I can supply RPS clutches from the USA which is apparently the exact same clutch as TRD sells and wacks a big price tag on. Price for the stage 2 clutch is £411 + UK delivery and VAT and takes about a week to get roughly. This uses a std clutch disc and uprated pressure plate. I use this in my modded Supra and it works a treat, I've sold quite a few recently and all are happy with them, they drive like a standard clutch as well apart from a slight increase in pedal weight.

Give us a shout if you need one or need anymore info

Cheers

If you need one supplying and fitting I can easily sort that out. Stock ones are great if you haven't any wild mods.

I can turn it round within the day.

Is it a smooth power transition or is it a bit snappier than stock? I've heard the HKS ones are a bit brutal...which is somthing I'm not looking for.

Michael,

I had one fitted last year,toyota OE + new spigot bearing all in £463 and it was back same day.

Sound job and took care of my car too!(a big consideration IMHO)

I take it that you didnt need to replace the flywheel then ?

I heard that this "has" to be done as well but wasnt convinced....

Arent there any import places in the UK that can supply at a decent price ?

It is definitely NOT essential to replace the flywheel. It will only need attention / renewal if the clutch has badly scored it due to not being changed before the rivets mark the flywheels friction surface.

[Paul Whiffin]

RPS, Centreforce, etc recommend that the flywheel is faced off when the clutch is being changed.
The RPS clutch is not grabby at all, it uses a std plate so it drives like a std clutch, just a bit heavier. They also do a carbon 6 puck plate for the big power Supra's. Stage 2 clutch is more than up to the job of BPU++.

[SupraTT]

Does anyone know if the supra has a self adjusting clutch cable or is it adjusted like any other ?

Stupid question probably ???
