F1 Racing Stage 2 Clutch Kit
Recently installed this on my 85 S model that has a 13B 6 port in it. Still breaking in the clutch but it's not that bad at all since it was pretty cheap. The carbon kevlar disc was actually a lot better looking/built then I had though, resembles the RB one quite nicely. On the other hand, the pressure plate isn't the greatest. The fins that stick out in the middle forming a wide circle aren't that thick or strong, and also the bearing it comes with is poor grade so there is deep vibration in the clutch pedal at times. Besides that it's doing pretty good. Definitely gonna consider getting the RB Pressure plate and bearing to replace though. I give it a 6/10.

Hey man I am glad it is working ok for you. As for my situation is not the same, the results where quite different. This product that is usualy sold on ebay has destroyed my flywheel and it cost me a whole lot to fix and wound up buying a RB setup anyway. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE CHEAP STUFF BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY COST YOU MORE LATER. Good Luck!

Never heard of this product but it looks like an ok score. But hey, you get good quality with RB clutchs and pressure plates. I have been running there stuff for years and never had a problem w/ their products or flywheels so far. To me its all about quality and not quantity when it comes to my car.
Note: Make sure you change the pilot bearing which is a biaotch (need pilot bearing tool). Also try to get a good quality throw out bearing from the local parts store and grease (not too much) bearing, shaft and fork with high temp grade grease. That way you can avoid that deep vibration grind sound even when the car is in neutral. Yea... I been there already so I know your pain. Enjoy!

All the ebay clutches are made at teh same place. i made the mistake once. I had one of the 6 puck clutches and it was awesome for the first 15k miles. then it would slip when i tried to pass people in 5th gear... I've never heard of a clutch only lasting 15k. I've had stock clutches on higher powered cars last over 50k.

Wow, sorry to hear that about your clutch. Just keep in mind one crucial step to a good clutch set up is to resurface the flywheel and give the clutch some break in time. You would be amazed!
BTW: I trying to post the avatar EL Sammy pic big for you but I can only get it to post in a small attachment. I know I'm new to this forum but not other ones so if you could pm me how to.
Don't mean to jack the thread!
