An actual post about modding.

OK, spill, Exidy, OZ-Giken, or HKS? I think they are the ones who use the purple covers.

Yewp, Organic will be like an uprated normal clutch rather than a nice paddle stall monster.

a post about an actual mod being done! get out of here with such filth! :)

Once you drive the organic clutch will be OK.

Getting (smoothly) away from standstill will need some skill and exercice, because the clutch will bite quite fast and because of the low inertia of the flywheel.

As to the faggy color: never understood a thing about the under bonnet esthaetics anyway :)

It cracked me up. It's not like you can see it through the bellhousing. I figure the new clutch can't be worse than the brass button lightened flywheel combo I had in the Rx-7.

Sorry. *hangs head in shame*

It's an Extreme one. I think made by Exidy. Aus $1230 for the kit.

my second Integrale had a paddle clutch in. Made it virtually impossible to drive, went through a few driveshafts / cv joints with that bloody thing.

Really only good in racecars.

Fraser

Exidy is good kit, in ther UK their headoffices are just down the road from me.

One of these?

That looks like the one.

Purple anodized clutch cover?!!? What is this, early 1990s mountainbiking?

Nope, they all do it.

My 928-racer got it too.

I went for the trick too: we anodise small parts such as doorknops etc. You do that without colour, the customer doesn't look twice. But do it in brass, chrome or gold and the customer doesn't even question the extra price he is charged. And the best thing comes last: inevitabely by use the anodising gets damaged (rings , keys, etc). Then they order a new doorhandle but off course in that special colour. :-)

Leads to my conclusion: neat paintjobs, special colors (wether it be by paint or other means) covers up all mistakes and makes an ugly piece look state-of- the-art. Goes for everything on the exception of Volkswagen: they've got paintjobs (factory done) which halves the value of the car from the first meter driven.

Lol reminds me of my RS Turbo owning days had a 4 paddle clutch in that and it were brilliant. although it did tend to put a lot of wear and tear into other components. great for those off the lights 0-60 launches impossible in traffic for more than 10 minutes without changing your leg :)

When all the green lentil eating sandle wearers complain about your car, at least you can turn around and say "but it's got an organic clutch"

Right, that's it. I'm off to town, I could do with an "Organic clutch" meself....

ROFL!

Thats the other reason I didn't go for the brass button. It's cheaper replacing clutches than rebuilding gearboxes.
