Who here is running a Twin Plate clutch? Do you drive it on the street? ANd how bad is it?

 

they feel like stock

 

mine feels harder to engage than stock. and everyone who has driven it has either bogged or stalled in it.

 

What kind of clutch do you have?

 

I hear they wear quickly, is this true?

 

Same here.

I have a MazdaSpeed. It definitely is harder to engage than a stock clutch. Seems to require more precision. Studders the car like crazy if you don't engage right.

 

The right setup with a multi plate clutch should last longer.

 

I have BLITZ twin plate(made by ORC). Take some time to use to, but it can be drive on traffic.

I had drive 3 different of twin plate clutch.NISMO,OS GIGEN, ORC.

The easies to drive is NISmo and OS. then ORC.

 

I'm putting 315 to the wheels while being sequential. I'm looking for a streetable clutch that can handle a future single setup putting down maybe 400-450

needs to handle drag launches also. i was looking at the spec clutches at RX7store, but how streetable are puck clutches? i was thinkign fo the solid Kevlar disc (stage 2 I believe), says it's good for around 450ft/lbs or soemthign aroudn there. I'd like to stay away from $1000 clutches, even if it makes driving on the street a little more taxing.

 

Yeah thats another quextion I would like to know, what do you mean by the right setup?

 

PM these two people and they should be able to tell you.

Twin plates-----all depends on what one you have weither or not its hard to push it or not. Mine feels only a tiny bit heavier then stock (OS) but grips like none other. Exedy is a pretty bunk clutch, well at least their older style Mazdaspeed one I had, that was garbage. Basically a stock clutch with 2 plates haha.

To really get your bang I think changing the mechanism from push to pull (or vise versa, always get the backwards) is the best deal. This makes it adjustable to your foot so if you like it push the pedal all the way down to the floor to engage or you like it to engage 2 inches of the pedal in, you can do it, personally I like it half way. This can be a major difference in how long your clutch will last since, you can make it fit your needs, not you fit its needs.

I have more info, but I have to run...

 

I like the feel of the Exedy twin plate

 

I have a twin plate clutch and took me ages to get used to it!!! would stall the car all the time geared for 800hp!!!!

Now though feel very comfortable with it, once you get used to it you wont notice its there.

 

If it uses the original mech, it probably feels almost exactly the same. Its pretty weak though, grip and life wise...

 

JT, so if I gather what you are saying is that, you need/want to change the FD pull type to push (like the FC), right? Which allows you to adjust the pedal freeplay travel? I assume you can just use the FC parts? Which this makes it more streetable? And I guess you would use an FC clutch set then, right?

Does the OS and ORC come with the upraded linkage (still using the stock push type) or is it extra? And what makes using the stock type worse?

Sorry for all the questions.

 

I have the HKS GD Clutch Max, and it sucks to drive on the street. It either grabs or none, you can forget about driving through traffic in hot weather. Not sure if the clutch hydaulic line needs bleeding, it behaves better when it's cold and first started in the morning. any one has experience in that??

 

Can anyone else provide any info?

 

eyecandy---The mechanism is provided with OS and ORC clutches. I do get busy sometimes...hehe

 

Thats alright, did you get my PM?
