Ya I'm sure, some people swear by preloading. All it is, is slipping the clutch some while at the line while also holding the brake, right? That way all the suspension components and the gears are in their 'mobile' position.Originally Posted by monjarassi
Clutch masters FX350.
Yes.
what stage is that sorry??
How does it seem to be holding up with 460+ hp? I have the same clutch, just not installed yet.
Thats very true, but i have been at the track a ton of times and have been around track gurus in the FWD business and even my buddy with the 700+hp rsx on slicks would have to preload to never break an axle. Out of the whole history of that car since day on of the Peakboost build till its last pass when it hit 10.8, the only oem part on that car that many ppl didnt believe was the axles, that guy never broke one axle simply by preloading every time at the tarck
o okay my buddy had a CC stage 4 with a HD PP and that thing broke after the 3rd pass at only mid 500 level.
Id suggest let the car cool down between pulls to prevent breakdown
What is HD? I assume heavy duty pressure plate? Perhaps that helped lead to it's demise. Vit managed to run his stock turbo civic at the track with slicks, at about the same power level as me, perhaps a touch more, on an Exedy stage 1 clutch with no problems.
wow that one hell of a tough clutch.
and yes heavy duty
Ya the exedy stage 1 is beast, I had one before this, and decided to upgrade thinking it certainly wouldn't hold up too much longer and I had the trans off, but I probably could have just kept it in....
my comp clutch stg 4 i just sold when i removed that disk looked like when i first got it, a tad bit worn down and i had just recently replaced the disk in feb 2013, and took the car apart in the end of AUG
Ya I agree, my exedy stage 1 still looked pretty damn good when it was removed.
