Stock clutch with aftermarket PP is in it. Which is SHOT. She is slipping up top.

I’m installing a RPS c/c.

You do realize that you are saying that to the person that suggested and installed the clutch? It was an RPS stage 3, end of story.

For sure, Brett, I think I remember us discussing that in my garage. I’ve been around Supra’s for a long time and I don’t recall hearing any stories about a clutch taking as much abuse as that clutch did for that many years. Easily my top recommendation for a single disk clutch. The WOTM single disk may be a little better for a drag application, but the streetability is downright horrible.

Bakarian why do you want such a baller ass clutch anywayss? You’s not a street racing person and you dont bring your car to the track often.

Not trying to be a dick, just wondering what the point of such a serious clutch is vs the practicality of what your accutaly going to do with it

Find me a clutch that holds 800rwp for a Supra that isn’t a piece of garbage. RPS isn’t even a baller clutch, Tilton is.

OS Giken, RPS, Tilton none are cheap.

You also buy mods in plans to move upwards. I dont think this clutch will hold more than 1000rwp.

I’m relaxed. I just find myself shaking my head when you are questioning the person that has installed the clutch in question several times.

Nah there was definitely a carbon clutch in there before. I installed it.

But anyway… who cares? Let the man buy whatever clutch he wants.
