I always wondered about those clutches. Was it a NA or Turbo clutch?

**Edit**
Specifically the diameter.

they also sell a kit with a fidanza flywheel…i was kinda surprised lol…and the guy selling it doesnt just ebay crap…he also does installs at his shop so thats a little refreshing rofl…but like i said…ill let you guys know..im getting it put in today for only…

*drumroll*

final price for clutch job…(from my friends shop)175$ and will be done by the end of the day!!heh..i think its a good price anyways…

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

thats what i have, I let it break in double. It has been working beautifully, never slipping. Clutch pedal will be significantly heavier and you will need to do the damper mod. I have beat the $hit out of that clutch and it has held up great.

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

damper mod?? what is that…

and break in double…you gave it a 1300 mile breakin? wow

how many miles has it been on

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

and my reasoning to do this is what…??

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

Good question, not too sure myself. I drove a friend's Z who had done it, and it made the clutch pedal feel a bit better (bit more responsive in a way) to me, but I would like to know sreich05's reasoning behind their recommendation.

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

Hmm, at half the price of the one on z31parts if it last 10,000 miles, I would buy one.

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

thats debatable..cuz it lasts half the time it works out to the same amount of money…but you have to pull the trans twice…

im curious to see how long its gonna last especially since i hit the canyon once every 2 weeks…which is what killed whatever clutch was in my car now..lol

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

got my car back…clutch feels good…im still adjusting to a 6puck lol but from what i can tell its better than what was in my car…which was an OEM clutch rofl..no wonder i roasted that shiznit…

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

1000 miles, not quite double, it was very hard considering i put the turbo in at the same time! My damper failed due to the much higher pedal pressure, and i have had the clutch in for 6000 miles now. You did get the flywheel resurfaced right?

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

of course lol…how do you know if the damper fails…

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

Gripforce is an awesome seller, I bought my fidanza from him 2 years ago, great deal and great shipping price, he also saved me customs fee's by saying it was a warranty return replacement.
Great seller!

10,000 miles is about 15 years at this rate. I am fairly certain the tranny would be pulled a few times before that clutch gave out.

Re: Ebay Clutch Review

Lots of honda guys run the F1 clutch and love it over other "inexpensive" set ups.

I've seen a few of them in 400whp hondas.
