hi everybody, soooorry for asking regarding a clutch topic but i couldn't find an answer somewhere.

My question is the following:
I own a 2004 z 350bhp n/a and i need to buy a clutch kit with a light weight flywheel. I know that JWT and ACT are one of the best, but i was wondering about the f1 racing clutch..it costs a little less, but i am not sure of its durability (it seems good).
Sometimes what you pay is what you get..but again that depends cause although the car is at 350bhp i never drive it on tracks and so on. I mainly do a road use.

So should i
1) Buy a exedy oem clutch with a fidanza flywheel?
2) Buy a f1 racing kit?
3) Jwt kit?

Of course price does matter!!!

Thanks!!!

 

maybe if you actually looked/posted in the right section you would have had better luck

 

^^^
true.

my $.02... dont sacrafice durability because of the price. get something name brand that you know is dependable... the JWT has had good reviews time and time again. exedy too

 

If it's not signed by Schumacher then JWT. If it is then I'd say get the F1. BTW wtf is this f1 clutch?

 

i searched but i couldn't find anything regarding the f1 clutches...all topics are reffered to jwt, act, os giken and so on..

if you have seen such a topic show me the link..otherwise an advise would be great...

By the way the shop that offers the kit is good, i have bought in the past a clutch set for an s2000 with no problems..

Bold = 350hp alone

Your numbers are way off. You should be around 600 whp.

 

Hey DB350, does DB mean DoucheBag??

How is it possible that someone could have all of those very expensive engine modifications and then ask about running a no-name eBay clutch 'to save a few bucks'?

 

doesn't sound like it is worth it for you to get a stronger clutch.

 

As an update to those who are actually interested in the f1 racing clutch. I had the f1 racing stage 2 clutch(the carbonized kevlar) and flywheel installed. 120 miles or so now and it is working pretty good. Slight chatter from the lightweight flywheel at low rpms(just like every other lightweight fly for our cars), but besides that, it engages smoothly with no problem whatsoever

 

I was wondering the same thing

 

i have the stage one f1....figured id give it a shot, it was cheap enough that if it didnt hold up it wouldnt be a big loss. well all i can say is so far so good. engagement is great, feel is not much different from stock but def grabs harder. imo not a bad buy.

 

F1=Made in China, Much like Competition clutches.
Not really what I want spinning at 7,000+ RPM a foot from my feet, but that's just me

 

Let's see the Dyno sheet for this HP claim on those mods....

 

You're so silly!!
