kylestt Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm always 100% for RPS as they make a top notch product. For your goals, I would recommend the stage 1 street disk if you plan on not racing, if you do race, go stage 2 and get the 6puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 oh and maybe in the future when my engine goes i might go single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylestt Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 wow, its turning into a costly upgrade now. I hate it when you swap a clutch and you HAVE to put a big single on it hehe. I put my personal supra down for an oil change 2 weeks ago and now i seem to be running bigger fuel pumps, bigger injectors...etc. Its crazy!

Nic Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 At stock or BPU levels use either a stock clutch or possibly fit replacement TRD disc and clutch cover. I would avoid any aftermarket clutches unless you actually NEED one (ie. the clutch cannot cope with the power), as they all tend to be heavy to use and noisy.

Tones Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Stock would be perfect in fairness, i drove my friends one across the uk with an RPS clutch (Street max maybe?) and i found it fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am using an RPS street sport, which i got at a good price from Kylestt, and it is just the same peddle feel as std clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 As mentioned on the phone... If that mileage I saw on your car was correct then it's probably the lowest mileage on any Supra in the UK (even beats the Do-Luck one!) The engine shouldn't go pop any time soon. As you're not planning anything beyond BPU for the forseeable future I'd either opt for a stock clutch, or a very mildly uprated aftermarket one such as the HKS street. There's just no point going for a seriously uprated one at BPU level, especially due to the heavier pedal and harsher engagement you'll get.

gaz1 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 hollar pm me some prices mate, 600bhp but not drasticly noisy or heavy on the knees;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 kylestt's clutch prices are very good. im impressed with my rps clutch. its rated for 450bhp, slightly lower bighting point and harder feel but nothing you dont get used to after a couple of mins of driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Available now: Uprated MKIV TT clutches. I use the stock, brand new driven plate, as it is correctly balanced, doesn't judder and will hold all but mega torque highly modded engines or cars used for drag racing. I modify a stock brand new cover to give more clamping force. The reason I tooled up to do these is some of the aftermarket US clutches I have fitted SEEM to be built from used cover assemblies with reground friction surfaces, and a stronger spring. I have had hellish trouble getting these to fully release, because due to this seemingly thinner cast iron friction face, the geometry of the clutch goes to pot, and being a pull type clutch (the hydraulics pull the bearing away from the engine, rather than the more normal push type) it is a lot harder to effect a cure. For 475 pounds, no VAT to pay, you get a brand new driven plate, a brand new modded cover, and a brand new release bearing. I would rather fit myself so any complaints are down to me, I see too many clutches juddering due to someone without the right gear allowing the gearbox input shaft to bend the driven plate. The gearboxes weight is allowed to swing on the plate centre, bending the centre, or clutches fitted to patently buggered flywheels. However, I might be persuaded to sell to people using bona fide fitters to install one. Toyota use a dual mass flywheel (the flywheel is in 2 parts, an inner and outer assembly, damped in the middle) which is now showing signs of wear causing a lot of rattle when idling or on very light throttle openings. For God knows what reason they are charging about 270 quid for a new one, they look more like they should be over 500 to me, but don't say anything :-) So if the flywheels old enough or abused enough to be scored it's best replaced. If pressed I will sell the clutch kit, which includes a new release bearing for a 3rd party to fit. Fitting by myself will cost £175. Reply privately if interested please.
