Grazer Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Originally posted by Paul Whiffin There is no need for a paddle plate, RPS max street uses a std Toyota disc, this is all you need....trust me! Arse I had to make the decision yesterday as I need the car back ASAP, so I went for the Helix paddle. Oh well! I've told them not to attempt to lighten the flywheel and they're going to fit my Nur Spec and new brake pads while it's in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk_supra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If you still have time, go to the dealer and get a stock disc. The helix will eat the guts out of the flywheel and the pressure plate in about 6-10,000 miles. And whoever says no way, call anywhere and ask for a warranty on the affected parts. Only the stock disc becomes consumable the others are scrape the surfaces of each side, not good. I have tried Puk designs with 4 puks, 6 puks Carbon (destroyed the flywheel and the plate in 2,000miles) Ceramic (Lasted for 7,000miles, then everything was junk) Half and half material (by some company in the states, it's a POS) Organic material like stock (It just slips, POS also) If you can still avoid it, there is time. Plus it jiggles the car too much. Dimitri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 see the http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com clutch section. It covers most stock based packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk_supra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Terry, when I first played with clutches, I was talking with Chris from HPFR, and he send me couple of solutions to try and see. I'm picky I know, but my customers in Detroit were Doctors, Lawyers, people that give you a blank check to fix the car and if you f@ck them up then there is always the river in Detroit. So after trying Chris discs I was not so impressed (very tiring to drive, and very for low mileage for the street) and I said stock disc and plate or the big mama's clutches for high performance. Chris had back in the days the carbon material on the MKIV clutches but now he took it out, after I tested it and I told what was the damage created. Cheers, Dimitri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Originally posted by Terry S The TRD Twin is a great clutch but noisey. IMHO, and I have been through too many clutches, The RPS Carbon/Carbon is the best set up for big power/drivability/low noise. My Purple car had the first carbon/carbon in the UK, and that clutch was a revelation. Anyone wanting RPS clutches cheaply, e-mail me. I agree with this Terrence, just fitted one to my car and it is amazing, driveable, light and will handle whatever you can throw it. Perfect.

Perfect. Paul it is a great set up eh! Raise the idle to 1200 rpm and there is no rattle either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I've got mine set at a 1000rpm and no rattle whatsoever, couldn't believe it when I first used it, a little bit different to my old RPS Max 6 puck jobbie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk_supra Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 HKS Triple 850rpm set on the AEM at 13.5:1 A/F ratio and no rattle, only rattles when I engage the A/C at 850. If I go at 900rpm with or without, no rattle as well. Always happy, but if I set it at 650rpm , it sounds like a diesel taxi. Dimitri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
