Gamer Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just curious but what would be the most cost effective option as far as clutches go if I was to go manual ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 For the power you have cant beat a RPS cc for £1440. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=91003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 *Could* anything cheaper hold the power ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Isn't there an HKS for about £600 odd or did i make that up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I've gone for an Exedy Twin Carbon, more reliable than the RPS CC apparently. Might be a tad more expensive though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have a Exedy twin plate... seems fine so far and is nice to drive with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Would it be silly to think I could get something suitable for under 1k ? What about used ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You should be able to get a used onee for less than £1K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Is the triple plate any noisier then the twin plate ? Harder to use ? Sorry for the noob questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 South Bend DXD Kevlar/metalic 6 puck clutch.... Tried, tested, abused "The DXD SS Puck kit contains a extreme clamp load pressure plate, and a 6 button, true dual friction clutch disc. By using ceramic buttons on the flywheel side of the disc and 100% Kevlar® buttons on the pressure plate, this disc will provide all the holding power required by today's serious racers. " http://www.dxdracingclutches.com/home.html IIRC it was about £550 from Horsepower Freaks. But the exchange rate is much better now!

Lucifer Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have a virtually new Exedy Triple for sale at £950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'd go for the Southbend DXD-F or -SS too...easy to drive and able to handle the torque. Great price easily sub 1k inc fitting. Exedy Twins and Triples don't have a great rep, maybe they've got better I don't know, but I've never heard anyone say they are as drivable (ie slippable) as stock.

Gamer Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have spoken to the seller on the phone, it is still boxed and brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Bargain... HKS clutches are like light switches though, on or off. Personally don't like them at all but you might be OK with it Joe. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
