clutchnet can suck my balls. My spec s3 has been great at 94whp on the track. I've tried a few of the different materials available on turbo vw's, and they all suck ass. I say if you drive a naturally aspirated car, get a organic disc. If you drive a turbo car, get a metal 6-puck disc with a sprung hub. Don't bitch and moan about the chatter and shit, just be a fucking man about it. You can either be a man and have a clutch that you know will grip, or you can be a beta-male powerbottom who bitches and moans that he has to pull the trans again and put a real clutch in the car while admitting you should have listened to your father (hustler) from the beginning because he is your alpha-daddy who's fucking your girlfriend, and makes you sit down when you piss. You better not let me catch you standing up when you piss.

My 1.8HD has been on the car for around 10k miles or so I think.
FM said they had the 1.8HD on a 300whp car that got track time for like 15k to date with no issues. And I've heard of quite a few similar stories.

I think ACT's clutches are waay under rated. I plan to toss a 6 puck on my HD pressure plate when I get the new motor in. I think it will be ok.

this is why i got a RED 2x PP for my 6-puck disc :) should be plenty for my goals.... Clutchnet 2X PP = ACT HD PP

You are right about everything but the sprung hub they are for pussys real miata owners get a XT ppp and a unsprung 4 puck metalic disk.

Because i'm running PNP Megasquirt 96/97 ECU, RX-7 550cc injectors, Garrett GT2860RS, and an upgraded intercooler without A/C.

What's so impossible about attaining 240-260 RWHP at 12 PSI with that setup?
