mazdaspeed twin plate clutch (pic)

Hi,

Looking into clutch setups and it seems that the twin plate clutches come with a flywheel already on them? is this true? Just that the clutches have a ring gear around them, or is that something else? see pic below.

I guess I have another question with this. Is this overkill? I'm only looking to run a 12.5 with around 190Kw at the wheels. It does need to be streetable.

anyone know what a new clutch is worth for a twin plate?

Because of the twin plates, those types require a special flywheel... that's why you see it in the pic I think.

For a 12.5, you definitely do not need a twin plate setup. Just go with a single heavy duty disk with an upgraded pressure plate and you will be fine I'm sure.

ACT S/S is all you need for 12.5's.
