bayside_supra Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Hi guys Did a search but could not find anything relating to this power level since a post from 2012, so hopefully options have changed since then! Car is a 6 speed V161, not daily driven but definitely a road car. I am not sure what torque I am going to end up with but we are going for circa 1000hp at the flywheel. I was going to go for a Spec stage 3+ which is rated to 855lb/ft. I have a Spec stage 2+ at the moment with a Spec flywheel, so this is a fairly inexpensive option. But will it hold the power? Do I need to spend £2-3k on a clutch? Should I be looking at a multi disc clutch? Someone suggested an RPS triple carbon one to me. At over triple the price of the Spec clutch (with a deal) is this overkill or a necessity? If the Spec will not cut it, are there options in the middle, for £1-2k that are any good? If I change the clutch, can I keep my Spec flywheel? I don't want anything that makes the car unpleasant to drive, and nasty noises do my head in. The Spec is a little grabby but I have got used to it and its fine, as it doesn't make much noise. It took a few hundred miles before reverse was easily engaged, but now its fine. Any advice would be much appreciated. Karl Edited June 28, 2020 by bayside_supra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I use the RPS triple as well - can't fault it at all. It feels great for pottering around as well as holding up great when seeing abuse. Quite a graduated feel as well - not too on/off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks guys, I’m gonna see how the Spec stage 3+ feels. If I don’t like it I will probably bite the bullet and get the RPS, but the Spec is inexpensive enough to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
