of it, my leg is on fire.
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I've heard it's about level with the dead pedal which (as SSR said) would be really convenient.
Bunga Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 that doesn't sound to bad then. I'm really considering giving it a whirl. I guess i won't know till i find out.
cranny Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 i have to ask this , is there a problem with the one in the car? has it ever gave you a hassle in shifting or different situations? i just cant see spending money on somin like that. sooner spend the money on somin else. how much are they exactly?
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 It's no different than spending the money on a short shifter. It's a convenience item more than anything IMO.
Bunga Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 I think on the omni site they were saying something like $250 or somewhere around that. At the moment i'm not having issues with my MC, but it would somewhat seem like more of a convience thing. It's not on my high priority list right now. There are actually some other things i need to get for it first like some new rotors and brakes. I was thinking willwood or ebc. I heard ebc was pretty good because they dimple thier rotors then crossing drilling them. Any suggestions because i'm all ears??
..SSR.. Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 You can get it under $200. Why replace it? Its lets you shift fast. I shift faster with my stock shifter than my friends who have short shifters. And I get to keep my shifter closer to the wheel.
Pyrorocketeer Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 so if you shift so fast with your normal shifter, why wouldn't you upgrade so you can shift even faster....
Ben. Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Maybe he just doesn't want to? I liked my shortshifter, personally.
TS John Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 SSRs point is that he has the QMC, which allows him to shift with the speed of a short shifter without the cons of a short shifter (further away from the wheel). I think that makes sense. So the results are in: faster shift times owing to less travel distance in the pedal. Cons: stiffer pedal with less margin for error.
Bunga Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 I think the pros definatley outweigh the cons. Anyone disagree?
cranny Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 that master cylinder doesnt allow you to shift any faster , lol , hilarious. tell me please , how does it make you shift faster? this otta be good? cause it has an inch less clutch pedal travel? its a waste of money , given the fact the stock one does the job good enough. plus it will make your car less user friendly by making clutch pedal harder. sillynous. we come back to the old , dont fix it if it aint broken thing. spend the money on somin you could use or will do you good.
Joe W Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 If you want it, you should wait till you need to replace it then buy the omni, but thats just me.
Bunga Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Well like i said before and i'll say it again gentleman. It's not a high pri on my to do list. It's just something that i'm throwing out there and seeing what everyone thinks about it. I still need to pick up a clutch and brakes.

Actually it's about 3 inches less pedal travel. The clutch sits about 3 inches off th floor with this "upgrade". I'll see if I can find a picture I saw recently of it installed. Edit: Here's before and after pictures with the clutch disengaged. Before After

mycarsux Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 how would you know? you havent ever used one. and who are you to tell people how to spend their money? He's Canadian dammit, he can do damn well what he pleases.
Pyrorocketeer Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 how would you know? you havent ever used one. and who are you to tell people how to spend their money? Wanna know something.... its a waste of money. If it is a track car, maybe someone should look into it. If it is for the street, spend your money elsewhere. he could go out and buy it, then come back and complain cause it is too stiff for the street. he wasn't telling anyone anything. he was suggesting.
