i'm intending to do so too, using exedy and it's no good for daily driving especially during jam :banghead:
is oem cluth enough for 10-20% increase in hp from stock?

How about semi-racing clutch then? its not too heavy and well its suitable for daily drive and the power delivery lose not that much~

The jump when changing gears using hard clutches, will it damage the engine mounting?

my clutch is slipping a little when i accelerate hard and suddenly
it's like less than a second of slip, overrevs and then catches back again
i'm using a HKS twin plate on an AWD pusing 400bhp
normal driving feels fine,
slow steady gradual accelerations no problem.

should i just hold onto it for a little while longer?
should i overhaul it?
or should i just buy a new one (ouch my wallet)?

anyone with experience on this to share?

thanks

But if you plan to use Trinity I let know something some ppl experience a weird sound during clutch engaging but is ok 1 just need to get used to it.

I've read from another forum that the wurth battery connectors will help increase performance, ice sounds better and many more. Have any of the sifu here used it and is it worth the money spent ??

Drex also mention something about it but there was no conclusion. Any comments appreciated.
