With a 100 Bhp at the wheels go for APracing Rally Plate and Orange Dia.

More than 100Bhp and you going to need a grey Dia.

IMO.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Agree with above, only comment I would add is that I would NOT use a grey diaphram on an old/unknown engine, as it would most likely very quickly finish off the thrust washers.

I'm using a double grey with a padle clutch, it's not much fun on the road, but it doesn't slip! Will be doing combe twice this month, and a rolling road (which I always get slip at) I'll let you know how I get on.


PS me engine also likes to eat crankshaft thursts!

i wonder how dave is going on with configuring the clutch which would be easy on the foot & kind on the thrust washers

that would make him a few qid if he patent it to minispares, iam sure!*wink*

sadly this has been lacking in a high power A series engine.

as massive power outputs with turbos is now challanging the old
N/A competition clutches.

lanxter, it's not that bad at all really, but to be honest my car is not really ever used as a road car
