Default Fidanza 6.5 twin disk review

Finally got the clutch broken in and Im getting used to it.

The driveability is great. Pedal feels like stock, and there is no chatter at all . You can even ease off the clutch very slowly without touching the throttle and the car wont stall or jerk. :cloud9:
But when banging the gears this thing grabs nice!

This thing really almost engages as nice as a stock clutch, I went from a spec 3+ which wasnt bad either and this feels 100x better (plus now I can get into gears at 6,500 which I couldnt with the spec).

The weight of this setup is amazing, total combined weight is 31lbs for the clutch , flywheel and both disks.

The only downside to losing so much out of the drivetrain is I need to get a re-tune since im cammed the car doesnt like the RPMS dropping down alittle faster, but I think don at slowhawk could take care of that.

Heres a short rev video and some pics.

First gear I can tell , sounds silly but the car almost feels lighter?

Other then that I guess it feels the same.

Il'l be re-dynoing soon, but ill also be ditching my cats so I wont know exactly what I gained from just the clutch ...
