Re-usable pressure plate

[Akane]

Guys, you reckon this is salvageable with a skim / machine?
Pressure plate in question is a TRD one off a MR2, I think it looks wrecked with the heat spots, and some weird bumpy orange peel looking thing in the last pic... time to move on?

bin IMHO

whats it worth anyway? unless its something extra special hardly seems like its worth the effort to me

What does it do better than what an aftermarket plate can do?

Machining a pressure plate isn't as straightforward as a flywheel, as you're messing with clearances you may have to get it shimmed to maintain the clamping within spec. Add to that the heat damage (I'd guess that the discolouration and pitting would require moderate machining to remove) and the risk of it being cracked, I'd just bin it and start again.

If this is not salvageable I'll be moving on to a twin plate, removing the gearbox on the MR2 is a pain, a 4 puck single will definitely hold the power, but repeat clutch drops around the track for skidz probably will kill it pretty fast.

Bazda can do a deal on the Tilton but I'm just worried about what I'm getting myself into, I read nothing but problems on mr2oc. Just got to make sure I got everything covered before diving into the deep end.

Perhaps run it by Autoclutch or similar shop? Have you looked at getting a custom setup?

Just went there. The pressure plate is junk. It's warped so much its not funny.

Trying to grab hold of bazda while I'm out and about to get some Tilton ....
