Guy\'s been looking at clutches.. I am only planning to run up to around 450 bhp but gather I need an upgrade. I have seen you can pick up 6 puck clutches at a pretty good price. Will these be an absolute nightmare for driving around town? i.e. two on and off? what other options do I have for this sort of power/torque band?
Thank you
Lee
get an os gieken twin plate I know there expensive but with good reason
If you\'ve got the money then I can recommend the Exedy Hyper Carbon Dcore twin plate. Almost stock feel and not too noisy either.

hii jacked....
im also in need of a clutch, im running on single and unsure of what to go for but dont want to spend a fortune.
noisy clutches sound cool lol on and off wouldnt really bother me either.
I cannot afford an new OS giken.. if someone has a good secondhand one possibly!
Karl try looking on ebay USA if you don\'t mind an on off clutch! Ithere are plenty of 6 puck ones on there at a good prices. Depending on what power you want to run they also have some heavy duty single plates. If you end up getting a 6 puck let me know as I may have to go that route purely for cost!

try asking atomic rex they had some second hand clutches for sale dunno if there still available ???
Thanks Batman, I will drop them a line and see wha they say!
Lee
are the ones in the US any good though as ive heard a few bad stories of them being used and end up slipping.
ive just had a ACT 6 Puck fitted and is a bit off and on just getting use to it, alot different to the standard clutch. Also quite noisy, depends if u r willing to put up with it
I\'ve got the act 6 puck one in my road car and now just had one put in my track fd great clutch a little on/off but i easly became used to it.
running a carbon twin plate as its got the feel of a stock clutch but can take any amount of power you can chuck at it
We have some Exedy twin plates in stock at the moment.
im running a twin plate dry clutch at the moment, its a bit of hassle driving round town but youll get used to it, but off the line and drifting its quite good
chris and rob what kind of power are you running on your cars??
also how much did you pay for them??
atomic, how much are the exedy one\'s?? although i dont think i can stretch to afford an twin plate :(
well been looking at the act clutches on rx7store and there is so many different ones to choose from :confused: :confused:
I have a ACT 6 puck and it\'s holding perfectly fine all the way to 1.2 bar :D It\'s a bit on and off but you can still ride it if you need to
thats good enough for me dude, do you happen to know which one it is though??
where did you get it from??
I got mine from Whifbitz... As far as I know it\'s the ACT 6 Puck Unsprung clutch, not the Street/Strip one... like this one http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/zx3-hdr6.htm
thanks for that mate :Thumbs-up
no worries dude :)
I can get spec clutch\'s if any one wont one. The spec stage 3 plus feels like a factory clutch and can take over 450rwh.
Pm me if interested.
i also have the act 6 puk as well - good clutch!
Hi.. I was recommended the XTD 3 stage 6 puck sprung clutch by a dude in NZ who builds rotarys for street, drag and track use. he says he has used a few of them and they are a pretty good feel for a six puck and you cannot get another clutch close on price.. I have looked and they seem very reasonable! if they do what they say on the tin you are laughing. Think I might take a punt on one! Same about the current exchange rate though! Bring back 2USD:1GBP!!
here is the link:
Item number: 200266141394
Let me know what you reckon.
that looks good.
ive been looking at this one http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/zx3-xtr6.htm
i think i will be ordering one pretty soon.
OKay guy\'s I finally fitted my new clutch! See this link:

I used an XTD stage 3 clutch I as recommended by a rotary specialist in New Zealand. The clutch came from USA via ebay and was a bargain!

Best bit is I drove it out of the garage and it is very close to stock feel! okay a little bit heavier and slightly more bite but nothing like I expected!
I would definately recommend this to anyone looking for one, especially if it holds up a rated!
Lee
looks good, what kind of torque can it handle, i still havent got one sorted, have been talking with some one in auz that can offer a twin plate with pull to push kit for around £600 i think it was.
what was the final price you paid for it and did you get stung with tax\'s etc??
Hi There, I can\'t remember the torque rating off hand. there is a link to the ebay add in my other post about fitting rear oil seals. or just type XTD stage 3 rx7 in ebay worldwide.. I didn\'t get stung for tax fortunately this time! So depends on current exchange rate what is comes to.. But it was a bargain!!
cool, just had a look, i dont think i will risk it as i dont want to get it in and then start slipping after the run in miles.
cheers
karl
Blimey.. what power/torque you aiming for then??!
well im on a single turbo, not really sure on the power but i had 340rwhp unported at 0.8 bar
there is a company in leeds who make 6 puk clutches that will hold 500lb/ft of torque i got quoted a price of 385 for the complete kit
ive got the number somewhere but will have to dig out my old phone
that sounds very good, if you could get the number that would sweet.
what was the company called??
EDIT
was it cg motorsport was it?? just had a little google lol
