Chiefgroover Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I fitted a new stock clutch 3,000 miles ago. It was doing a good job until i upped the power and got a load more traction. Last night on the dry roads my clutch "spun and stank" while tring to do 1/4 mile runs. The combination of the Bridgestone RE050a 275/35/18 and the hypermax 2's set to soft was just too much for it. I'm real happy with the traction, but it seems it comes at a price. (last year had crap off the line traction). For those of you who have fitted an uprated clutch, what was the pedal pressure like, and did it have a progressive action for decent town driving?. whats the make and cost of yours? What BHP do I run? you make your own mind up on that one, UK spec BPU + FMIC+ 264 cams + F-con pro + twin power +100bhp nitrous + envy [email protected] + walbro. Thanks for you time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I have a pressure plate for sale that would stop this problem... An RPS street plate.. Pedal pressure is slightly higher than stock but to tolds a lot more.. £100 and its yours , It was used for 11 months and dropped out because Ive was going single and its was not man enough and I knew it would not be.

neo1 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Have an HKS Tripple plate effort, Holds 1000 + BHP, there is NO slip at all, it's the stop and go type that makes you grab your ankles in traffic on the plus side it will soak up everything you can give it and spit it back in your face Cost is somewhere over a grand i think.... Comes with a light-weight fly-wheel though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Go with an RPS Max street, that will suit your needs perfectly, nice easy take up just a bit heavier than standard, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
