I got the ebay F1 Stage 3 clutch in!
Got the stage 3 in. I have put about 15 miles on it so far, and I am impressed. Its really alot nicer than I would have thought. slightly heavyer pedal and slightly more initial grab with alittle shudder, but it is farly easy to drive. And this is with a 8lb flywheel.
It holds my 10 psi fine.. no sliping or anything. Also, for the first drive it seemed to slip a little (had to wear off any oils/etc that was on the disc I would assume), but now it holds very well Assumeing it lastes a while, the F1 clutch is definetly worth the $150 I paid. The build quality was great, and now I see no need to get a $350 ACT clutch. |
country of origin?
|
cool, im curious to see how long it lasts and how much abuse it can handle... i might have to try one on the 1.8
|
I've been daily driving mine for over a year.
|
I take it you decided not to break it in easy.
|
has anyone put down good power with one of these and had it hold up?
like 240+whp? |
I take it you decided not to break it in easy. carbon ceramic disk. From ACT: ACT race discs (aka their carbon ceramic/carbon ones) usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break in period. |

It slips at 240 whp range. Mine was pretty worn after 12K or so miles but i never broke it in gentle like and, i was slipping the shit out of it at the higher psi ranges. It had about 1/4 or so of the friction material left before i was down to the wear indicators.

not bad for an OEM PP and 6-puck disc. If it starts to slip, buy a $100 PP from clutchnet, yellow or red, and you'll be fine.
|
Im running the XTD stage 3, looks about the same, mine was 180 shipped,
the chatter/shudder(i guess you could call it) is getting ridiculous, pedal feel is SOFTER that stock, irritatingly so . . but BOY does it grab, squeal 2nd-3rd shifts, no problem my $.02 |
Guys who are complaining about chatter/sputter check your motor mounts. I had no idea my motor mounts were bad until I put my F1 clutch in. After changing my mounts last week to the comp mounts I would say about 90% of the chatter is gone.

i tested out my sr20 swap in my 240 with some nice rips thru gears... not even thinking about the brand new clutch and flywheel... the act held up fine
