Phil,

I think the 6 puck Sport may be a little too grabby for your liking mate.

What sort of torque is your motor producing? That one is rated to 399 ft/lbs.

Tim has an RPS Sport in a single disk thats rated to a little less (324 ft/lbs), but it'll probably be a lot less heavy, and much less grabby mate.

That said, if you don't mind a more on and off type clutch, the 6 puck is the way to go.

Take it easy buddy,

just found out mine is the 6 puk and to be honest it aint too bad at all, it does bite but it aint too on/off

[MRV6]

Thanks for the info guys. I should be looking @ 350-400 ft/lbs of torque. Any thoughts on this one?

i do belive tim from TB advises the 450lbft clutch over the 399lbft one, i think its because its more 'friendly' to use.. not sure why as they are the same make, but i take his word for it!

Naffin' 'ell Phil!!! That's awesome mate.

Mines the 6 puck 399lb one. It's very on off but you get used to it.

Hi mate, v6 engines are still in their infancy but there are a few tuning parts coming through from the states so I'm just doing abit groundwork. But yes I'm hoping for 350+ ft/lbs of torque.

I might have a chance of driving a deuce with a 6 puk in her.

400 ft/lbs eh.

he he he .

thanks for recommendations earl

yes i usually recommend the RPS MAX clutch over the 6 puk mainly because its less grabby.

Its a little heavier on the pedal but its easier to live with as being a disk it has less of an on/off action and a bonus is it will also has a higher torque capacity due to its increased clamping force.

For an everday car the RPS max Disk(450ft/lbs)

for a harder live like drag applications/weekend warriors
the RPS Street Puk (399ft/lbs) or RPS MAX Puk (525ft/lbs)

All clutches are instock if needed.

Hope that helps.

I've got the 450lbs one supplied by Tim. Absolutely GREAT clutch. Very easy to live with as long as u aint in a traffic jam lol.

Only thing is if you keep it on the biting point for a few seconds the thing reeks lol. Only time i notice it is when i park it in my garage. Not once has it slipped though.

Great piece of kit. PITA to fit though hehe

I'm gonna need a replacement clutch soon, just wound the old CT26 + supporting mods to 15psi and it's starting the dreaded slippage

Anyone know why Fensport clutches are so expensive compared with, say, the ones listed above?

I can't work it out. Are the fensport ones special? Even with the IMOC Member discount it's still really REALLY expensive?

[TBDevelopments]

nothing special just fensport makes more money than i do.

Look at there demo cars compaired to my faided red gen 3

Tim, what's the labour charge for fitment? Do you spanner as well as sell?
I mean what's the drive-in-drive cost?

[TBDevelopments]

i will be shortly. looking at a few months to get myself vat regestered and the unit all up and running.

Not sure on the price but i'll be competative with everyone else without under cutting them.

I think the going rate is around £120 for drive in drive out labour on fitting a clutch.

LMFAO thats worth the drive to the bottom of england for me then. It cost me £300 labour not including VAT.

Clutch replacement was an 8 hour job. I know some people can do it quicker but £120 and being worth while for you?
