Nice one Tom

This RCM Baffled plate looking like everything from RCM so great,agreed on the OEM sump(2.5L or Twin scroll which we are going ) will be OK for you now,later on you can switch to the Baffled sump

CDF exhaust pulleys looks good,you have those new Titanium or Stainless Centre?

But in both cases looks good

You are going with the ACT clutch or Exedy Twin Plate?

Thanks Jura, think it was the best option for now or I will forever be buying parts for the build!

They are the steel centres just one of them hasn't been treated like the other hence the difference in colour?

I opted for the ACT Clutch in the end, 6 puk rated to 725ftlb so will hopefully be up to the job for a few miles!

Are there any negatives with it in your opinion? I was told they are quite harsh so I'm expecting a tree trunk leg after a couple of thousand miles!

I've seen they are pretty popular in the states but never really heard or seen them over here, surprised as they seem really good value for money and have read a few good reviews on them

My bro had an act clutch in his Nissan abused the life out of it on loads of drift days at lyden hill and the pod and it never missed a beat, great clutch
Looks like the plate is knackered when it's brand new tho
