Three calls into Evo and Mike still has not returned my call (First call at 9:00am). They must be too busy!

 

Mike's always the first port of call so he really is non-stop on the phone but you can always ask for Nate as well

 

Do you have one in stock that I can purchase from you?

 

Hi Robert, I'm afraid I do not have one in stock.

 

120 miles and mine is starting to become tolerable.

 

Hmmmm
I do not have any issues with mine...1,056 miles.

 

C'mon Rob, that's not fair. Your mechanic would not let anyone drive the car until he broke it in first! Akram is a truly obsessive one...I understand that he wouldn't drive it without a passenger observing the data on the PST2 for at least 500 miles after the engine build. I can't wait to see the car run. Talk about fruits of labor.

 

Yes
That is why I am so happy! Did you check out the articleabout the build in Modified Magazine? If you want to see it run, I have a raced planned for this weekend if the weather is nice. I am trying to get it ready for Tx2K. Now, the question is, are you doing the build next?
Robert

 

Didn't know, is it the current issue? Very cool. I would love to simply throw rods in it, but can't right now. My car won't be ready for TX2K8 or the mile unless the new clutch arrives by Thursday and if I do it myself this weekend.

 

Which clutch?

 

Sleep better at night!
Does the pedal engagement point change (not at the top of the pedal travel)?

 

Great to hear. Mine is also getting better, but my only grip is the pedal height!

 

This clutch kicks butt. With only 250 miles on the break-in I took it out and hit it hard from 60 to 130MPH and logged a 9.3 second run on pump gas (I do not have MS 109 during the breakin) See Run 007.

Now at 320 miles and the clutch is a lot better. I can't wait until I get to 800 miles and then alter the pedal feel.

 

450 miles on her and WOW, what a clutch!!!!

I was talking to some friends of mine who race in the World Speed Challenge (with triple disk Sachs RSR clutches) and they say that the Carbonetic clutch is superior in design to Tilton and Sachs RSR triple disk clutch. The Carbonetics clutch is made of C/CMC (Carbon/Carbon Metal Composite). By placing metals such as silicon, aluminum, bronze and titanium you get a better wear factor than the other triple disch clutches. Also, my Carbonetic triple disck clutch is a "push" design instead of a "pull" design (like Tilton and Sachs RSR triple disk clutch) so you will not wear out the pressure plate by pressing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.

I can tell you that this clutch is getting better and better every 100 miles. And it only cost $3600 + the 964 RSR parts.
