the two twin disk clutchs i've felt have been really close to stock feeling but smoother imo. i have a friend who has an exedy in his 700hp evo and it feels great!

do you have an estimated time frame on when these will be out? i'm about to add meth a some other bolt ons to my car and i dont want to beat on my clutch TOO hard if this is gonna be another year out you guys are doing some great things though!

all i really have to say is

Is It Noisey Like The Exeddy Twin??

edit: eventually intake manifold probably

My car was on Fred's lift when we realized that the bolt pattern to hook up the clutch is different from a 1er to a 3er, haha. That was AFTER we took everything apart. If you have a 1er and a 6mt, hit up fred and I'm sure he can hook it up.

you mean how some are 6bolt and some are 8bolt cranks?

what if i have a 1er with an 8bolt (well, mid 2008ish motor from a 335)? :P

reason i'm back searching twin clutches is i'd rather not have to go a heavy single plate, and twin plates on N54 doesn't seem to be common haha

Historically after 2/2009 they are 6 bolt. 1/2009 and earlier are 8 bolt.

The 'heavy' single plate isn't necessarily that much heavier. I didn't notice a difference after installing my spec clutch. Twin plates are relatively expensive too and will do the same job as a single. But if you still want a twin more power to ya.

Thanks, i vaguely remembered something like that

Is that what was meant by 'bolt pattern to hook up clutch' ?

Mm true...

Well, it's going to be a daily in stop-start traffic at least for a while (though.. maybe maybe not :P), and the stock weight on the 130i is about as much as me knee can handle in stop-start (heavier than the 135's i've driven though, for whatever reason).. 'grabbyness' i don't mind.. very on-off clutches aren't too big a hassle in my experience, just not optimal lol

which spec do you have? I'd need at least the 3+ for what i want, and (correct me if i'm wrong) the twin plates can have as much or more torque holding capacity, while still being slippable AND have less pedal force required?.. and reasonable price long-term rebuilding no?

thanks
