What are the pros & cons with holes in the cover i have been thinking why lads do it

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

you might drop a 10mm spanner in there and never notice.....

I seriously doubt it!

It looks blingin innit

I think the main reasons are to aid cooling of the clutch and there is also a slight weight saving.
And as they as every little bit helps

"So wat we gonna do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do evernight Pinky!"
"Try to take over the world!"

Careful tho If you do a lot of wet weather driving like retro rally or the likes water can get splashed in and cause clutch slip have had that happen :(

I saw pictures of a wok rescently with holes in the top third and counter sunk holes on the inside of the rest of it.

pros - can see your clutch if enough holes
cons - looks like cheese

That's the one, obviously I don't plan to plagerise that at all...

Looks good and very light, but i got bored drilling 5 holes in my subframe so id never get to that extent.

i'm not even gonna post a pic of mine against that as i just attacked mine with a hole maker and looks like cheese lol

much lighter though

I'm not going to that extent as it's a road car, but I will be using that style of modification.

if you have enough holes you can see whats broken lol

i might put this on my car

yes as has been said meant to add cooling, the cons are dropping nuts and bolts down them if to big, AND if you have an oil pipe over that side of the engine blow off, your clutch get covered! far from ideal!

They look to be about the right size to me. some people go OTT with 20mm plus.

As said before heat is the main reason. I also hack off the starter KNOB. It gets in the way. Only if your running a small light weight starter mind you.

Si

I drill holes in everything..!

I drilled mine partially to save weight but mainly to aid cooling as it does get fooking hot!
