Amur, is that Airwolf on your avatar? I use to watch that show everyday. That and MacGuyver too. Damn, I miss the old tv shows.

Yup. Loved that show, too. Loved the helicopter, specifically. The look, the sound, the theme. I've got most of the 2nd season on tape which I recorded when it first aired. I've watched the **** out of those tapes and they haven't faded a bit - back b4 they started making **** videocassettes. I remember paying $14 Cdn for one of those tapes, a Sony T-120. And that was the average price in 1985.

Unless you're going to be spending a lot of time at the track, I would go with the organic disk Street/Strip clutch. Its very nice, but already very on/off.

The 4/6 puck has some pretty harsh engagement, not really needed for street use...although its still ok.

I personally have a Racing Beat 6 puck *Spring Hub* disc mated to a stock pressure plate. I have nothing but positive comments on this setup. The sprung hub definately makes the clutch much easier for daily driving compared to the ACT non-sprung hub 6 puck. I have had this setup for 2 months and have not regretted it once, not even in traffic ... But I guess I have to let you guys know that, before this setup.... I was running the OS Giken twin plate setup.... So I guess this is much tamer in comparison :P

I run the ACT solid copper unsprung 4 puck and super heavy duty pressure plate....it's the ****. But I wouldn't recommend it for a non modified car..its kinda jerky, and around town its not the best. But you get used to it...

don't bother with the puck unless you have like 400+ hp... if it's stock or near stock just get the heavy pressure plate and street disc. I am running that now with no problems.
