what's the word on 'F1 Racing' clutch??
 
did an "Advanced Search" titles only on 'F1 Racing' or 'clutch' and got everything under the sun but anything clutch related. grrr!

so what's the word with this clutch assembly/disk?


intention is to be behind ~375 crank hp.

Haven't used them but from what I've read you are best to stay away.

I got one with my rx7 when i bought it.. it's still new in the box so i dont know if they're good or not. Id like to know what people think about them too

ive never used one in the 7 but i have used them a couple times in different supra's ive built. they seem'd ok to me, i didnt really notice anything bad or great about them. i had a stage 3 in my turbo supra and it engaged quick and grabbed hard, it had a little chatter but not too bad, i did eat it tho when i went past 400hp. ive put a stage 2 full face in an na supra and it was just a little grabbier than stock and is still working for the new owner at stock power level.

to the op, i think id go with a little more of a hardcore clutch if you going for that power level. 120 seems a little cheap for a clutch that would last. i doubt you want to pull the trans all the time to replace clutches. i like to to buy clutches that are rated 100+ hp over what power im gunna run, maybe im just hard on my clutch's tho :D

and remember the main rule of car building (cheap, fast, reliable pick 2 of the 3)

i ran a stage 2 before, stock grabbed better and the stage 2 slipped as soon as i put it in brand new (it was in a civic running 12 psi though)
