Looking for a new clutch
 

I'm pretty naked when it comes to this. However I'm looking for a new clutch for my 93 Hatchback SI. What is the difference between a sprung or unsprung clutch? I was on LSD's site and they have those there and I have never heard of them before(the whole unsprung thing). Also, for street use/abuse on a soon to be slighty modded(bolt on) d16z6 what is my best bet? I will be running the car in solo II this summer aswell.

Thanks guys. I'm just used to manually shifted auto's so bear with me haha.

unless u have a built tranny, id stick with the sprung

Can you explain to me what the advantages are with a built tranny to run a unsprung clutch?

can you go to the fab/porn section and properly introduce yourself with nude pictures of your sister/mother/girlfriend ------ eagle?

The springs on the clutch dampen the shock when the clutch engages. The idea behind what he is saying is that your trans will be getting that shock without the springs.

Re: Looking for a new clutch

sprung for me, never driven a unsprung though. i was told they are called "grab and go's" :P ---- im still waiting for my clutch to get here in two more days, exedy stage 1 clutch for the hatch.

on the center of the sluctch u have the springs, when u ingage the clutch it lets the center section twist slightly to give u a smother ingagement. also you dont have even power from the engine. fire, frire, fire, fire, frire, fire,fire, frire, fire, fire, frire, fire there is a time in between power strocks in the engine. this would give u a very slight pulsation and the springs help obsorb the power strock and release it between so you have less engine vibration transmitted to the driver

ive ran solid hub clutches on a daily driver dsm and had no problems other than it weaing out faster than a normal clutch. my friend use a solib hub clutch in his del sol with a d16z6 and its fun hes had no problems with it. if your gonna get a sprung clutch tho get a ACT

Mike at LSDs new clutch line seems good to go as well, Ive read good reviews from JD (high 400 whp pulls-breaking axles and such), in addition to a couple of others. I have one in My soon to be running POS as well which should be seeing 5-600 WHP... I just bled it yesterday and it is stiff as ----. rated at 495 ft lbs... I plan on pushing it to the limit.... I will do everything I can to brerak that dirty little slut into pieces... Like the ----- that she is.... (if my axles dont break first!!!!).

:LOL
