Carbonetic News

Were you able to find the Philip’s EVO at SEMA?

It looks so different from the previous one. Love it or hate it, the previous one is more street looks, and this one is more city looks. What do you think? Of course, we like both ways! Either way is still super cool.

CARBONETIC Twin Plate Clutch/Lightweight Flywheel

CARBONETIC Carbon Front & Rear LSD 1.5way

Here it is for our ICY Racing at the Subaru Booth. This #111 was blue at the previous pics.

CARBONETIC Carbon LSD: Front (ACSFB9521) & Rear (ACSRB9510)

All CARBONETIC LSDs are distributed by Motovicity. Many of you may know the name of “Mr. Pawel Tokarz” but may not know how he looks.

Here he is!!! He is nice as he looks

SEMA 2008 was the year of Nissan GT-R and Dodge Challenger….. We do not have a clutch for GT-R at this moment, but we already developed LSD for GT-R in Japan. Also, here below are editor’s picks. The blade clutches are under development for these vehicles. Some of blade clutches are at final test. Keep checking for the latest update. 

 Both Carbon Clutch & LSD are available for EVO X!   

Super Street November 2008 has been issued already and posted about an article last week …….. and now……..shamefully just recognized that this irresistible 240Z hasn’t posted on our website….

Our Carbon Carbon Clutch is on SUPER STREET November 2008 issue, page 114. If you haven’t gotten yours yet, go hurry to get from News Stand!

This Carbon Caron Clutch is a custom-build and 4-6 weeks delivery upon receipt of order.

 ***Distinction***
１）No disc warp
The current carbon clutch employs both metal disc and carbon disc. The metal discs are susceptible to warping from the extreme heat especially for drag racing. By manufacturing all the discs by the carbon / carbon, we have eliminated the warping disc problem once for all.
2)  High µ  (High coefficient of friction)
When two carbons are pressed and rubbed, it results in a higher µ and very hard to slip.   The exceptionally high µ transfers enough torque even for the extremely high powered engine without causing any slipping.  With the high coefficient of friction, there is no need to increase the clamping force drastically and the pedal effort remains in a very comfortable range.
3)  Low inertial weight
By replacing the components which cause friction from metal to carbon as much as possible, the weight of the new clutch has been reduced significantly. The reduced friction improves the engine response greatly and enables the nimble and sharp gear shifting.
4)  Unrivaled durability
The unique C/C technology from ACROSS has successfully produced the new discs which are more durable and more resistant to heat.  The new CARBON/CARBON clutch promises a long product life unmatched to the conventional clutches.

If you missed MODIFIED 2008 issue, here is an excerpt. The pics were provided by Philip (thank you, Philip!!!) and different from the actual mag.

Now he is working on the NEW paint for SEMA Show. Check out at SEMA!

 What a story! Still in a good position, Raynal!

Hello! It has been a while since I have been able to send out a race report. Unfortunately, there have been a few reasons for this. The reasons vary from engine failure, surgery, physical therapy, and a 2 month span between races. Now that I can use my left hand I can send out a race report.

***snip***
In between June 28th and August 23rd we had some obstacles to overcome. In the week after the engine failure my dad managed to pull apart the motor and send it back to the engine builder to get replaced. Yes, I said replaced. Our engine builder took the blame for the engine failure and agreed to build us another one with the correct bearings this time. We also sent our head back to our head builder, Alaniz Technologies, to repair whatever was damaged.
In the following week I went in for surgery on my left hand. This was a big obstacle as I still to this day am very limited in my strength and dexterity in the hand. The surgery went well but calls for a long recovery that requires not using the hand and some extensive physical therapy. In the next month and a half the hand healed well enough to steer a race car around a track but there was no engine to put into that race car.
***snip***
In the week prior to the Thunderhill August 23-24 event my best friend and chief sponsor Graham Downey of Redstone Motors helped me install the little B17. Everything went surprisingly quick and easy. We were using the stock ECU for the motor and we did not install the oil cooler because the motor does not make enough power to get hot. All of this made the install fairly simple.  Off to the track we go!
The weekend went very well. Our B17 ran flawlessly. On Saturday and Sunday we finished a surprising 3rd out of 10 Honda Challenge cars. I wish I could say more but the weekend went so smoothly that no issues occurred and the motor ran good enough that I had absolutely no worries throughout the weekend. It is nice to drive a completely stock motor and tune for once. Nothing runs like a stock Honda! On that note, we will be giving our replacement motor another shot for the next event. Well, that is, if we get it back in time. The saga continues.

Sincerely,

Devin Raynal
