Whats it like using a paddle clutch? and where did you buy it from? I may look into getting one if i find my standard clutch doesn't agree with CG13 power lol

 

[mikebeal]

Panther paddle clutches
There on eBay buddy.
300 for the clutch with pressure plate.
There not for the faint hearted though as they are very snappy and judder like mad in traffic.

Cheers for that....I'll use my old standby - stixall.
You could glue the Queen Mary to the quayside with that stuff

How did you break the clutch?
What engine spec are you running?

[mikebeal]

Ga16 engine with pre face 1.0 Micra box (the low ratio one)
Not sure how tbh paddle clutches should be able to take the abuse.

The clutch is perfect when your beating it round the lanes though.

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

So it's a 160MM if you are using a preface 1L box?

Yes mate and takes the power from a ga16 primera engine perfectly

Paddle clutch plates aren't as plush as an organic plate but they're fine even in heavy traffic if treated correctly.

I find a lot of people spec them when they are unnecessary and there is a common myth that they are designed to take abuse. If driven like an organic clutch, cerametallic paddle clutches will fail very quickly and often prove to be a bad investment.

Well I tried and organic clutch and ripped the middle out of it so that why I went the paddle route.
If there not meant to take abuse why make them for sports/race cars?
I put it in the car because it needed it not as a statement.
I enjoy building the car but breaking it and fixing it is the bit that keeps me hooked.

 

[Low Rider]

I wasn't meaning to be critical

I have a 4-paddle in the turbo but only because of the required torque capacity I need. I'd have liked organic but that would require a twin-plate and a special flywheel to cater for the increased installation height.

Exactly the same reason for my install
Let's face it the cars are AWSOME and there just road legal go-karts!!'

Been autosolo'ing finished up 3rd overall and 3rd in class (experience, not capacity). Only beaten by an MX5 and a turbo'ed Golf GTi.

A different view from the day :-

Macy went from this

To this also gave her a good clean too

 

[Jordan27]

Wow I haven't logged on here for a while, might be due to the fact that the road Micra is no longer #1

Upgraded to a 1.8 Corolla T Sport after selling the Eunos, now the Micra is coming off the road too!

The road car was looking pretty good with the Watanabe/Black Racing wheels too (they're for sale )

But not to worry... The rally car is still going strong (stronger than it's ever gone) and has no intentions of going any time soon
