Clutch & Pressure plate (flywheel?), brand, source & price?

real slick lookin' btw, wanna see what she does on the dyno.....before/after 5SFE-LOL

jakedasnake · 07-09-2009, 06:29 PM

Stock lightened flywheel, custom clutch made by a local clutch shop here in florida they've always set my up with clutches for my cars and I love em! The pressure plate is the stock one resurfaced and slightly stiffened, feels really good! All in all cost me $300

MR2noobiii · 07-09-2009, 06:57 PM

I wonder what the rating is on that pressure plate, being stiffened and all...any chance that I might be able to use your hookup for a clutch/pressure plate combo? I'm a bit iffy on the flywheel issue, I wouldn't mind a light one, except that it messes with the on/off throttle balance during tip-in & tip-out....RPM tends to take a dip/stall etc

jakedasnake · 07-10-2009, 12:47 AM

Yeah man no prob the only thing is you'd have to send me the old clutch and pp so they can make the new one. Also I only lightened it a couple pounds or as much as they said would be safe and I haven't broken it in fully yet but as far as throttle response it sounds like a bike engine and comes back to idle nicely! I do also intend on tracking the car (Sebring) aswell so being able to blep the throttle without issue was of concern so far so good though! Like I told Servin I'll try and get a video up tomorrow or by the weekend to here how it sounds and how fast it revs!

jakedasnake · 07-12-2009, 10:52 PM

Heres a clip of how it sounded when I first got it started (straight pipe) sorry for poor quality only cam I got is on my phone! I'll be finished with the rest of the exhaust by tomorrow!
