Another clutch discussion for 200rwkw

[bear2230]

Hi All,

So continuing this on from the garage thread. The white car has an Exedy heavy duty sports tuff and has started to slip after just a couple of months and less than 1000km's
I do drive it to and from work most days so needs to be street friendly.

So as far I have come up with these have 4 options.

(1) Nathans Tilton twin plate from the NA arc car. Might be a bit aggressive for street driving but not sure yet.

(2) Ive been emailing Adam from FRSport.com and he has called ACT and chatted with them for a bit about my car and what where looking for and they clutch kit that they recommended was the following: http://www.advancedclutch.com/zm2-xtss $560.00 US delivered so about $750.00 AUD.

(3) Doug from NPC is recommending a Custom Clutch with extra heavy duty cushion button clutch kit for $753.50 + $40.00 freight.

(4) OS Giken I'm also unsure of. The TS2A is nearly $1900.00 for a street dríven the noise and engagement issues that would drive me nuts.
The GTS1CD 'soft' clutch I'm having trouble finding comments on it and its still $1600.00.

Leaning very much towards NPC and the moment but nothing is set in stone yet. I'm in no super rush as can still just turn it down a little and will fine for a while and not interested in anything from Flyin Miata.

Would like to hear from anyone who would like to chime in.

Thank you.
Richard.

My NA8 currently has ~210rwkw, and have had the Exedy Sports Tuff - Heavy Duty Cushioned Button kit running in it for over 18 months (about 6 months with the current power, ~175rwkw previously) and has held up quiet well.
dríven to work every day (only ~25km each way), and does about 10 hillclimb events, 1-2 supersprint events each year.
It has been a daily clutch, although it does engage quiet quickly, but you can still take off reasonably softly.
One bad thing is if you ride the clutch at a certain point, it will shutter, but that may be due to bad flywheel machining.
Cant remember the exact cost, but it was around the $650-700 mark, for pressure plate, clutch plate, and throwout bearing.

I've got the Goodwin happy meal combo and works fine on my car (163-176rwkW). I understand that is the same as the Xtreme clutch kit that Mania sells.

He will sort you out with exactly what you need at a good price.

Don't have his number handy, but Google is your friend.
