Just doing some research on what clutch I might need to get Ive been looking at the exedy range and reading the other posts I want a clutch that will handle 300kw and will be used for everyday driving and occasional drift or drag track days, I've come to a conclusion of two clutches the exedy sports organic clutch of exedy sports ceramic, it says the ceramic will take more but Ive read other people are wearing out the ceramic clutches very quickly with everyday driving what are your thoughts?

Honestly...........spend the extra $400 and get an exedy twin.

Mine hasnt missed a beat. And i KNOW that i don't have to treat it like glass, it loves the punishment.

If i went a single exedy, i would be counting down the days till it died :)

LoL then your getting ripped off.

I got mine fitted and supplied for 1650.

You get what you pay for, if u think a single clutch will cope with 300kw and the bashing it gets from that, without EVER failing (unless its a J/B) you will be sorely mistaken.

That does not include their single plate ''race only'' plates, but they wont sell one to you for a street car.

ORC twin plate, simple to drive, light pedal. Ours has lasted 5 seasons of abuse and still sedate enough to let mum drive to shops. They have a much nicer pedal take up than the exedy twins which are a bit harsh.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
