+1 on the above quote, my experience has been the same for some 10-11k miles now. Had recently the car in the shop with the person who installed the ats for me back in July of 2008 and he said it has less than 5% wear on the clutch so I guess I will have it for the life of the car.

I get some vibration from the rear if in reverse or even 1st and do not give it enough throttle. I think the clutch would have been perfect if I kept on adding hp/tq but I stayed at the 650ish level so I have sacrificed some "stock like feel" to keep the clutch.

I had a 1350 and a 1550 Kg plate... changed the disks after running it at the track... not the friendliest to drive but holds... however, so do other cheaper clutches... went with a Tilton triple... no comparison.. but then its twice the money...
Unfortunately I have been told by the distributor a few months ago that they stopped making them.... need to check tomorrow...

Thanks Mark!
I called Across/Carbonetic USA today, looks like they have dropped it for a new design. My only luck would be someone has one laying around in their warehouse.. Bummer.

I believe it was around 25mm. I cut a section of the rod out and sleeved it with a piece cromo then welded it. As for changing the plates after going to the tract not to sure about that one. What kills any carbon clutch is dirt and debris. Anything abrasive will cause carbon to sand itself away. Unless it sold there was a low mileage one for sale not to long ago in the for sale section.

Thanks for the help! I have been on the phone with Carbonetic/Across USA, they are currently sourcing pieces to build me a kit. So hopefully they have everything they needed and I can have my clutch in a month. lol

I am also thinking about cancel the order if it takes too long and get a evoms stage 4 and call it a day.
What do you guys think? Are the 2 clutch comparable as far as holding power?
They are in the same price range..

Tim you and I think alike! Triple means three and as we learned as life progressed from our childhood 3 > 1!

ogomez79 is infamous around these parts
So what other options are there if this clutch isn't going to be made any longer? Are they going to release an updated design? I'd hate to have to fork over the $$ for a tilton!

I had issues too! Mine were M/T 305 DR with 900 plus ft lbs torque. It is holding now though.
