That picture is way to small. Its hard to make anything out LOL.

 

Well, I asked Richard about the Ralliart and what he found out. He had a customer who ordered the wrong part (bought an EVO clutch) tell him that the pressure plate could not be removed which is what is typical of a modular clutch. We also found out that the flywheel bolts together from the back, which also lead him to believe that the setup is modular. I contacted Mike at Road Race Engineering and he was very helpful as usual (yes I am plugging his business). It turns out that the flywheel is bolted from the back, not because it is modular but basically because it is a two piece flywheel. It's not modular though because the pressure plate bolts up conventionally. Sorry for the confusion. Richard was misled. Although it is definitely a different clutch from the earlier Lancer and from other clutches we currently make. I will continue to look into it to see if we can come up with something.

If you think it's a conspiracy, you are right. We are conspiring to sell you a product that will suit your needs. Oh the shame of it all.

 

Thanks Dirk for the update. I'm glad we are all on the same page now. We all look forward to seeing an ACT clutch for our cars. By the way, were you at the ACT booth at NOPI nationals in Dallas, TX a while back? If not, I just want to say that those guys were so helpful and eager to help with all the questions I had for them. I was inquiring about a different car at the time. I learned a lot in the few minutes I talked with them. Good people.

 

No, I didn't make it to Nopi. We had David from Customer Sevice meet up with a distributor (Nippon Power) to run the booth at Nopi this year. Thanks for the positive feedback. I will pass on the good word to Dave.

 

Please look into getting a clutch out soon.. i think i need a new one =)

sillypuddy, did you burn up you clutch or somthing? Why would you need a new one already? And don't you have RRM clutch line. I thought that would help you to not burn it up.

 

If you guys make a full race clutch for the ralliart count me in as well, whats turbotech P.R using?

Thanks, And the pressure plate bolts on the normal way BTW

i had put in the line after a few months of driving.. it helped a lot but i think there is one spot that was burnt out.. so i figure when i bring back the lighten flywheel i will just swap out the whole setup

well i need a new clutch soon....ever since my mom took my car out its never been the same and i need one soon

 

did you mom take it to the track and did one wheel burn outs?

-joe

 

possibly.... i just asked her not to long ago what she did and she told me that my car didnt catch gear.....but w/e she is buying me the new clutch anyways just i need it sometime soon in the next 2-3 months dunno if this one will be ready by then

 

sorry. said soem things I shouldn't have.

 

I just got off the phone with one of my friends at daiken. He has called around and e-mailed a few people on clutchs for the ralliart. He supposed to call me on the next few days about possible production on one. Daiken however should have in released well before ACT does.

 

You are correct... you don't understand. I don't want to polute the thread to explain it to you here, but I would love the opportunity to talk to you personally. I have seen others go on here tooting their own horn and it's just not cool so I try to avoid it. If you want to email me, or possibly call me I will give you the heads up on what we do. I don't usually take calls but I do return them faithfully (except the nuisance soliciting, etc of course).

Don't take offense, but to say you are not trying to talk **** or bash anyone and then tell people that ACT is "piles of crap" is a contradiction, don't you think? Don't worry, It doesn't upset me off or anything. It just discouraging. All I ask is that you don't pass judgment on something you don't know about. I wish I could give you a tour of our shop or something. I think you wouldfind our operation is pretty cool.

 

so
act = pile of crap
act = daiken

therefor, u must be saying

daiken = pile of crap

=) i dont get it. 2 parts in getting a product: prototyping and production. maybe daiken does some production and act does their prototyping? not sure, but no need to be so harsh. if both products come out, great. if neither do, so be it. let the market do its thing.

as i said before, their are not many high-power ralliarts so there isnt a big need for upgraded clutches. dont expect the market to be filled with them without a good demand. yes, some people need replacemetns and RRM and Works both offer them. some additional faces in the competition market would be nice, but no need to start a blind flame war over
