hey any warranty issues if my ballancer guy grinds down some of the pressure plate? even though it already happened still want to know how that would work out for me if something happens to the pressure plate. btw it was off balance a good amount if anyone wants to know.

Got my 1.6 clutch in. I need to adjust the pedal because the engagement is pretty close to the ground compared to the OEM clutch and the BMW. Very easy to drive, Emilio's comment about the effort is spot-on. Curious about what a proper break-in for this clutch would be though. Turns out my OEM clutch was indeed slipping at 10-11psi, car feels a good bit faster now. Going to turn up the boost in a bit.

How is drivability with the sprung ceramic 1.8 size disc? Lots of chatter and grabby-ness?
I guess compounding is different between manufacturers (maybe break in is the difference), but sometimes pucked clutches are miserable, and some times they're transparent. I can put up with a lot of unpleasentness in a street car, but a chattery/ grabby clutch is not one of them...

We only recommend rigid hubs for race only, trailered cars.

From what I've read here, it sounds like for my mildly nodded mazdaspeed (intake, and exhaust, intercooler), the supermiata organic 1.6 with the lightened flywheel you sell is the way to go.
Never thought using components for the 1.6 would be an "upgrade."
Would love the race, but can think of other uses for the extra $400.

The entire rotating assemble was balanced.
Flywheel was balanced alone. then all the fasteners and the pressure plate were bolted together with the flywheel. then the pressure plate gets ground to make the assembly balanced again.
i put my car together today and i have to say this clutch was the biggest pain in my ***. the disk wouldnt slide onto the trans input shaft. ended up pulling the engine back out and filing some of the splines.
finally got it to work. drove it briefly. felt nice. might adjust the pedal a little more. Effort is low but not quite oem but still light compared to some other cars iv driven.

What's the ETA on the 1.6 organics? This is apparently a Christmas present for this old man.
I've considered the 1.8, but I've also dyno'd at 185whp/155wtq, and don't plan on anything more than 200whp. I've already got a lightened stock 1.6 flywheel.
I'll be incredibly happy when I get rid of my rigid ceramic. He's spot on with his description of noise and gabbiness. Hate it.

Imma just going to back order it, instead of waiting and sniping one when they get into stock. Hope this isn't a retarded idea Emilio.
Edit: whoops, looks like that isn't an option on 949's site.
