Okay,
It's time I posted my review of my new RPS clutch install. I've had it for a few weeks now, have put around 800 miles on it, and give it two big thumbs up! Pedal pressure is stiffer than stock, but still very drivable. The lightweight flywheel (7-8 lbs) has made a huge difference, as when Jerry (Greenlight) pulled out my old flywheel it weighed in at around 34 lbs. So I lost about 25 lbs on the flywheel. The car RPMs wind up real fast now and feels like it puts much more power to the ground. The old clutch was aftermarket junk of some kind, which we couldn't identify. I was able to wear the old disk down to below the rivets on both sides as you'll see in some of the pics I'll be attaching later tonight (I need to shrink the file sizes). Okay, back to the RPS clutch. The build quality of the clutch was very impressive. I'm an engineering and this is a very high quality product. I would definitely recommend it to others. I've only stalled it twice with the new clutch. Once the first time I tried to drive and talk on my cell phone with the new clutch and the second backing into a parking spot while not paying much attention. To me, the car is now 10 times more fun to drive and responsive!
Also, big props to Chris at SOS for recommending this clutch to me, getting the clutch to me ASAP (two days) and dealing with my many phone calls!
And of course big props to Jerry at Greenlight for keeping his shop open an extra few days before his move to install this for me...along some other goodies!
