Supermiata Twin Disc Clutch
Just received the pre-production sample to put in the OGK. It's been run in a stock 1.6 and abused for a few hours, now it gets beat up some more. The same cover, discs and pressure plate design have a solid history of reliable use at over 600whp in other applications in drag and oval racing. They're quite over built for your typical 250~300whp Miata but I'm OK with that.
The sample shown is a little over 16 lbs but the production unit with one piece flywheel will be around 15.8 lbs for the entire assembly.
The sample 6.6# flywheel shown has a pressed and welded on ring gear on a machined from forged billet wheel. The production unit is one piece forged steel. Also note the pic shows sintered .250" discs but the standard unit will be organic. The kit will come complete with T/O & pilot bearings, alignment tool and pressure plate travel limiter. No exact price yet but we're trying to the twin organic shipped for under $1000.
Once final testing is complete in a few weeks, we'll start taking orders for all four variants:
* twin organic
* twin metallic
* single organic
* single metallic

Emilio,
Do you have ballpark pricing on replacement friction materials for the clutch discs, flywheel, and pressure plate materials? You know I'm a sad, lonely bastard...and cheap too.

I'll have replacement part pricing when I have the final retail price for the whole assembly.

you have pictures of the twin yet? the ones above and on the site look like singles.
also is there any future spring upgrade option? just asking for posterity.
oh and I saw in the benefits section you are claiming "the twin plate discs will last twice as long as an equivalent single disc assembly."
I dont know if I'd agree. In my experience the longevity is a bit shy of a stock clutch because of the increased number of wear surfaces coupled with a lower tolerance for change in stack (disk-floater-disk) height compared to a single disk setup. You've gotta provide twice the clearance for disengagement and it leaves less room for disk wear.
But hell if yours DOES last longer, that's damn impressive.

Regarding the wear, that's based on a little bit of personal experience and the more informed opinions of reps/engineers from three different racing clutch manufacturers.
No plans for different springs. I think the disc options will accommodate most user profiles.
