@Spalders
“@pdryder: from where do you sell such things? Are they OE-style clutches or race-spec cost-the-earth type?” http://www.sigmaperformance.com!

Then

@Spalders
“@gray999: @Spalders are they standard Firestorm clutches or better? From your favourite Fireman!” Proper slippers for racing or trackdays!

So who brought one and how much :D :D

Cheers

Not me, it just shows whats still on the shelf, like that guy who is fitting some Carrillo rods in another thread, they must have cost a grand :eek2 .Mind you i know of a retired bloke who you would'nt think he had 2 pennys although a great engineer has 7 V+M engined Honda Blackbirds and there's only 22 ever produced :biggrin

i heard they were discontinued.....

tbh if you want the slipper clutch effect just fit some vacuum relief valves, they work great, much reduced engine braking, drop 2 gears coming into a set of twisties and no lock-up

Nah- just stick in four litres of synthetic. Clutch'll slip perfectly........
£25 or so.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

From what I can see they only list them for the SPs, none for the Storm, unless they are hid away in a secret section of the site....

And BTW, I paid $599 USD for the Carrillos.......
