Evo 8/9 Exedy Carbon-R Twin Disc Clutch (Needs Rebuild)
This clutch came in my Evo when I bought it last year. This is an awesome clutch and I loved how it drove but my Evo is my DD and is only raced a couple times a year so it's a bit overkill for me (especially at my power levels). Because of that, I decided to go ahead and swap it out when I had my front diff fixed. Both discs have a little bit of life left but at this point I would just rebuild it. For those who may not know, this clutch normally runs $2600-2800 new. Rebuilds are not cheap because the discs are very expensive but it's worth it IMO if you can afford it because it will last longer and perform better than the regular Exedy twin discs and it also weighs 1/3 of a normal twin disc. The part# is MM022HBMC if you want to try and look up the cost of rebuild parts. You'll obviously needs the two discs and you'll also need to either resurface or replace the intermediate plate and the top pressure plate. There aren't any pits or scratches in the plates so I think there's a good chance both could just be resurfaced. Flywheel can be resurface and the cover plate is in good condition.
UPDATE 2/10/16
Good news everyone! I talked to Exedy this morning. They gave me the part numbers for the rebuild kit and they also told me that you can convert to a cerametallic clutch as well which would save you a ton of money on the discs.
Here's what you need to rebuild with carbon discs (MM022HBMC):
Discs - DP01 (need 2) - $685/each
Pressure Plate - PP09 - $213
Intermediate Plate - IM05 - $212
To convert to ceramettalic (MM022SBL):
Discs - DL01R (need 2) - $230/each
Pressure Plate - PP09 - $213
Intermediate Plate - IM05 - $212
Also need a new spline hub - CH07 - $189
All of those prices are from eBay. You might be able to get the parts cheaper if you know an Exedy dealer though. Also, notice that even though you need a new spline hub for the conversion, it's still a lot cheaper than using the carbon discs. Hopefully that helps someone pull the trigger on this.
