r u serious?

fine then
its between these two right now

xtd http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XTR-S...spagenameZWDVW

act http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACT-C...spagenameZWD1V

 

ACT, You already went with a garbage clutch once, why do the same **** over again?

 

yep. has held perfect from day one. holds 14psi flat shifts no problem. but my TO came apart a week or so after i installed it. replaced it with a all metal one and has been nothing but great, and its CHEAP!!!!

 

yea, my ebay throw out went in about 3 months, how long have u had this clutch in your car?

 

Ive used a very similar clutch to the xtd (F1 racing) 6 puck. Worked great goin on like 5 months, holds 14 psi with launches and flatshifts.

 

Man its not a huge difference, just get an ACT.

Peace of mind is worth a lot more than money.

 

over double the price is not a big difference?

 

Maybe thats a statement based on situation, but when it comes to relatively integral parts of a setup that can pass or fail based purely on design & materials, I would rather pay more money.

 

its just ceramic and steel. it either works or it doesn't . me and other people have show the ebay clutches work great.

 

189 at 10psi? Thought it would be better. Well then again theres no tune right? You just have the 305cc with a MBC. Plus your timing is at 8* right?

 

i need clutch too.

 

They are the same freaking thing, the only iffy qualty part about the xtr kit is the throwout bearing. The disc and PP WILL work for a long time and will preform good. So why should I pay double?

 

get a 1.8 flywheel and 1.8 clutch.

ACT HD. It is holding my friends 271 rwhp miata. And its as light as a feather. I was actually shocked that it held.

 

QFMFT!

I myself have the ACT XT and regret not going with the HD.
I'm a big fan of www.carolinaclutch.com

Oh and, crongrats on the power levels!

Done. Holding on my car at 14psi. Only thing is that it's essentially a stock pressure plate, I'd prefer a slightly stiffer pedal feel but I'm not gonna complain for $157 shipped.

Of course, I haven't had it on very long, but I am known to drop clutch often and not be very nice.

 

where's the dyno plot?

 

If you call me I can get you a clutch that will not come apart... 248-730-5261
Do you have a 1.6 or a 1.8 flywheel?

 

4 years on my ACT xtreme. I highly recommended ACT.
