Well I am now decided to order the KEP2 and 930 disk from Paragon. I'm just waiting for my buddy (who also has a 3.2L) to get back to me to see if he wants one for his car too. It's a shame the dollar exchange rate is going in the wrong direction for me every day at the moment

1 British Pound = 1.74886 US Dollar

That's pretty freaking good! Wanna trade currency positions for awhile?

Maybe, but last week it was $1.85 to the pound and for most of the past year it has been over $2 to the pound. Times change though, last time I was in the US visiting west coast relatives it was only $1.45 to the pound - that was an expensive vacation

Hey, a few months ago we were .95c to the US dollar. Now we're below .70c and we've done nothing wrong. Those clowns who instigated this sub Prime mess should be publicly flogged and then hanged!
I'll be interested in your opinion Paul when you have this setup installed. Btw, what sort of psi are you running now?

12 psi at the moment

Any more than that in this cold weather and I make so much torque that the Cup clutch just spins from 4000rpm onwards.

When do you expect to have it in Paul. Man you're going to love hitting 18psi at least!

I'm dropping it off at Indi Jons next Saturday and then picking it up a week later on the 25th when we have this years Dyno Day organised. Hopefully I can finally be up at the top of the UK list (after five years of being mid table)

Good information here!

My clutch is finally going after a couple years. It was custom made by quartermaster clutches. FYI the Porsche 1" 23 spline is same as some fords and mopars.

It is a 8.0 ford racing semi metallic and so stiff that it is either on or off, seems like no slipping/easing out the clutch. Very hard on the rest of the drivetrain but that's all I could find at the time 3 years ago that could handle close to 700 ft. lbs at the flywheel!

FYI, I don't use a clutch fork, I have a hydraulic throwout bearing setup.

All my stuff is custom and may or may not apply to the stock stuff but you never know...

Bob, you are very right it is the same as a number of fords so you can use a ford clutch alignment tool when putting the disk in.

Hello,

Little feedback on KEP stage 2 clutch.

it's about 60000km and a few day's track it's on my 951 without any problems.

Only the 930 disc shows some signs of wear on the springs.

Setup : kep stage 2 + 930 disc, fork, transmitter and receiver changed at the clutch install. 20psi boost
