That's not likely to happen, but there is much testing to be done and much abuse to be applied. I will drag again this week but with sticky 255-width RT-615s instead of my Blizzaks. Then, on May 5th, I will romp on it at the local road course to see how it holds up.

I will, however, ask them for cost and availibility details today.

Cool. I'm most interested in it as I'd like to upgrade my clutch soon. If you could, let me when you find out. Thanks!

I have pricing and availability now. Exedy has them in stock as of today, and they will be available for shipment as early as Friday.

PM me if anyone has any questions, and I can point you in the right direction. Remember, this is not a smooth, stock-like clutch. It is a sprung 4-puck that is a little harsh when starting in 1st gear, but after that it shifts like butter. So far, for racing, it is incredible, but I will doing more and more testing as time goes on.

never let me read stuff like this again. if your not using the clutch to shift you dont deserve to drive.

i wouldnt advise for everyone to no-lift to shift, espically on the stock clutch. as warr said it was harder on the stocker, i am able to get away with it cause my miles are low and my clutch is still strong. just realise if you do this your bound to wear things out fast. keep it to the track!

Damian, there was a little wheelhop at the beginning, which is NOT good. Try to avoid it at all costs. I'm pretty sure you can no-lift all the way down the track on a carbon-carbon, but this is with a single disk cerametallic Exedy 4-puck, which is less than $1000.

No, with this clutch I haven't missed yet and hit the rev limiter. It's effortless to shift. I've never had a car or clutch where I could shift this fast without any fear of missing the shift.

Ah is this the one your testing for them? If so I may put my twin up for sale and hold out for that.

Yes, it's the one I'm testing currently. The Twin is still better, so I'd use it if you have it.

yeah but if you can pull that stuff of with a cheaper clutch my goal is to hit an 11 then it goes into just a cruzer car. **** i could sell the carbon twin and get the single. Anyone looking for a exedy twin carbon, LOL.
