Default OS GIKEN twin plates.

What do you make of them, I'm just about to arrange to have one put on my car.

Road car that will see some track action, full weight Blob STI > potential upto 500bhp.

I always found them excellent just take a bit of getting used to and they jingle when disengaged.

Very good and expensive i have driven a supra with one fitted to it,it felt like any twin plate I have used before but as above know what your letting yourself in for as there No organic and fairly ruff on the old calf muscles for a daily driver ,RCM speaks very highly of them Though.SJ.

Had one in my STI classic, was second hand but I had it refurbed by Rod Bell, OS Giken authorised dealer at the time. Found it excellent, great feel but obviously will handle a lot of power.

Certainly will, I'm hoping it will arrive this week, and then I can get it fitted asap, hopefully this week

Sorry Alan, I didn't see your post above until looking back now.

Well I bought a OSGiken, and it turned out to be fecked, so a Paypal dispute is now ongoing ;(

I am now back in the same boat looking for a clutch!

All is not lost though, as if I don't find one by mid next week my mechanic is going to remove one out of his own track car for me
