Clutch Options

So I have been considereing purchasing a new clutch since the last drift event

I still have some time on my clutch, but I wanted to see what my fellow car enthusiates would recommend or enjoy from personal experience.

I am pretty sure everybody who knows me even a bit knows the make and model of my car and what I use it for so lets not waste the time on intros.

Have add it.

don't get a race clutch, you probably don't even need a stage 2/3 clutch. You will hate it.
How much torque is your engine putting down?

fuck that! ha i like my act 2600

Exedy Stage 3 6 puck. Got one in the civic extremely stiff but real nice clutch and i believe a nice price.

Money not an issue? Then only one option OS Giken

stage 2 centerforce i had in my supra was great, good for street car. stg 3 is pushing it for a DD imo

Anything with a full face disc. Pucked clutches suck.

why do they suck, curious is all is that a opinion or is there an advantage to full face disc compared to that of a pucked clutch

I should rephrase that. For daily driving when there is a good amount of slipping involved, they are smoother to engage and don't chatter.

lol o yea i definatlyu agree with that its just all ive known cause it came in the car

i have stage 2 excedy great dd clutch i like it

At this point I am leaning toward the Exedy stage 2 ceramic clutch or the ACT NS1-HDG6 6-puck sprung with regular pressure plate.

discuss!

drop 3 grand for OS Giken Carbon - Carbon clutch

Definately get that magical OS Giken differential. I hear it lets you do 110km/h in first gear.
That leaves you with 4 more forward gears to do whatever you please.

I feel like this thread just became Mr. Rogers neighborhood and we just got on the train to the land of make believe.

you are awsome ryan

stage 2 is probably good, not a lot more than a stage 1 but gives you lots of room to add more power later and not worry about the clutch. The stage 2 exedy on enjuku that i saw was a 3 puck one and might not be as great for dd like the guy above mentioned, unless you find a full disc stage 2 clutch.

I am mostly trying to stay away from organic materials. Now the ACT clutch as mentioned above is a made of ceramic material. (It took me a while to figure that out) So I could get in a 6 puck with a good heat resistant material or I could get in a three puck. I can also increase the stiffness with the XTREME pressure plate. so it is choosing between 50% more stiffness or 85% more stiffness.

Also, "that's what she said".

I got one now.... look at Adrian being a Miserable Montana.

I did sarch on Zilvia old friend, but I wanted some input from these frindly forum members as well.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking posting an automotive question on automotive forum. Anyway, you are the search button and you could have answered ages ago...

Your getting older everyday Adrian, please tell me you aren't losing your sweet S chassis touch!

Now lets stop this childish bickering old Chum and stay on topic.

Yeah I have a tendancy to freak out over social networking.

Actually, I was just hoping one day you could use your powers for good instead of suckiness.

Let's be honest I could never be mad at you brosef. You are the Spok to my Kirk, Han to my Luke.

What do you say six puck or three, with or without the Extreme pressure plate?
