I have an Exedy clutch in my protege. It is not a racing clutch or anything special. It is just a OEM replacement. However I have to say that this clutch really frigin bites hard. I mean it grabs second gear with ferocity every time I acceling hard.
It's funny because I only paid 100 bucks for this clutch and imagine it is biting this hard. Damn imagine that.
I know that there are other stronger clutches out there, but I am just really curious as to how much horsepower one of these clutch would be able to hold.
I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to a spec stage 2 clutch and a spec stage 1 in the 323. Ofcourse then I start to wonder, with 100 dollar clutches like exedy and weak trannies like those on the protege's, wouldn't it be more worth it to run a weaker clutch and risk burning up the clutch as opposed to the tranny.
I guess when I put the turbo on the Protege, which is a slow process and has to be done before the 323 is boosted, I will have an idea of what type of power this exedy can hold.
We will see.
