hodge Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hey Jurgen, any chance of sourcing this clutch and if so, how much would it set one back? It's the noisiest clutch ever, The flywheel rattles at idle and get louder the warmer it gets and the plates chatter when you press the clutch pedal. The noise is horendous. If you can deal with that then its a great clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I took a HKS triple plate out because it needs refurbed it was insane interms of how hard it bit! everybody thought i was a yob reving the car hard then just shooting off at every stop but i stalled it 3 times in about 2 miles trying to slip it. Fitted a carbonetics twin plate from Mr Whiffin and it's a bit lighter and so much better in traffic but i've heard bad things about the tripple of this forum, I've only just completed the 1000 mile run in of the clutch so we'll see how it responds to some proper abuse next time it's out.

Samurai 20V Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Jamesy, hope you dont mind me using your thread... I have the TRD single plate in my car, eventually I want to go GTX35R, I dont know if the TRD will hold the torque it makes? I can get the Exedy or ORC for 1250GBP... I guess they would hold the torque, but would they be okay on the drag strip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If your wanting a twin plate like Jamie's why not just order a new one instead of going 2nd hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If your wanting a twin plate like Jamie's why not just order a new one instead of going 2nd hand. Better to buy new but not everyone has 2 grand to splash on a clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Better to buy new but not everyone has 2 grand to splash on a clutch. I agree sometimes its best to wait, save then buy and not have to buy again It is hard waiting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'm gonna be after a new carbon clutch at some point to Jamesy, probably after Xmas though, I might see what Dusty can do on a price for 2 if you're not in a rush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellstrom Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) People on a budget might want to consider the way i did it. as you will get a hell of a clutch. dunno if its the best for dragracing as you want to slip it a fair bit. but its handle power with no problem. 1tilton pressure plate about 150-200 dollar from US ebay 1tilton flywheel for any setup around 100 dollar 1 set of tilton discs with 14splines 30.8mm shaft around 400-450 dollar 1 tilton realese bearing around 100 dollar then you will need to either work with machines or know someone who can machine the stuff. parts are around 800 us dollars. so id say its a cheap alternative for anyone with lots of power but not lots of wallet i will definatly do this if i ever iam at going single with my supra as the setup on my MK3 was really awsome as Tilton is 100% quality. EDIT, dunno if this would actually work since the stock flywheel is a dualmass in aluminium. the MK3 one was a cast one and alot easier to match the oem flywheel with the yankee one. but iam pretty sure it could be dealt with.
