if you did get one dont buy it from the place ive linked it as they are not very reliable

[John RX7]

not reliable on service or the item itself?

[cyman]

the store isnt reliable, del times can be v v long and they can be difficult to contact

I bought an ACT clutch from RX Store a couple of months ago and it arrived in about two weeks. The guy there (Jason) does seem to be overworked, but I must say I had no problems contacting him by phone or email. I would definitely use them again.

nice to hear a positive review for them for once. i had loads of problems myself and later discovered that many people on have had issues aswell. maybe things have improved now.  :chat

I have a refurbished Exedy Twin Plate coming up for sale next week.

Flywheel is in excellent condition, we have skimmed the centre plate slightly, and it has brand new discs.  Looking for £600 for this.

Why dont you get a clutch from Pettit racing? Dont they have a uk branch over here now.

Get an ACT HD Clutch Sprung Street Disc.  Thats be more than fine for that HP.

I think it\'s fine the EXEDY Stage 1 very good for torque and power increase that will be required and what is important to have a long life.
i have the exedy stock stage to 320HP

I\'m going single as my engine blew and it\'s all going in in the next few weeks an organic  single plate clutch will hold it alright and there only like 400 quid new.

if you ar after 400-450bhp a basic exedy stage 1 single plate ortganic clutch will not last long. my car was 400bhp running one of thos and chewed the clutch plate up in less than 10k miles.
 
for 400-450 you either need to go for something similar to the one i linked or you need to go for a multiplate setup like atomicrex is selling

Can\'t say I\'m a big fan of single plate paddle style clutches. They\'re horrid to drive. OS giken twin plate or exedy carbon twin plate all the way! Had an ACT on my panspeed fd and it was just grim all round and even after a couple of months it was tricky to pull away cleanly.

ORC 709 twin plate FTW for me
