Banbury Glanza Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 What bhp will the be able to handle ?

Jhandy Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Why would they be so cheap, what materials are they gonna be made of

Dan507 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 why would you pay over 300 quid for a clutch? hype? brand? car parts on general do not cost alot to manufacture add a brand name to a part to ads the ££££ on Companys like ACT, Execy, OS giken ORC ect. have there stuff made in house and have been perfected though trial and error. where as you are getting them from a supplier somewhere in china which has been put together in a sweat shop. My ACT 6 puck clutch, release bearing and alignment tools was $410 plus shipping and Import tax which is a bargain. (RX8)I bought it because it's a trusted and well known brand which loads of people can recommend. I personally wouldn't trust this in my car.

Is to test

I personally wouldn't trust this in my car.so your telling me that they make each and every part that is put in to a clutch kit in house? thats a lot of different machines and processes even down to springs and rivets having seen a fair few uprated clutches i can say that ive a good guess were most of the components are manufactured and it certainly isnt in house. its all in the testing both on and off the vehicle
Dan507 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Ok i know that's some of the stuff is brought in though different suppliers. but you know what i mean. Take a look at this. />http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_articles/id/1705/industry-insider-a-look-inside-act-clutches.aspxthis will be the same for all other major clutch company's.
pick1 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 The only real way to find out is through a good trial on a couple of motors for all we knowThey could be shit hot and work bang on and noOne would moan about the money savingTo be had all products started at the bottomOf the barrel from baileys , rota , tial etc nothing is automatically put at the top of a list it's through trial and error and reviews of customers that's brings a companies product / reputation up everything is worth a try
james@cjperformance Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Ill test it out for you ! Forged 4e on vf30 on emb and im a regular drag racer !will it be finished in January ? also you going to be using standard fly? fire me a pm
