JamieP Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Ive ordered the rest of my kit and the clutch is the last thing to sort now, (oh and getting a car:d) Will be for a 550/600 bhp street car? Ryan recommended the southbend that homer had, anyone else running that clutch? Also the RPS street max seems ok, all be it a little heavy some say? I want something thats easy to use, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've got the RPS and I love it. It's stood up to everything I've chucked at it so far (including a bit of drifting with R888s ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Mine (Ryan's old car) has a Southbend clutch in it, and coming from a MR2 Turbo which had the standard clutch, I can't notice much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I have an RPS street max clutch and RPS lightened flywheel. Pedal pressure is harder than stock ... but very nice and drivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I wouldnt mind trying the feel of your clutch Si; it sounds like the way to go for me when we're back from the 'Ring. I'll keep babying the current one till then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well I guess you already know my recommendation IME, the RPS street max was too heavy, but seemed to do the job. The southbend was ideal, only 20% heavier pressure than stock, but drove like stock, very, very managable and lovely in traffic. The car always sufferered from a low bite point though, which was never resolved. CW said it might have something to do with the reground pressure plates SB use.

bolarbag Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 RPS Street with 6 puk, the pedal feel is very similar to stock, but due to puk clutch plate it is on off, I would say for a daily driver the RPS street with organic clutch plate would be good for about 550hp, anything more and you would have to go the RPS Max plate and above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
