Anyone got a RPS Carbon-Carbon Twin Disc Clutch?

I need to get a new clutch asap to send to the engine builder to balance with my new engine.

What are they like?

I had one in my silver supra mate was just like driving stock, snached a bit at first but after it was run in it was lovely, rattled like the rest though

Thanks mate, good to hear its nice and light, i might have to put up with the rattle now, i dont think my single plate will hold my new engine turbo setup.

Prefer the Carbonetic myself, similar sort of price.

How much is the carbonetic Paul (rps cc is £1680) and is it light as stock?

Just looked on your site Paul and they are the same price, can they be rebuilt should it need it? any idea on the price of the rebuild kit? and what sort of time would i be looking at for delivery?

Ta:)

Retail at £1681 inc VAT, I can do 10% off for you.

If I recall correctly, both the RPS and Carbonetic twin plate carbon clutches can be rebuilt.

Dunno if you've searched the US forums, but here is one thread on clutch selection:

Cheers mate, 31 pages:faint:

Seems the rps cc like to explode:D anyone got a link to this tilton clutch, sound interesting.... EDIT... forget the tilton, im not paying $6000 for a clutch.

Mine is an Exedy triple carbon, to throw another brand into the mix for you

I remember topic about cc rps one where guys was saying they fall to pieces from time to time from unknown reason.

Wasnt the failures on the RPS CC's down to the crappy strap/strapless design?

Yeah been reading that, just talking to Dusty now about clutchs via pm, he has asked what i use the car for so lets see his reply.

Speaking to Dusty and this problem was sorted, ive gone with the RPS CC.

From what ive read the carbonetic is very expensive to rebuild, almost the cost of a new clutch.

Ok, well for that budget you can get the best.

 

I wish we could talk, its quicker to explain. I'll summarize as best I can:

The old version of the RPS used an OEM pressure plate, highly modified of course. MOST clutches still use this to this day. RPS is one of very few to solve this.

This old version (i.e. OEM pressure plate) used heat-tread OEM straps on the pressure plate to hold more torque. These straps, under rare/extreme conditions (I can explain further if you like) would snap, breaking the clutch and sometimes the transmission.

 

RPS 2 years ago recognized this as a problem and did what no other clutch company has done - they re engineered their pressure plate from the ground up.

 

Result: Non-OEM 100% new 100% billet strapless pressure plate.

 

Bottom line: No more horror stories, no more failures

 

I personally use the RPS in both my Supras (twin in one, triple in my other) and my girlfriend even uses a twin, that's how easy they are to drive.

 

I give RPS (the company) my strongest recommendation as they innovate instead of ignore.

I give this clutch my highest recommendation for ease-of-driving, longevity, and ability to rebuild to 100% new should that day ever come.

 

If you want another brand, no problem. But I wanted to make sure you knew RPS solved that big failure. A lot of people still are not aware of this 2 years later (marketing failure by RPS I think...too busy making new parts haha!).

 

Thanks,

 

Dusty

I had a twin plate one of these in my Single, was as light as a stock one.

My RPS CC literally fell apart, never had any problems with using Carbonetic on all our track cars for the last 3 years.

I have the RPS CC and have had no problems at all. My HKS GD Max that i had before had to be rebuilt every 4thousand miles. After the 3rd time i'd had enough and went RPS. Best thing i did mate.

Thats a Carbonetic.

I ordered the rps last night, Paul if you was running one 3 years ago that would have been the old type one Dusty mentions, no reported failures since the upgrade.

Yep, mine was about 7 years old, hopefully they've sorted the problems out now. I just know the Carbonetic's work and they are a quality product, not trying to sell you it, just my experience with them.

welldone Jamie, just the answer i was looking for, was digging old threads about cluth and found this.

Im getting one for sure, did MVP supply yours mate? or you got it from a UK supplier?

Not sure if you have seen it, but here you go Jamie: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=527970

Yeah i see that before i bought it, done about 3000miles on mine now and its been superb to date.

I have an HKS triple, surprisingly good but prob will change that to a Tilton.
