Well time for another review. When my original clutch went out I was thinking my car would be in for some downtime. Just what i needed was another thing to go wrong. Well thanks to the fine gents at prostreetonline.com i was hooked up with a stage1 exedy organic clutch kit. 219 shipped. I was very pleased at the price. Mind you I did get it on sale but still. The kit is complete with everything from the bearings, to the (imho) gay pink stickers. But I digress.
After it was installed all I could think was "man my legs gonna cramp all damn day". It was STIFF for a stage 1.
At 500 miles it seemed to loosen up a little bit. After a little adjustment it was tight again. By then however I got used to the play in the pedal and stiffness of the clutch.
At 1000 miles I felt comfortable enough to stand on the pedal. All I can say is DAMN! She grips like a stage two clutch(yeah ive driven a couple tegs and civics with other stages) yet she retains a very VERY streetable feel. During simple everyday driving the revs are smooth, and the engadgement is crisp. When you really rip on her she grabs hard and releases quickly, even allowing for some forgiveness in those of us who tend to burn our clutches a little with launches.
I HIGHLY recomend this kit to anyone planning on changing their clutch out, and have basic bolt ons to light boost applications. Mated to a lighter flywheel would really up the ante but I am fully satisfied with the purchase. Later fellas. :bye
