Comments?He gave me a kick arse price to supply a twin plate organic NPC with ARP bolts, balancing etc etc...so I'm going with NPCI know it will do the job and more... will just have to do a few more cashies lolAnother comment about the NPC...NPC told me themselves that something to do with clearances, with their organic twin plate you can't use a commonwhore type / billet csc and a standard replacement csc is the only option.Anyone else heard this?Scott has got around the issue and can use an alloy csc replacement interested to know if that's common knowledge or what...Might be another few weeks before I can get time to get the ute over there and all installed but will update when it happens.

I want something that can take a bit of abuse, but not a lot. eg I rarely drop the clutch, but I often accelerate hard and if it spins the wheels from power then good fun. I need it to be able to handle the possibility of mid 400's rwkw eventually (in case I push the car for this kind of power). But I still want reasonable drivability as its a daily driven car. *it sounds like I want everything but with no consequences* Im just hoping this is doable in a clutch and still able to retain some semblance of drivability.

Visually the look the same. I always measure the uncompressed height though and match them with the spacers that are there. Trumpy. Twin plate organic. Any brand will do. Depends how fussy you are with roll over noise etc will depend how much you spend. Sent from my HTC_0PJA10 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or whats a mechanic going to charge me for install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 7m 19d Posted 10/10/15 12:32 PM Share Posted 10/10/15 12:32 PM There is a knack to doing it. Getting the clutch all lined up and square so the input shaft slides through can be tricky. If you haven't done one or have little patience id leave it to someone else. I regret doing it on the ground everytimeSent from my HTC_0PJA10 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very keen to see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
