Pole position
Victory in Time Attack Mod RWD
Victory in Super Session Mod RWD (and 3rd Mod Overall)
New track record
The 1.5-way worked really well on this car, 66% maybe still is a little
strong for street tires especially in low speed turns, but with real
R-comp, or with slicks, should be perfect.
Very nice work. We will have to decide how we want to configure our other
Carbonetic diff also.

On July 4th, 2010, Ryan Gates and the Gates311.com / Nitto Tires Evo X finished 3rd for the first time in Redline Time Attack’s Modified Class at Willow Springs Raceway.
……(extract) I was unable to better my 1st session time of 1:26.5 and had to settle for 3rd place for the first time in my Redline career. Not very pumped on that, but I guess you need to take the good with the bad and move on.
Super Lap Battle Las Vegas: 1st Place Street AWD Class!!!
Subaru of Las Vegas / Zenkai Motorsports
Driver: Thomas Smith
CARBONETIC Triple Carbon Clutch: ACS23320-11
CARBONETIC Front & Rear Carbon LSD 1.5way: ACSFB9521 & ACSRB9510
Driver Thomas Smith also got behind the wheel to our customer’s (Crawford Performance) car which also equipped with CARBONETIC Front & Rear Carbon LSDs finished 1st place in the Unlimited AWD Class, too! Amazing driver!!!!
“The car felt pretty good during the first session out, and responded even better with each adjustment we made. Dialing it in is a slow process but I think with a little bit more track time, we will be in pretty good shape. The car that Crawford Performance has created is very, very fast. It exits the corners right off the apex–thanks to the balanced and aggressive Tein Super Racing Coilovers that complement the power the Crawford-tuned Subaru EJ motor produces. The Carbonetic Triple Clutch and LSD make a huge difference too, with just the right momentum to get out of the corners. Overall, I’m very impressed with this STI Time Attack Car!”
Thank Thomas for maximize the CARBONETIC Clutch and LSDs performance!
And congratulation for the 1st place for both Street AWD Class and Unlimited AWD Class!!! Awesome!
Ryan Gates, gates311.com has used ACM23380-11 for a whole last season without any replacements at super tough situations, and goes for this season again!!!!
“All ready to go back into it’s home. The Carbonetic Triple Carbon clutch lasted all season without issue. But before putting it back into the car it was thoroughly inspected, and amazingly the plates looked like they were brand new! Gotta love carbon clutches and heel toe downshifting. “
To his help for the 2WD-converted AE Performance/C.A.R. Engineering/Hankook/City Tire Porsche, Rydquist also uses a Carbonetic limited slip differential, to get the 470 hp from the flywheel to the surface without losing traction.
- It’s crucial at this track to have a good limited slip differential, to be able to get on the throttle early and keep it down, Carl explains, - so from my side driving and confirming what I feel in the car by looking at the data from the onboard logger, the Carbonetic limited slip differential was doing a very strong job by delivering great traction, very smoothly. With street tires on a hot track, spinning the inside wheel can otherwise be a nightmare for the laptimes.
“One of the most popular JDM tuning car magazines in France, AUTO WORKS wrote detailed 6-page article of 5ZIGEN Accord Tsukuba Time Attack Version.”
Unfortunately, no one from CARBONETIC USA can read French…. Even though we are unable to read, it seems it was written as “ATS twin clutch”.
As you may know, CARBONETIC clutches are made by ATS. So it is not totally incorrect. But just for your information, CARBONETIC Brand Carbon Twin Clutch Type-R: ACH23295-11 is equipped on 5Zigen Accord!
Have you seen our ads on Performance Auto & Sound magazine?
One was CARBONETIC Carbon Twin/Triple Clutch, our best seller.
Since it is our best seller, all stock items are gone right away. We will have some in next week, but few are already filled for back orders. If you are interested in, please order right away. Next shipment from Japan will be the end of April.
Other two were CARBONETIC Blade Clutch, the new clutch from CARBONETIC.
The blade clutch is a world first OEM replacement Carbon paddle clutch on the market. This is solely manufactured by the Across corporation, market leaders in Carbon technology.
This will be one of the cheapest true carbon paddle clutches available to date.
The price of clutch maybe entry level in the CARBONETIC range, but the performance exceeds many higher priced competitor clutches on the market.
The Blade clutch is designed as a direct OEM replacement, so it will fit on to a standard flywheel and you can use it with your own cover plate or our up rated item which comes with the Blade kit.
You can purchase the clutch disc on its own or with the cover and release bearing.
The power rating is 450 + BHP and torque figure of 450 + ft lb. (depending on pressure plate)
In recent tests with a Group N rally car has proved the clutch can take well over 625NM of torque and still shows no signs of slipping. In another Evo X test the clutch was holding over 500BHP with a 1250KG rally art cover.
The Blade has many benefits over metal sintered or organic clutches.
Lighter, lower inertia weight
Quicker gear shifts
Reduce impact on the transmission
No judder, easy up take when cold and hot.
OEM clutch feel
Superior longevity
100 miles to bed in
Can handle drift to street racing abuse
Easy to use in Day to Day driving
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.
Here below are the results for the same Porsche 996!
CARBONETIC Triple Carbon Clutch with upgraded pressure plate: ACP23320-11

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?
