my stock clutch is going and i wanna know is it worth it to upgrade to an ACT or similar clutch. im only going to be running a stock KA but it will see lots of abuse from autocross and drifting. what do you guys think?

If your motor is stock, and going to stay stock, youre fine with the stock clutch. If you plan on adding significantly more power, then now is a good time to upgrade your clutch to something with more holding power.

if i ever do get the money to make some nice power i would go KA-T. but chances are that wont happen any time soon. so i guess i’ll go stock.

I’d say get a decent aftermarket clutch. It will stand up better to the harder driving than the stock one. downsides will be a more agressive engagement and a stiffer clutch pedal.

Do what i did, Stock Clutch with an aftermarket Pressure Plate.
You get the soft engagement for the street and good holding force for the track.

that sounds like a good compromise. what pressure plate did you use and where did you get it?

see i’m doing the opposite,
remanu. pplate and ACT Xtreme clutch disc.
probably cost me alot less.
i was thinking of going to a weaker plate but 20$ more for the extreme one

Whats wrong with a quick engaging clutch with stiff pedal? huh huh?
Get an OS Giken or Ogura twin plate and then it might be a little bit tough to drive 🙂

Well i do work there, LOL
It costed me $280 which wasnt bad.
Oh and Nik if you want to drive my car come on down.
Again though please tell me why your going with a stock Pressure Plate?
You want it not to slip dont you?
Its like putting a bigblock V8 in a beetle the two dont go.
Good pressure plate and Good Clutch go hand in hand,
One wont work without the other.
