Title: Chuck a Clutch!
Post by: Nath V on August 04, 2003, 03:03:28 PM
Looks like the Standard ones decided to move on to a better place.

Whats the best one to go for now?

Apart from an Apexi Induction kit, 5 Zigen Zorst with no cat, Power FC, uprated fuel pump and injectors (last 2 not on car till next week) its pretty much standard.

I will more than likely be putting a front mounted cooler on her in the next few months though.

I do drive quite hard, and have the odd fast launch off the lights. (Normally to upset a Subaru Driver.)

Clutch\'s I have been recomended are:

Exedy Hyper Single
Exedy Thick Ceramatalic Racing Clutch
Centreforce something or other..

Is the Hyper Single worth the extra £300 from the other 2?? Or is there are better one out there... somewhere!

I have a 95 Type RB

Any help or advice appreciated

Thanks

Nath

What prices have you been quoted for them Matt?

PhilG is running an Exedy twin plate that feels quite nice and puts up with a lot of abuse...

I have a Cusco twin plate and having used a twin would not go back to a single plate. Very mod-dependant though. On a stock ish car like yours an Exedy single would probably be a good choice.

Ive been quoted £790 for the Hyper, About $600 for the Exedy Thick Cerametailc Racing Clutch and have a mate in USA who can post as a gift and £480 for the Centreforce Dual Friction Semi Ceramic?

Been told that the Centreforce is a good one? Is that true?

Dunno about the Centreforce - dont personally know any one using one.

Re. \'send as a gift\' - dont matter whether its a gift or not. Its value - over about £36 u pay duty whether its a gift or whatever.
