mike's clutches
 
just got my clutch in from 88turbocrx, and i love it

btw i got a 91 crx si (still n/a) and ordered the 6 puck sprung clutch kit

i don't have much experience with aftermarket clutches, this being my first one but i'm very impressed. Its very street friendly :D

I thought i was gonna have some trouble pressing in the pedal but there is hardly a difference from stock :-*

Definatly worth the money, thanks again man!

Yup, I thought the same thing when I used mine for the first time. Pedal feels just like stock, but the clutch grabs nicely :) Actually I need to talk to him about buying one for my 91 Civic hatch .

The one in my Integra turbo is unsprung, but I'm looking to get a sprung clutch for my Civic. I drive the Civic daily so i need something a little more street friendly. Not that theres anything wrong with the unsprung discs, but you do get a little clutch chatter if you try to let off the clutch gently.

which has chatter? unsprung or sprung...?

Re:mike's clutches
 
The unsprung would have the chatter, the springs absorb vibrations from the crankshaft.

I put one in a Z6 boostin 9-10psi.. seems to be holding good for now, just curious to see how long they last.

Boosted 2 months on one(unpsrung).
Am driving NA right now with the same clutch in another car...soon to be boosted.
When I took them out the pads still looked new..

I bought one of those off brand 6 puck copper clutches and it lasted about 2 months. It was the worst thing I ever bought. I hope you have better luck with it than me.

Re:mike's clutches
 
Ya, I love mikes clutch. I got a 6 puck unspung. hardly ever get clutch chatter. The odd time if it don't engage it fast with little gas but hey, wait do you expect from a clutch capable of 300ft/lb. Pedal pressure is no difference. I love It.

what kind of break-in procedure did you guys do? how many miles and how easy were you on it?

tranceminister 06-28-2004 03:11 PM

Re:mike's clutches
 
Break in proceedure? :-\ Just threw the clutch in and then hit it with full boost 8) That was the break in period my clutch received. Still holds like a mother though.
