Can anyone with FI let me know what clutch you run as I'm now looking for a new one. I know there are a few people using the ACT from FM but I'm interested in what else is on offer. In the states the Max 5 is also popular, there doesn't seem to be much else other than the JR offering. Can you also say what size and stage you have if replying please i.e JR 1.8 stage II. If I go for a 1.8 does anyone know the average price of a used 1.6 flywheel. (2/02)
1.8 ACT and 1.8 flywheel on 1.6. Very good most recommended ! (2/02)
No idea what a used *1.8L* flywheel would cost. :-) I'm using a 1.8 ACT extreme pressure plate with 1.8L FM billet aluminium flywheel. Heavier than standard, but not excessively so. No slip, unlike the 1.6L Centerforce dual friction which started to slip at 9 psi (despite TDi's 300bhp holding capacity claims). (2/02)
I run an FM ACT clutch. (2/02)
I have the old FM Kevlar 1.8. Sometimes judders slightly in reverse, but grips like a b*stard. (2/02)
Mine's the ACT clutch also from FM. Bit tougher on the foot than the OEM clutch, but nothing to write home about. In fact, it seems to suit my car better, what with no power-steering etc. Feels like a big, fast go-cart :) (2/02)
