Hello,
Just showing some video footages from Texas Mile, Back It Up TV Show. Very organized individuals put these races together. As you can see with my car, my clutch was slipping at 1000whp but I was pulling that 1000whp Ford GT that was supercharged and twin turbo’d so I had to let go off the throtle in top of 3rd gear to preserve it for the Top Speed runs (eventhough it still slipped but good enough to try it out) but it was fun.
Cheers and enjoy. Art
While the pressure plate for Porsche clutch was being under development, we have received the comments like above, unfortunately…..
Finally, New upgraded pressure plate for Porsche clutch is available now.

the clutch works awesome so far, grabs like none other. We drove the car to Bakersfield all the way and broke the clutch without punching it hard. We ran a few test runs since clutch was new and so was the tranny. Due to poor condition at the track we could not hook the car but here are the results:
60ft was bad b/c could not hook : 2.5
1/8mph: 111mph
1/4 mile: 10.9s @ 144mph on mid boost only
We busted the front driver side radiator and headed back home. all good man. Thanks, after I pick up the car next weekend I will do more testing.

Hello all,
Just wanted to share our new record with you guys. We were able to muscle out a new record for the Porsche world. We tried a few runs on low boost and hit 5.4 seconds which is 0.4seconds faster than a Bugatti just FYI. Betim asked me if we could get into 4s and then I told him to pull over. At 26 lbs we hit 4.7s. At 29lbs we hit 4.4s. Then the magical 4.25s came in at 31 lbs of boost. This run was completed on: 31 lbs of boost, two people in the car, no shifts, 50 degrees. I was able to break boost in 3rd gear and dead hook the tires after warming them up. We hit 130mph at 7400rpm and still had more room left. BBi has re-geared 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and with Protomotives magical touch (Tuning) it paid off. We now know that hitting 3 seconds is around the corner with more boost and no additional passenger in the car since it accounts for another 0.3-0.5s (depending on weight). Here is the graph.
Thanks for all the support!!!!!

“Shortly after its two time attack races in the US, 5Zigen’s Honda Accord Euro-R racecar was shipped back to Japan. It saw a time attack race at Tsukuba and was then patched back up all pretty for TAS”
If you went to their booth, you were able to get this cool sticker….. did anyone got it?
…Being that the Carbonetic is carbon, the clutch is super easy to drive. Taking off from a stop, the clutch feels perfect….it’s not difficult, grabby, noisy etc. It was a pleasant surprise…..with the Carbonetic Triple, but the few that I did get it felt perfect. It’s very smooth…that’s a perfect way to describe how it felt….For now…I’m impressed and very happy with the Carbonetic Triple Carbon clutch and the AMS Master Cylinder Reinforcement ring.
As we mentioned before, the Time Attack Car of the Year voting came down to a battle of supporters for two cars. In the end it was Ryan Gates Evo X that earned the win.
The Carbonetic rear LSD performed flawlessly. Compared to using the factory
LSD, the new unit allowed our Evo to get on the power sooner and maintain a
tighter line. It helped a lot through the tighter turns and made for much
stronger corner exits. Our Project Evo IX ended up winning the Continental
Tires Evo vs. STI Shootout and took 4th place at the Super Lap Battle Street
AWD class the next day in its first outing with the LSD. Here’s to going
faster in the future!
Thanks,
