F1 Racing clutches and flywheels

[mtx450]

Anyone have any experience with them? I'm having nothing but issues with mine. I saw Subaru guys were having good results with them, so I figured I'd give it a shot. My starter grinds the teeth on the flywheel (I think), and the clutch makes this terrible sound when engaging it. I've installed clutches before, so I know that isn't the issue. I'm running the "Stage 3" kit.

Just wanted to know if anyone else is running them without a problem. Thanks!

:cry:

There stuff is knock off, it’s not horrible, but it’s really not that great. I have a friend that was running one of their clutches, it’s actually wasn't half bad, but it didn't last that long. The sad thing is he had a pretty much stock ka and he could actually slip the clutch outa the corners.

#1 rule, don’t buy ebay for anything that directly involves motor or drivetrain.

if you want to save money hit up a local clutch shop in your area... find a good one, they'll resurface your flywheel and make you a custom disk.

better quality then ebay by far... and often rivals all the top mass produced brands because its made by hand from someone with experience.

to be more specific

I had an Exedy stage 3 that was worn out, and they distribute for DK and exedy and work mostly with truck transmissions,

they resurfaced my flywheel and made me a 6 puck out of kevlar ( I think ), rated to 450ft/lbs.

I was happily surprised, and ive had it for about 6 months.
with a local clutch shop they can tailor any disk
and any material to your horse power needs.
:)

I kept my pressure plate and total it cost me 180

wow thats crazy, i never knew that they could repair a clutch disk like that. i have an exedy 6 puck as well, is your sprung or unsprung?

[kalypso123]

they dont actually repair it, they used mine as a template to make a new one.

my exedy was sprung so they made another sprung 6 puck.
they can make unspung disks... but thats if you have a drag car, or something crazy.

[mtx450]

Cool guys, thanks. Yeah, I'll just rock it until it breaks I guess, haha.

?? mine is unsprung, and i wouldnt call it a drag car.

The springs on the disc just reduce shock from the input shaft. It's better for the main input bearing inside the tranny.

[redsx13]

im sure my trans will manage.

[kalypso123]

pardon me you're both right... it really isn't that harsh.

but in a drag car, unsprung adds responsive :)
