ALL 16V MEMBERS...Clutch Question

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Funny, I was just thinking about this coming home from the track. We toasted 
two stock 210 mm clutches in the first year and a half. The car makes 133WHP 
(2L16V) and is used 2-3 times a month (May-Oct) for drag racing on slicks 
with a 3.94 final/Quaife. Mid summer last year I had a Centreforce dual 
friction put in, and so far, no problems despite the abuse. I like it for 
the street too, not grabby or easy to stall like a race clutch, and easy on 
my old knees, it actually has a lighter pedal than the stock ones did. Those 
who have driven it can comment, and I bet they didn't notice it wasn't 
stock.


Cost? Well, if you have to ask...it wasn't cheap. But it's worth it for our 
application, which does tear up clutches, despite what some on the list have 
said. And the break in period will nearly kill you...
