opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

has anyone run a stock disc with an aftermarket pp? what were your opinions? i bought an act clutch disc and pp off some kid for dirt cheap, i went to install it and the clutch disc didn't fit, it was out of an a1 tranny and he told me it was out of a ys1 :P anyways, so i just went ahead and used the pp with a basically brand new stock disc. i havnen't had a chance to rip on it yet b/c i've got to put a tps on her :P a lot of people have told me they grip really good like that but i was just wondering if anyone has personal experience with it. i'm just a little skeptical, after having a slipping stock clutch for 6 mos., i just want something that's really going to bite :P

ive done it, it will last a good while, but why not throw a act street disc in there just to be safe, they run about 60$.

they look identical to a stock disc but they have a higher heat resistance.

well, i would have liked to, but it was the weekend and no one in town carries good clutch discs and i didn't have the time to wait for one to get here :'( hopefully it will hold for a little while. i'm honestly not so worried about how long it will hold, but more of how good it will hold :-\ i just really want something that's going to grab good and not slip at all. my stock clutch slipped all the way to redline until i would back off the throttle, i just got so use to it, that it's hard for me to believe this set up will hold it any better, but i pray it does :-\

I ordered a ACT Street Kit from prostreetonline I think it was and I got a stock (Daiken) clutch with it, it grips alot better than my previous clutch that I blew up (BTW: STOCK CRX MOTOR). It was 230 for an ACT PP & Clutch with a Pliot bearing, and of course stickers!

i have the xtoo act clutch kit.
if you read on the box it says 'stock disc' i don't think they did anything to it, except manufacture it themselves.

the thing you run into with a stock disc.. it doesnt grip each gear really hard. i grips, but there is a noticeable different from the upper model street discs. it is nice for street driving though. and it stills holds the power.

i havent had any problem with my clutch, except the clearance. it was too thick right out of the box >:(

I run a similar setup.

ACT Heavy duty plate with an Exedy Disc. Grabs hard as hell, even on a hard 1st to 2nd power shift.

Full Exedy Stage 1 with a Fidanza 7 lb flywheel here. I smoked my stock clutch after about 3000 boosted miles and it only had about 35K on it. Even a stage 1 engages a lot harder and sooner than a stock one, I was surprised. I wanted to go with a Spec or ClutchExpress but the Exedy was a great local deal with the flywheel.

Point: Stock clutch sucks for boost. Go full aftermarket.

I am a little hard on clutches too.. I blew mine out.. within a month and a half.. (I only came home on the weekends too :-\)

But the stock pp would not grip as hard as the act.

go to kragen/autozone/pepboys and buy a stock clutch with lifetime warrantee. :P
