Just wondering if anyone has any experience/feedback with this setup.

Hey Everyone!

This meets my power goals and I was just wondering if anyone is running this gear and if it's recommended or shunned. :naughty:

Thx...

i don't trust some ebay parts, they look good in the pics but may not be the real thing in person. they could just send you some knock off part even though they say its something else

i dont trust alot on ebay too, but i heard that the owner or creator whatever of this brand used to work on act and i have a friend with a maxima turbo and he order one of this stage 3 clutch and works good.

 

[CajunKenny]

Yeah, that is a screaming price!!

Usually, especially with ebay, if something seems too good to be true...it is. Like we haven't ALL heard that one before. :biglaugh:

I'll see if anyone posts anything and also research elsewhere.

I am also curious if any one has used this ebay clutch/flywheel setup.

my friend has that same brand clutch in his civic and after beating on its for a year or 2 now it still is working great.

Repeat after me....DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!

Read this and you'll understand why. F1 and XTD are virtually the same exact clutch.

I have the "Stage 3" XTD clutch in mine and it sucks ass. Chatters like a sumbitch and barely holds any power. Unfortunately, I bought it before Aaron made the thread on the scam.

Trust me from experiance, don't go cheap on the clutch and flywheel. Fortunately, I have the 935motorsports lightened flywheel.

Because he has a car with very little torque compared to the supra. I have a BPU 1jz and the clutch just isn't having it. I'll be upgrading when I do my single swap.

Figures. I have one, still in the box. I figured that if it was at least as good as stock, it'd be worth the trouble to try it out. It appears to be a stock Toyota pressure plate that's been painted. The throw-out bearing and pilot bearing are in Toyota boxes, so they're probably stock as well.

The clutch disc seems to be a pretty generic 6 puck disk, which at least SHOULD hold a bit more torque than stock.

Well, I may install it when my current unit dies, and use it to last until I can get a good clutch to replace it with. If it's at least a stock pressure plate, it shouldn't kill my flywheel/transmission while I get a better one in...

Edit: uploaded pics of my "F1" clutch kit as it sits to that XTD scam thread.

For the trouble that it is to remove and replace the clutch, I would just wait and get a good one and change it then.

I'm going to get the Driftmotion upgraded PP with a stock disk. Suppose to hold over 400whp/torque.

that would probably be a better idea for you so you don't waste your money or time

 

[cheverlot]

dont get it the pressure plate is weak I have one in my supra it has been slippling the day i put it in

I had the XTD in my old grey car at basically BPU (intake/exhaust), and I loved it. I did post that in the scam thread as well. Many people have reported problems with it upwards of 350HP though. So, if you are going basically stock, why don't you just buy a stock clutch. No need to spend the extra money for the benefit of the community. All the info you'd ever need is in that thread. I still have that XTD with only about 2000 miles on it as a back up for my (hopefully) 400+/- HP car. I would sell it for about $150 if anybody wanted it.
