Mike Laskey - Los Angeles, CA

I have used the ACT and Clutch Masters clutches and flywheels in the past, and I love the feel of this Twin Disc Carbon-Carbon clutch. The car runs like a bracket racer all day, and what's funny is I swear I could put this clutch in my street car and drive it anywhere. Mike Laskey / Laskey Racing

Marco Passante- Canada

This new RPS Twin Disc Carbon-Carbon clutch is awesome. It allowed me to get away from the jumpy, jerky monster pressure plates I used before which were killing my left leg, causing crank walk and wore out after 10 passes. I was sick of touchy clutches, constant replacement and walking funny cause my left leg was now bigger. The RPS Carbon-Carbon has smoother engagement than stock and after 10 passes still looks like new. Thanks, RPS Marco Passante / Magnus Motorsports

 

Teddy Weaver - NMRA Pure Street

 

I've been racing since I was 19, with my 1988 mustang gt. Over the years the car has(naturally) progressed, faster and faster each year. Other than 2 passes down the 1/4 with nitrous...it has always been naturally aspirated. I began running in the NMRA in 2003 and finished a solid 5th in my 1st year which was a big learning experience. I was hooked on the heads up racing when I won at MIR in the fall of 2002 at their ford fever classic. I've has tons of diff trans's(auto&manual) over the years and would much rather bang the gears. This year alone I've had 3 diff clutches on my CYN-R-G flywheel and when I removed the most recent clutch, the surface looked as if it was just put in the car, not a single hot spot on the surface!!!! I've had a Fidanza flywheel in and every time I took out the clutch the surface was badly warped and had to be replaced numerous times!! The steel flywheels I use to run would develop heat cracks, and warp as well. The CYN-R-G flywheel is definitely a huge step above and beyond all other flywheels I've ever run. Now I can't wait to try out the new line of clutches for the Mustang, If the quality of the flywheel is any indication of the clutch, then look out Pure Street cause my biggest problem is finally solved!!!!!!

Our class installed the set up you sent us for our 5.0 Mustang. At first look your product had a high quality appearance. We have never seen a flywheel like that. It was easy to install and everything lined up nicely. Yesterday we fired up the car, went through the gears a few times to tune the carb and get it right. I road tested the car in the afternoon and everything felt tight and good. The pedal effort was less then I expected especially since we are using the stock Ford mechanical linkage. This morning I leaned into in harder. What a set up, it is awesome. It is the first time I drove the car where a clutch hasn't slipped. The car now has more power then I thought. What a top shelf product. In October Lowe's motor speedway holds the largest car show on the East coast. We plan to show the car and will display your product banners you sent. Again thank you.

I've used every available clutch in my Supra and the RPS Carbon-Carbon combines performance and streetabilty secound to none. It's enables me to have the most consistent, hardest 60 footing 6sp Supra anywhere. 1.44 60ft's, 150+mph, and consistent 9 second passes, pass after pass, after pass.

Matt Andrews - Los Angeles, AZ

Matt Andrews -Ultimate Street Car Challenge Supra Rob from RPS worked very hard with us to build a clutch that would work well for the car's dual purpose road racing and street driving, along with all of the challenges we knew it would face during the Ultimate Street Car Challenge. Rob talked to us about our options and helped us find the clutch that was right for us. The RPS Carbon-Carbon handled all the power and abuse we could throw at it with very little compromise to pedal pressure and engagement. Pedal pressure was still fairly light relative to many "high horsepower" Supra clutches I've driven and engagement was very smooth under almost all conditions. When we wanted to make last minute adjustments to the clutch, RPS' customer service was impeccable. They understood our deadlines and worked with us to make the changes we wanted, and got it back to us faster than they initially promised. I feel like they took a personal interest in making us successful and making sure we were happy with their product. I plan on using their clutches again in our next project car.

