Default Tilton clutch inspection...

I normally don't cross-post, but I thought this information would be useful to those that have Tiltons: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...=1#post8260957

As you can see, I am getting very little wear on my clutch - definitely have no regrets making the investment in a Tilton.

Still good even after all the people that failed the Tilton challenge?

Hehe... Of course! I only wish I could get some takers here in FL.

Good god that clutch is more than the transmission, I'd hope it'd last! Glad to hear your having good experiences with it.

Actually, I bought mine as a left-over on a group buy that someone backed out on a long time ago. It was much less expensive than what they sell for today.

I have one of those on my track car. I briefly used it as a daily and decided I couldn't deal with it even with the cerametallic/carbon hybrid setup. The flywheel I have weighs 9 pounds... can't imagine what the 6 pound one feels like!

Mine's a carbon/carbon; so, I can't speak to your concerns above. Additionally, I have the 12lbs flywheel, and it's very manageable.

Scott- you went Tilton (I met you years ago at Trivia w Nero and Bottle). I'm the blonde girl with the green sc300 th400 car. How's the car doing? You still in town?


P.s. Every Tilton deserves an m800
