Are they like every other single plate, though, if you get it hot once it ****ed. Common thing with the 9 sec rotaries with supra/series 5 boxes aswell, problem is using a twin plate always blows the boxes! Corran ****ed a Jim berry clutch in his street car with 380rwkw cheers darren

Australian Clutch Services can make a clutch to suit. Tripple carbon if you so desire. Also go by the name of extreme. I think 1400hp is what the carbon clutch is rated at.

I have a good condiction MX7 gearbox with a Excedy twinplate for sale that is easy holding 5oohp at the wheels. clutch is 3 months old and retails for $2500ish and box comes with everythink need to do a manual conversion after $2500 for the lot. both still in car and can be driven to test.

i have looked at a triple plate and quad plate and i may as well sell my kidney to pay for one..... i talked to jim and he was saying whonxt was running a single plate when he was doing the 9.7's..... and cost half as much as the triple plate.....