 

Bryan Townsend - 7 MGTE Owner

I have to say, RPS is one of the best companies I have ever purchased from. I purchased a RPS 3200lb special clutch and pressure plate from MVPmotorsports for my 89 Supra Turbo. From what I have heard and been told I'm very impressed with RPS as a company. Your methods of dealing with customers and suppliers is unorthodox. You go above and beyond what other companies would pass off. Your innovation with the Supra Carbon/Carbon clutch is phenomenal. I want to make sure that I take the best car of my clutch before I beat the hell out of it with 500HP. :) I have heard about a 500 mile brake-in period but I wanted to hear from RPS myself and hear what you recommend for a break in period, and how to properly break in your clutches. Thanks for being an outstanding company. Bryan Townseend

 

Mike Mahaffey - 3000 GT VR4 Owner

I think Rob Smith over at RPS Performance deserves a hand here. The new Carbon/Carbon clutch is as smooth as butter, yet holds like nothing I've experienced in a 3/S so far. Again, in short, this clutch is simply amazing. It has the capacity to be slipped and still hold - so it takes a good deal of the initial shock away from our drivelines and still holds under serious power. The RPS Carbon/Carbon is something everyone serious about dragging their 3/S should consider.

Craig Olvey - Cincinnati, OH

"I have used RPS clutches for over 5 years in all my setups. They
never cease to amaze me. Top notch quality with cutting edge technology and
excellent customer service. What else can you ask for? The clamping force of the progressive dual diaphragm pressure plate is unbelievable and the difference in pedal pressure is minimal. It'll
hold anything you throw at it! I ran the 1200 lb pressure plate in
my last setup and can't wait to test the 1700 lb plate!"

G Speed Corporation - Hawthorne, CA

"By the way, our guy who ordered the clutch for his AE86 with the AE92 flywheel had no fitment problems, whatsoever. He really likes how the pedal isn't much stiffer than OEM, but how the clutch still grabs well. You guys make a great product. Thank you for your support."


Masaki Vance - Los Angeles, CA

"I've used this clutch for 4K miles now and I must say that it drives wonderful. My '90 Mazda RX-7
Turbo II is daily driven in Los Angeles traffic. Not only does the RPS Street Disc MAX clutch hold the power of my turbo rotary, but now I don't have to loathe sitting in traffic with a super heavy clutch pedal on a near un-streetable clutch like my previous O.S. Giken twin plate. The RPS Street Disc MAX
also allows me to take off from stop lights smoothly, despite my Cusco light-weight
chromoly flywheel. Thanks for making a great product. You guys rock!"

Clutch Type:
RPS Street Disc MAX

Flywheel Used:
Cusco chromoly (11 lbs.)

Power output:
around 250hp

How long used:
4,000 miles so far.

Previously used products:
OEM - Slipped too much, though it was old.


COMPARISON
O.S. Giken TS2B - Twin plate clutch was virtually un-streetable in the greater Los Angeles vicinity; traffic sucked! I broke 2 differential mounts with that clutch. Heavy pedal. I hated driving it. Though in O.S. Giken's defense, it grabbed hard and pretty much did what it was engineered to do.

RPS - I now use it and it's very streetable and more than enough for the power I'm putting out.
I have no complaints whatsoever. It matches well with my Cusco flywheel. I can always get it
rebuilt when it goes out and I can always upgrade the disc to a 6 puck if I so desire.



Paragon Tuning (Bob's Galant) - Aurora, CO

"This is a pic of my best time to date 12.9 @ 107mph with 1.7 60'. This was taken immediately after putting your 2500 Max 6 puck sprung clutch in it. This clutch might have had 40 miles on it before this launch. Before this clutch was a Clutchmasters Stage 4. Best I could do with
that clutch was 13.7 @ 98mph with 2.2 60' times."


Will Neely - Atlanta, GA

"You might have heard but I dynode 730 rear wheel hp and 746 foot lbs of torque using your
clutch! The unit has held all that I have thrown at it so far. Car was run at 28 ps and a 75
shot. Feel free to visit 7mpower.com for my moods, dyno sheet, and pictures of the car.
