Holy crap! Just got my car back fromt he mechanic and I have to say this new single plate is the best decision I've made for this car in a LONG while.

Drives like a stocker with only slightly heavier pedal feel, almost 3400lb clamp and a carbonite clutch plate surface that seems to work great.

It wasn't insanely expensive either.

I'm also now totally sold on Redline Lightweight.

All in all, a very happy day. Roll on the 30th!!!

Awsome clutch's, Had a 3800pound one made for the drag Silvia, felt so much like a stock one, I could still drive through Brisbane city. Also had a little 2200pound one put into my stocko Silvia.

Adrian, can I ask how much you pay'd for the 3400lb clutch?

Yes you are a cheesy poof! :)

You told me the clutches were the shit but I was convinced I should get one from a lot of advice and experience that Paul and Stace have had with theirs.

Oh..... SO NUURRRR!!!!!

As for how much I paid for it - including the Smurf Blood and fitting, it was just under $1400.00

  • 5 weeks later...

About $1000 exchange including shipping and machining my old flywheel.

Still getting used to it but the car is running slightly quicker mph (approx 2mph) for some reason. Probably cos the tyres have worn down lots :) :) :)

I know that when you look at a clutch you shouldn't make judgements on how it should perform but I'm telling you it 'looks' impressive.

Only one way to find out mate :)

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
